CCFC sign midfielder Bryn Morris on loan deal (3 Viewers)

[kg82]

Erm?? I think he does yes.

And I agree! I was being a sarcastic knob!

[LJC_CCFC]

Its been said we're looking to bring in 3-4 more players of which this is the first. This chap turning up doesn't mean there won't be a striker coming in at some point.

Some people are never happy!

Exactly. It's as if some people think now that we've signed a player, that's us done. Baffling.

Sorry darling

Sounds like he might be a similar type of player as Ward, Describes himself as a 'box to box' midfielder and if he can play centre back you would presume he can put in a tackle. Imagine if he was to get a game it would be along side Vincelot and then the more advanced role would be between JOB/Fleck/Maddison/Ruben

Surely you hire the people you need as they become available? If we need another midfielder and one he wants is available now, wouldn't it be mad to decline and let him go elsewhere?

As long as it's not an either/or, that's fine.

Does concern me slightly however, that the season starts in a couple of days and we're lacking goalscoring strikers who've built up an understanding with the squad.

Exactly my point.

But don't worry there's not 5 games in August or anything

Sure but it isn't either/or. The strikers will come in as soon as they are available.

Let's hope we can get by with 1-0's then.

 

[IrishSkyBlue]

i really thought he would get in a striker with the game coming up,maybe he is waiting to see what money the gates bring in sat to get a striker?

 

[ccfc_Tom]

Good competition in midfield now, bring on a winger and couple of strikers

Let's hope tomorrow brings a striker.

Or Armstrong/Tudgay can pull a couple of goals out the bag...

"@KieranCrowley1 - Just because #CCFC have brought in a CM, doesn't mean wingers and strikers aren't targets. TM and Venus working hard to get them in. #PUSB"

Well... in terms of building a squad and having them bond, the close season has already been an either/or. We've decided, for better or worse, to go with Ricketts and Vincelot as the 'marquee' signings, so decided defence and midfield have needed the time to bond more than the forwards.

Time will tell if that's right or not, but currently I'm reminded of the times keeping Morrison / McKenzie / King etc hanging around until the last minute for decisions, and those seasons tended not to pan out beautifully as the hanging around was symptomatic of an unwillingness/inability to build the foundations from the start, so the club was always playing catch-up.

Maybe this season will be he exception to prove the rule.

Maybe.

TM could have chosen to ignore the loan market altogether and bring in the best available frees in June and get them gelled as a team. He chosen instead to wait for a little more quality, and wait you have to at our level to get those loans. Which would you prefer?

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

A central midfielder who can play centre half. Just what we needed.

Well we are always moaning about shit Fleck is, Morris and Vincelot in central midfield could be a good partnership (not that I've seen him play but as I say we are always moaning about how poor central midfield is)

He can also play on the wing anyway as he played there for Burton.

There has been quality proven leave strikers available on a free this summer, for example Leon Clarke and Andy Williams to name but two. We currently have Tudguy and 2x 18 year olds.

Some will see this as unleashing Fleck as our goal scoring goal making midfielder

It's just concerning given the lack of goals and attacking options we have. The season starts on Saturday.

Good signing, don't know what all the moaning is about. TM has acknowledged we need options up front so this is not an either or situation. But you sign players as and when the deal becomes available. TM knows what qualities and characteristics he wants and is prepared to wait for the right players rather than sign a clutch of players thrown at us from say Bournemouth.

leon Clarke has hardly played for 18 months let alone scored?
Williams probably out of our wage range?
Plus it's about getting the right characters as well as talented players. No point in signing players who are gonna jump ship for more money eg. Clarke.

Maddison, Lamieras, Swanson, JOB, Tudgay and Armstrong can all chip in with goals. Its obviously a weak area still but its not as if we are going into Saturday with a goalkeeper + 10 defenders.

 

[rupert_bear]

Tony Mowbray told us loud and clear what he was doing and how it would pan out, loans would not be coming in until close to the season start as the parent clubs sort their squads out and that's exactly whats happened, don't know how many loans we are allowed but i think there will be more, still think one will be Dominic Samuel as for another striker i suggest we watch this space.

They won't chip in with many, I would be surprised if there's 20 goals between them.

We just had Waggott moaning about ST sales, the need to balance the budget and we're 15% down on ST's, and we need to average 11k and money's tight.

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Delfouneso just signed a one year contract with Blackburn, guess we should have signed him because he's a striker.

 

[ajsccfc]

Mowbray's not only worked with him before, but thought enough of him to play him at 16. Sounds like a decent signing from that alone.

Don't be so ridiculous.

Although a loan will jump ship after a season regardless, as their parent club decides to either recall them or sell them if they do well... and not even with the compensation of a transfer fee.

I agree... but for whatever reason TM didn't fancy them or they didn't want to come. Let's see who comes in... maybe they will compare favorably to a journeyman with an attitude problem.

Let's not pretend it's a black & white, wait for later and you get better. Waiting last season, after all, got us an unfit Jackson, and Nouble...

In a general sense, it's symptomatic of a poorly run club to depend on loans as the problem is, come six months or a year's time you have to replace them, and not even with the compensation of a transfer fee. One could see it as evidence of the desperation for instant success that the players haven't been scouted and signed beforehand, and instead we scrabble around and hope to get lucky.

We might, we might get the blip, but we're playing the law of averages poorly.

I can understand your concerns about not having strikers in place yet. But I'm sure that's not from the want of trying to get them in earlier. Just because Vincelot signed earlier, surely it doesn't follow that he's the marquee signing? If anything, the delay tells us that we are hanging on for the better attack-minded players.

Look, I know it's not ideal but it's a non sequitur to assume because we signed a midfielder we ain't signing any strikers.

Based on what? Fair enough we've all seen Maddison, Swanson, JOB and Tudgay last season but for all we know Armstrong and Lamieras could score over 20 just between the two of them. Its a weak area we all acknowledge but it will only be for 3 or 4 games and there is still enough there to score a few goals and sneak a couple of wins in that time.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Wonder if Ben Mackay will rock up at Liverpool now?

I do however agree that if it means Fleck isn't an automatic pick however he waddles, this could well be no bad thing!

 

[vow]

This I agree with, Fleck needs a kick up the arse, more competition the better.........Strikers next!

And the ones we brought in early? How did they work out?

 

[FRY-CCFC]

Can we all please stop writing off Adam Armstrong as 'just an 18 year old'. The kid is the business.
