Iwelumo has signed


Recommended Posts

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.

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?

 

He seems a genuinely enthusiastic guy, and with Matt Smith out for about 3 weeks a very good signing.

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?

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!
