League one forever Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Most signings are a gamble - but this one particularly so. Hardly played a game for Forest and made only made 11 appearances for Cheltenham in a 6 month loan. The article suggests he’s highly rated, the stats suggest otherwise. . He could really come into his own at a lower level, or he could just be shite. Let’s hope it’s the former. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he’s decent and I don’t have to watch Gardner pointing and hiding any more. Edited January 19 by kowenicki 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyyou Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Like the age/profile of players being brought in by MM and Brabin, who have a good talent-spotting record. Youngsters from Prem, Champs, L1 with a point to prove who will hopefully add "legs" and enthusiasm. A few more like Josh Stones won't go amiss. These lads won't cost a fortune but could make a difference until MM can have a proper clear-out in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sai England Under 19 Walker not released by Blackburn and played every game on loan at Morecambe. Stones just signed a 3 year deal before joining us. Conlon won promotion from league two, and seen as their best player for 2/3 seasons. This is the first MM signing that looks a real punt- especially given it’s a permanent. There are plenty in our side who could make sporadic appearances in league one and hold their own. But they don’t play at that level because they aren’t consistent enough. He’s a young prospect who’s dropping 4 divisions to get regular football after a lukewarm loan. Anyway, let’s see. He just needs to be better than Magehy. . .

BradKnowles1 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 No idea about the lad playing league one this season. He adds some value to this squad. We don’t have many young raw players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradKnowles1 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 If we can unearth another Stones we really do have a strong first 11 arguably would challenge in league two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wales u21 International, u18s and u21s captain at Forest suggests he's not without talent. Of course it's a step up to regular mens football but an 18 month deal doesn't sound unreasonable when you consider some of the 2/3 year deals we have handed out to numpties. Good luck to the lad. Times have changed, I know, but Big Joe made a habit of raiding higher clubs for young talent on the fringes and that didn't turn out too bad. Be interesting to see who the next signing is now. In MM and GB we trust. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcmb Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Another one coming in before Tuesday. Im hoping its a forward to partner Norwood. Fondop is an off the bench player in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started 4 games in league 1 with a further 6 off the bench for a team in the bottom four. Hopefully dropping down to the National League will allow him to show more. In Mellon we trust I suppose… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not a loaded question, genuinely asking) I read that as he does trust him, Mellon has a terrific record in unearthing players and to be fair he gives Brabin some credit for this so we have to trust the process.

LightDN123 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 We haven't controlled on more than a handful of occasions for 18 months. I’ll take any new centre mid we can get to hopefully improve that. Won’t be any worse than McGahey and Sheron. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we got an Ollie and he's ginger so must be good. Transfer market value him at £250000. I trust MM.whose taken his time to bring in players,so have every faith in his signings. Just what we need.
