oafc-latics Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 The back five is looking very strong now, with decent cover in Kusunga, Winchester, Mellor etc. Now to sort out people who can score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeylandLatic Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 ...doesn't sound like Smith will be here either at this rate.... I hope we manage to keep JCH though.... http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/oldham-athletic-could-sign-three-7216873 I'd be gutted to lose JCH at this point. he's just starting to make some real progress and I think it would be a bad move for both him and us. At this point I doubt we would get a fee that would be really worthwhile and if he doesn't progress the likely clauses we'd have in place would come to nothing. I think he needs someone like LJ who is prepared to really mentor him as well as act as his manager and I hope he sees it like that and would opt to stay rather than rush the big move that quite often sets young players back rather than progresses their career. Smith is our best footballer no doubt but he will also be our top earner and if we can get a decent fee and re-invest we should probably take that. A real shame that we're losing both our center mids but I think it's almost inevitable in this case. The size of the fee will determine whether we can all stomach it or not.

Lee Sinnott Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Brown - Kusunga - Wilson - Mills would be fine for me. Not sure we need another centre back other than as cover. A loan would be fine. That back line would do for me, too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I'm furious at us considering offers for him in the next closed season. We need to hold on to players like that if we are to progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_ktf Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Great signing. Would have mills over grounds at LB any day of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boysinblue Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Excellent, excellent news. Was quality in his first spell and I was surprised he ended up going to Shrewsbury. Definitely the type of player we need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Great signing. Would have mills over grounds at LB any day of the week. Obviously no Championship clubs felt the same seeing as though Grounds moved up a level! For what it's worth, Mills at full back and Grounds at centre back would have been as close to perfection we could get at the third tier of English football...

You'd need a Lockwood type between them to add a bit of grit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Lockwood upfront? Was in response to the post about needing to replace Lockwood when he's suspended for the first game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyPimp Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 For what it's worth, Mills at full back and Grounds at centre back would have been as close to perfection we could get at the third tier of English football... Would've been the best left-side of defence by a country mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeroyboy Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Very happy! Mill's has more attacking flair than Grounds and I would like to think LJ has a couple of wing options in mind who can whip-in a telling cross given a yard of space and a couple of seconds.

rosa Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Very happy. Thought Mills was a better full back than Grounds - although Grounds is a more reliable defender - and he looked like he was improving defensively in the short time he was with us, so hopefully he can only improve. He's so good, I'm even prepared to overlook the whole hair-and-eyebrows-not-matching thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
