Another central midfielder!

Evo1883 · Mar 20, 2015

Hope he can recapture his old form at watford , worth taking a chance with him imo

duffer · Mar 20, 2015

For God's sake, haven't we got enough midfielders in the squad now. I demand another striker.

LJC_CCFC · Mar 20, 2015

We are light in central midfield and with the calibre of player in this league, who's to say he couldn't make the step up. As long as he can run, tackle and pass, he's a welcome addition.

We're creating a Forest Green legends team.

You've got to think Mowbray is intent on hanging around. Bangura is a long term signing really.

he isnt exactly bigging him up

"even though he has been signed as cover, I want to see him force his way into the team."

Does that mean he has signed up until the end of the season then? :thinking about:

Says what you want about SP but why didn't he sign players like this?

TM actually realizes finch and Thomas are no where near the grade.

LB87ccfc · Mar 20, 2015

Hes hungry to prove himself and is a ball winner as proven in the U21 game, get him in, was very well thought off at Watford.

shmmeee · Mar 20, 2015

Good signing. Can we have a CB next?

StevieM · Mar 20, 2015

Feel sorry for Jack Finch, he is a young boy in a big mans game.
He could hopefully develop into a half decent footballer but I fear him being pushed into a struggling team could have done irrepairable damage to his confidence as a player.
If he had been paired with an "old" head to baby sit him, then he could have played the odd 30 minutes here and there whilst he developed both physically and also gain experience, but with us under SP not utilising our midfield effectively and having Finch run around the pitch holding hands with CT (or JF for that matter) hasn't helped him a jot.
Another one destined for non-league?

This lads story is incredible. Seems to be a real character.

On the basis he's shown literally zero technical ability, passing ability or any notable defensive or positional qualities, you could pair him with Gennaro Gattuso and it wouldn't make a difference.

Worth a watch, hope he does well.

Evo1883 · Mar 20, 2015

Just read online that forest green basically got rid of bangura and stokes after him because of their wages .
yeovil refused to MATCH what forest green were paying stokes and by all accounts their wage bill is 1.8 million .
if thats true that is a huge amount for a club lying 6th in the conference

They have wealthy backers, was midtable at one point which was being seen as a complete disaster, Eastleigh in that league also have wealthy backers and have spent a fortune for that level.

Obsessed with Baker. He's gone. Get over it.

Just need james Norwood now! He's a class player and would do really well at this level!

What's the book called

ccfcway · Mar 20, 2015

a sign of the times that a thread about a new signing hasnt even reached a 2nd page yet.

ptr · Mar 20, 2015

Watford rated him helped them get to the PL. Give this lad a chance as it's already been stated doesn't take much to look even half decent in this league. Much prefer Dave Hockaday having a big say on signings rather than Waggott, players that have to fight for a chance to get back in the game full time will put much more of a shift in than players who have been sent here by clubs that want rid of them (williams, proschwitz, list goes on)

Norwood would be a good signing or even Yan Klukowski , never saw Bangura play that well for FGR.

Johhny Blue · Mar 20, 2015

He would make for some good songs though. Any takers?

A fan walks down the street
He says why are we so soft in the middle now
Why are we soft in the middle
The rest of the season is so hard
I need a photo-opportunity
I want a shot at promotion
Don't want to end up in league two
In the league two graveyard
Bangura Bangura

If you be our midfield man
We will be your long lost pal
We can call you Bangy
And Bangy when your at CCFC
We will call you Al.......

Nick · Mar 20, 2015

So he will be on the bench instead of Finch.

I wonder where Barton will come into it now JOB is back?

TheParsonsHose · Mar 20, 2015

Must be a hungry for success to drop down like he has and to work his way back up again.

Reading between the lines, I think Mowbray sees his potential and is protecting him a little bit. What will hold him back is his fitness levels....but Mowbray is canny enough to offer encouragement, yes you are cover but could with work and application force your way into the team.

Possibly a useful signing and one that may have potentially more longevity for city than Grant.

ccfcway · Mar 20, 2015

who is grant ?

Ward, centre midfield I assume.

I know it's a foreign concept to CCFC fans. But I understand some teams have more than one player challenging for a midfield spot.
