Good job that wasn't available when we signed the likes of Irwin, Barret & Warhurst etc, because they would have looked poor too on a google search. He played 4 times last season for Grantham Town has not made 20 appearances in his career and he's 24 some players have 200 appearances under there belt by that age. Barrett and Warhurst joined when they were much younger. By the same logic if we signed a player who had just bagged 20 goals last season then they shouldn't be excited either. So yes people can form views on players they haven't necessarily seen in am Oldham shirt. Having said all of that he appears to have impressed in his trial period and the comments from Curle suggest he's a signing he approved off and he has a good attitude so let's see. His career to date would suggest caution, but he has clearly made enough of an impression to get a deal ahead of a number of other trialists.

Listen we are not in the market for Bentley's were in the market for solid alround Volvo's with the odd RS2000 thrown in. Overthinking what goes on inside our club is a torture on the mind, I / we can't change behind the scene crap, I've said before, it needs someone with lots of money to lose and the right connections. I'll stick to watching the team and hope that someone appears and saves us from the clowns, then those who never experienced the Royle era get something to cheer about sooner rather than later. Its football to me, I love it but its just football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are now LG2 / Div 4 signing some players who aren't getting into their 1st teams also. All I am saying is that alot of fans just form an opinion on a player before he's given a chance. Some players just dont fit with a club and then fit with the next, Rick Holden is a perfect example of this, moved to City were it just didn't work out like it did with us. In the case of Dennis Irwin, Leeds were at the same level as us when we signed him, other than that he was a first teamer I stand corrected.

SweeperKeeper Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Weird rewriting of history going on here. Ritchie and Irwin had good records before joining Latics. Barrett and Warhurst came straight from youth teams of good pedigree. The game is more than stats, but the way some people talk you might as well do a lucky dip with your eyes shut. Might as well let all comers have a go, everyone deserves another chance, eh? Or in other words, not every car has the reliability record of a Volvo.

SweeperKeeper Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 By the way, I'm not saying we shouldn't take a chance on players with a poor record if we think there's a reason we can turn it around. Baxter worked out, Green was worth the punt too even though it didn't work out. If it's clear the basics are there then give it a go. Same goes for players who've done well at lower levels and need a chance to prove themselves at our level. I'm less sure it's worth taking a punt on someone who has been poor in our division before just because they're not up to that standard, and hoping they'll turn to gold dust at BP.

Listen whatever you say on here someone comes along to prove you wrong, disagree or put your opinion down. I never say I'm right but its my opinion, much easier having debates or chats in person rather than on keyboards or phones where what you want or mean to say doesn't always come accross. Anyway I hope all the new players fit in and help us have a good season, we deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should get more goals than he does at that height. I guess he's another defensive midfielder like the Spurs lad we are supposed to have signed.

He's played against us a few times for MK Dons and Orient and bossed our midfield physically. Definitely the type of player we were missing last season, and fits the bill better than Furman.

LaticMark Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Curle yesterday 🗣 on the academy... “Junior (Luamba), Vani (Da Silva), Will (Sutton) and Harry (Vaughan) have all featured in pre-season and two of them have today gone on loan to gain experience in men’s football." Anyone know which two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
