New Player Incoming - Leo Ostigard (3 Viewers)

[Ccfcisparks]

If he's a good passer, could he fill the role intended for Sheaf?

I want him at CB if he’s quality. Don’t want square pegs in round holes.

I still think shipperz can do a job at CDM if the worst came to the worst and we didn't sign another one (I think we will but would be a better option than our new star CB)

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Won't be phased - the Hamburg v St Pauli derby is really intense (have a look on youtube)

The same Shipperz who can't/won't tackle??

I thought that was more Westbrooke that Shippers.

Got a feeling Leo is going to become a fans favourite. Supposed to be physical, likes a foul, kicks the corner flag and is a supposed cult hero at his previous loan club. All good. Kick JCH into touch v Posh on Saturday and legend status is assured.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Ostigard looks like a high quality signing. Just the kind of statement of intent that could persuade one or two more good young prospects to join. Well done MR.

 

[shmmeee]

Never heard of him, but sounds like just what we needed at the back. DM next please. Strikers always move at the end of the window, I’m not too worried about that yet.

 

[mark82]

outside the starting 1 we have no forwards also we have pask

Pask and Drysdale both decent, but we play 3 across the back. We'll sign another striker anyway, signing someone in a different position doesn't bar us from doing that.

 

[shmmeee]

We play three at the back and one up front, of course we need three times as many CBs as STs.

Careful with your logic on here

 

[mark82]

We have I assume 6 centre halves

mcfazdean
Hyam
Rose
Pask
Drysdale
Is Thompson still here?

odd

Yes, it's odd trying to improve. You used to be fairly sensible with stuff like this.

 

[mark_ccfc]

Nah Dabo is there.

You misunderstand, what I mean is do we need Sheaf if this guy can cover Til Dabo is back?

 

[covcity4life]

Tom leach saying he is in final year of contract?!!

Could be an o hare situation?

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Didn't know much about Ostigard before signing but I have to say I'm really excited about this one. I've mentioned in a few posts that the one area I thought we were a bit thin in terms of quality was CB and by the sounds of it, Ostigard is the real deal and certainly won't be there to make up the numbers.

On paper it really looks like our scouting department has unearthed another gem. Now for a striker and a CDM!

 

[Terry_dactyl]

I’ve watched him play once last year in Germany. Can’t really remember much about him.

I must have seen him play too! Can’t remember him...although St Pauli won 0-2 so must be brilliant!

 

[Esoterica]

When was the last time there was this much excitement over a centre back signing?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

It's a welcome addition but hopefully at least 1 striker is in bound soon.

Especially someone 99% of us have ever seen play lol

Colon Hendry

 

[Johhny Blue]

Why are we all worried about Pask? If he's good enough he'll get a chance!

All we are saying is give pask a chance

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Colon Hendry

He was shit

 

[fernandopartridge]

...?

bawtry is quite reliable, I quite like Freddie Ladapo if he's got some Rotherham gossip. Or maybe Sheaf is signing.

 

[ccfc1234]

Yep, much needed. Outside of the starting 3 we look weak.

I agree the layer below looks weak and i am not convinced with McFaz at this level. He has some outstanding attributes but is prone to mistakes and not getting younger.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Have we ever had a Leo before?

N Clark

Championship experience,he’s not just got old over night he was one of the many reasons we are here don’t talk nonsense mate come on

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

All we are saying is give pask a chance

The Beatles wrote some great football classics between them...

'All you need is gloves'
'Don't let me Downes'

amongst others (both Lee Burge favourites)

 

[skybluegod]

That’s why I think a loan with a recall clause would be good for him and the club, he’s 22 and played 17 league games, he needs to play some games somewhere. Jones and Shipley are the same age and have played over 100 league games already

You can only activate recall clauses inside of transfer windows now? So that would still mean we risk him being away for 5 months leaving us very susceptible to injuries.

I was thinking more Larry LLoyd

 

[Esoterica]

Colon Hendry

Well I’m going for earlier. Gary Spleen.

Dann or Elliot ward !

Scrote Dann?

Yes I had a feeling he has been reliable in the past. The flurry of news earlier did make me wonder if they were getting it out the way for some bigger news.
