razza699 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 abit like Prozac the other day reflecting on the Murray signing this guy could actually provide the edge we need as long as he wants to roll his sleeves up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Looking at his goals for Wolves, he's no shrinking violet and puts his head in where it hurts. Exactly what you need in a relegation battle, just need the nippy fox in the box now. Hurry up and sign Super Kev... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laticacid Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 wouldnt fancy dealing with him and smith for 20 mins if we are chasing a game, cant see them as a pair though, woudl feel sorry for smith if he loses his place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincoln Blue Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Smith is out for the next 2 weeks or so. Now we can see why we signed a similar type player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Smith is out for 2-3 weeks according to the official site. Simpson is out for a couple of games too. (And Mchangama is out for the season.) Iwelumo is definitely needed then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza699 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yep I take back my initial comments yesterday, well played PD/SC getting Iwelumo in covering Smith. PD obviously doesn't rate Taylor yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razza699 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Someone one twitter has just put Oldham Athletic striker Dan Taylor looks to join Gatesheadfc after Iwelumo jooning the Latics #heedarmy #gatesheadfc #oafc Interesting, I bet Taylor will be gutted if he is farmed out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoafc Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yep I take back my initial comments yesterday, well played PD/SC getting Iwelumo in covering Smith.

the_mighty_bosh Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Someone one twitter has just put Oldham Athletic striker Dan Taylor looks to join Gatesheadfc after Iwelumo jooning the Latics #heedarmy #gatesheadfc #oafc Interesting, I bet Taylor will be gutted if he is farmed out I'd be pretty disappointed too, unless we plan to bring in another 1st team striker. He's looked a bit green but he does OK playing off a target man, not many of our other strikers do that. If we keep faith in him I could see him being a very good striker at this level in a couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 In Iwelumo's LP interview, Gordon says "Chris I've never heard anyone sound so enthusiastic about joining Oldham Athletic." A good sign? Or just goes to show that no other player is arsed about being here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just goes to show that no other player is arsed about being here? He seems a genuinely enthusiastic guy, and with Matt Smith out for about 3 weeks a very good signing.

tangerinedreams Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 He seems a genuinely enthusiastic guy, and with Matt Smith out for about 3 weeks a very good signing. So based on what you've just said: he's good for 3 weeks and then................what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Then we have the luxury of being able to choose between strikers rather than forced to play whoever's fit regardless of form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) So based on what you've just said: he's good for 3 weeks and then................what? Squad rotation..Iwelumo might need a rest then. Edited January 31, 2013 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The only player I would send out on loan is Miller and then I would forget where I had sent him! Has to keep Taylor! Surely we are not going to play Iwelumo and Baxter as our strikers on Saturday. Has PD not learned anything from beating Liverpool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatkinCUFC Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Colchester United fan here, was having a mooch because I was interested in this signing (congrats on sunday by the way!). Iwelumo is my favourite ever colchester player. In the season we got promoted to the championship, and our first season there, 'big chris' was an absolutely titanic figure. Big, strong, surprisingly fast and skillful. There is a reason jamie cureton was top scorer in the championship one season, then flopped the next, and that was because only one season did he have iwelumo smashing people out of the way and putting it on a plate for him. He took our penalties (in a unique way!) So he isn't just a useless hack. He also is, above all, a character, and by all accounts an all round good egg - I can well believe his enthusiasm, he obviously loves being a footballer and even posted a couple of times on our message board. I guess there is always a chance he is old and :censored: now, but I thought I would share my thoughts on a hero of mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
