What a pathetic signing. Not that it would matter who it was as we are down already in January!

Might be worth at least letting him play a game or 2 for us.

I admire your optimism but an 18 year old from a team who's U23's are six places below us in the same league isn't exactly inspiring. Same old rubbish. Andre Wright,Dan Agyei. They're all the same

Watford didn't have a side in the Checkatrade, so yep, he's available. Yipeee!!!

Adam Armstrong? Jacob Murphy (when he bothered)?
He may well be turd, but give the lad a chance at least.

The only thing is he carries none of the fear of relegation that the rest of the team are living with

In the first 3 games.

Your Armstrongs and Murphy rarely come about. I'm afraid your Andre Wrights etc outnumber your Armstrongs 10 to 1.

Might work out good for us, but still don't get the point of signing other teams youngsters on loan when we have our own.
Could have just brought Jordan Ponticelli into the first team fold for a run of games. Bury did similar over the last month and it nearly worked for them.
But still think we're missing a creative midfielder, someone who will create chances for the forwards. Need to push Haynes further up as well, his defensive capabilities are not very good compared to his attacking. For that to happen we need Stokes back in.

He may well be, I'll watch him a couple of times to get an idea first though.

Turns out we missed out on Eoin Doyle so we were desperate and signed this kid. Stinks of the Hepburn Murphy situation last transfer window. Don't blame Doyle as he has more chance there of being in league one next season

Didn't he go to a manager he knows?

You aren't there with a vein exploding on Saturday with anger shouting at him then?

I don't know. If he did I can't help but feel there was other reasons for him turning us down though

I'm sure there is

It's OK, something will be made up soon without any actual facts behind it to get the people going.

Got to say, I would like to see Pontichelli getting some game time.
He's on loan at Pompey, why would where they are next season matter? More likely they don't want to throw him into a relegation scrap.

Agree, half hoped at a Checkatrade from the bench for a bit even at 3-0 up or something.

Slade signed him for Cardiff.
Nick

True, probably why he tried then
Don't think he had much of a sniff at Cardiff did he?
Doyle said he signed for Chesterfield because he had worked with Cook at Sligo Rovers too
So I'd guess it happened again.

It's whether he works with Slades style that worries me if anything.
Watford didn't enter the Checkatrade so should be available.

Permanent deal might come from it. He probably won't play for Preston again

Got to be better than Jodi Jones at being a target man for the long ball though!

Ignore me. Somehow I thought he was 5"9, not 5"11. Time for bed I think.

What's 2 or 3 inches between friends?
