At 20 I would expect him not too far off the first team surely

We only have to look at Bayliss to understand how hard it can be to get a player (and we rated him) upto championship level... Rochdale fans don't appear arsed, it's a tough ask... We might do it but I very much doubt it

[Evo1883]

Ok I bow down to your superior knowledge rather than badlans and robins

Hey everyone don't bother with this new signing he is shit

Jesus wept grab a tissue will ya what's up with you

 

[Evo1883]

Let's be honest though you only have to look at this board to realise that a significant number of posters are completely irrational

Ofcourse, I mean they aren't always incorrect though... I remember forest fans being incorrect about mcgoldrick but I also remember Walsall fans being totally correct about Baka.

At 20 he should surely be 1st team/11 at Rochdale like Bayliss was here? No... Not at All wondering why he wasn't?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

He’s getting better coaching here we know that for certain so let’s see he looks t have bags of potential

And you can tell that off a few highlights on Instagram?

Just fed up with the needless negativity, you can't make a judgement on a player you've never seen play who is coming in as a development player but you (and others) have instantly written the lad off for no reason at all

I think you two deffo need to get engaged

Yeah, that's it though it's a punt. He might be shite or might turn out to have something to nurture, it's low risk for us though as we're not brimming with academy strikers coming through

I can say that the signing doesn't inspire me at all... Which is basically what I've said.

True about the academy strikers.

Weird signing. Strong Bouwe Bosma vibes.

Must be over 30 clips of him on there agreed it’s his best bits and it’s mainly at academy level but as I sskd at 20 years old paying a fee you wouod imagine he’s not far off the first team set up surely

 

[mr_monkey]

Weird signing. Strong Bouwe Bosma vibes.

Apart from the fact he has played (and scored) in league football of course

Maybe that’s why we’re where we are and Rochdale are where they are?

 

[fernandopartridge]

This

Hardly, Bosma hadn't kicked a ball at professional level

 

[Evo1883]

Hardly, Bosma hadn't kicked a ball at professional level

I was on about where it will end up tbh...although maybe a tad harsh... Hes made around 39 (sub) appearances for Rochdale with 4 goals.. Let's hope we can do something with the lad

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Shmmeee thought that James was a weird signing so makes sense this confuses him too

 

[Evo1883]

Maybe that’s why we’re where we are and Rochdale are where they are?

Why's that, because their fans don't rate a player

 

[Gibbo]

I've always liked direction of our acquisition strategy - none of that Cole-Ramage-Hunt bollox as under Mowbray. There are bound to be cock ups, but so far we have had very few duds in nearly four years. I don't count the youth players, where there is bound to be a lot of churn. This guy appears to be a cut above that. Bear in mind the Under 23 striker cupboard is pretty bare.

Let's see the lad play before casting judgement.

 

[Evo1883]

Shmmeee thought that James was a weird signing so makes sense this confuses him too

It is a strange signing though tbh..don't you think? In recent years I can only think of hyam that we've bought in as development player whose actually gone on to do well in the first team.. Is there more? Can't think tbh.

 

[cc84cov]

We’ve had their pants right down here haven’t we? Can’t disagree with anything Breels said above and I already thought he was just another Clive Moyo-Modise.

Good luck to the lad but I know early season a National League North side were looking at him but only as an impact sub. They were really struggling at the time too and I don’t know if there was an approach of any kind but that said a lot to me.


Another comment off their fans lol

Maybe our fans should sign up on there and have a go at them

 

[cc84cov]

Go home, 2021. You're drunk.

This is even more remarkable than getting money for George Donnelly!? Coventry are in the Championship for gods sake.

Best of luck to the lad, genuinely, but wow.


There flowing in now

Well maybe our fans should go and tell them they know fuck all about what they watch

Reminds me of when we signed Baka lol

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Why are people so arsed about a player we’ve picked up for peanuts and mostly likely won’t be considered for the first team for at least a year? The lowest of low risk signings

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Who do we have in that u23 role upfront. We currently have Bremang who obviously isn’t good enough.

 

[mr_monkey]

Tbf you only have to look on here on match day to know that football forum fans don't have the best judgement

I'm not doing backflips with this signing but I'm going to wait and see him play a few games before making a judgement on him

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Because every signing we make now has to go straight into the first team apparently

 

[Evo1883]

Because we don't have much money?

So basically, you've said the same as me then,no backflips, uninspired.

 

[Evo1883]

McCallum

Ah yea Sam... He came quite highly rated though too tbh... Not many though is there

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Our u23’s is currently stacked full of bombed out senior players and 18 year olds. Makes sense to sign players for there.

 

[mr_monkey]

So basically, you've said the same as me then,no backflips, uninspired.

No I'm saying that I'm reserving judgement until I've seen him play not that he is an uninspiring signing

Personally I'm all for signings like this as we have had some good success with them in recent years
