Ross2509 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I've seen some rumours over Twitter that we're close to signing Lloyd Jones (CB) on loan from Liverpool. I don't know whether anyone knows anything or knows that we're signing Sama instead? Apparently Jones is a lot better than Sama as well.

BP1960 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 He's only 17 so can't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz_Oafc Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I thought this sama lad was just somebody suggesting him as he's a CB and plays for Liverpool? Is there actually anything anywhere to say we're interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoafc Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 If there is any truth in this, not sure it's what we require to begin with. More experience in the defence is needed IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oafc1895 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Why are we looking for a CB from Liverpool after Matt Smith raped them. Surely they won't be able to handle our league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slider1 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Don't think we have the budget for an experienced centre back, getting a young inexperienced defender from a premier league club is probably our only option. Just got to hope we find a gem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc_lover Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Yes, but do you think a 17yo is the way to go? Like he said...if he's good enough, what does his age matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobOAFC Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Yes, but do you think a 17yo is the way to go? Personally would prefer us to bring in someone a bit older, but if he improves the team then it doesn't matter if he's 17 or 35. Everyone seems to want an older head to be brought in but we already have that in Bryne, do we really need two experienced players for CB who have got no pace and would probably command a significant wage?

Aye that's what I meant by being a bit older, but if we sign Rooney I'd be surprised if we can afford someone decent who has a decent amount of experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoafc Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I just think we need someone with a bit of know how to help bring our young lads on....just my opinion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like he said...if he's good enough, what does his age matter? hmmmm, I can think of many... there are some crafty forwards in our league, a 17 year old would just get bummed...

bigfatjoe1 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 What about that ausie, kismynorbo? He's available on a free. Lots of experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 It was me that suggested Sama a few weeks ago not because I was in the know - simply a suggestion. I see Conor Coady has signed for Sheff Utd on a sixth month loan, good signing for them. As for defenders playing 2/300 games by 26 Gaz, sadly it's becoming rarer by the year. Never heard of the jones lad tbh maybe he'll get a run out in their friendly tomorrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 What about that ausie, kismynorbo? He's available on a free. Lots of experience. He's had some serious injuries the last couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
