CP1991 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I have it on good grounds that he has signed today and will be announced July 1st. Quality signing, was head and shoulders our best player towards the back end of the season and is just the sort of player we need with the pace we have brought into the team, he will give them the ball and set up attacks. Happy chap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc-latics Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 IF you're right, that's a cracking signing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticdickovarmy Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Where did you hear that? It could still be announced before 1st July but officially join us then.... Really hope it's true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slystallone Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 IF......if that's true, that is a cracking signing. Gives options at RB, DCM, CM and RM. I would still prefer an older head CM to be added; as I've said previously; a J Douglas type. Neal Bishop has been released by Notts County; someone lime him. But, if LJ is going down the young pups route; Smith is as good as any we could hope for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc joe Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Decent signing dorm get me wrong, but in my eyes he's too similar to Wesolowski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpo Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Decent signing dorm get me wrong, but in my eyes he's too similar to Wesolowski Disagree, I think Smith is better on the ball than Weso, as well as making more forward runs. Makes things happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP1991 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 I work in south Manchester as a football coach and one of the kids' parents is principal at oldham college. The college are working closely with the club atm as they plan to use part of the New build for lectures/events etc and the parent has become close friends with corney. He was at the club today and was told that everything was signed and sealed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scapegoat Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Having bought the 'match' white shirt with KS on it I presumed that he would leave was a 100% certainty ;-) Pleased if true - looked v decent last season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpo Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Smith is a very good player, wes is distinctly average Going off last season yes. Hopefully he can recapture his previous form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpo Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Why the delay in announcements until July 1st if he signed today ? Due to him being contracted to Norwich until June 30, he won't technically be our player (if this is true) until July 1. Some clubs announce these pre-contract deals anyway, while some wait. Could also possibly be at the request of Norwich, or it could be a complicated contractual reason why we have to wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its bound to leak out though, the powers that be can't keep a secrets from OWTB for 2 minutes never mind 2 weeks.

Some clubs announce these pre-contract deals anyway, while some wait. Could also possibly be at the request of Norwich, or it could be a complicated contractual reason why we have to wait. I suspect it'll be because he's under 24 and so, until his contract expires, Norwich have the option of offering a new one, which would allow them to claim compensation.

longtimeblue Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 This is definitely bollocks. He was "1million %" to sign for Leyton Orient a few days ago on the football rumours site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukers1 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Good signing IMO. Yep, he wont have come cheap, BUT, if he plays in 90% of the season we have a quality player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
