That's what I asked... I said hyam, somebody said McCallum. There's been many Charlie Wakefields and allesannisNo 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
We probably make more from one Sky game than this deal will have cost us wages and all.Because we don't have much money?
Could be True, we don't actually know that though do weWe probably make more from one Sky game than this deal will have cost us wages and all.
Depends how good he is. If Bapaga is he is infront of himWhere do people put this new lad ?
Ahead of Bapaga who’s 18 ?
New lads 20 surely he should be ahead of bapaga ?
Was just about to post similar, Wilson was 20 when he started kicking on wasn't heIt's development. The fee will be nominal. Remember the days well when most of us would've said Callum Wilson wouldn't be a league player at a similar age.
Fair pointYes, if I am correct, Callum Wilson went on loan to Kettering town, and then Tamworth at that age, and came back age 20 with the grand total of 20 appearances, scoring 2 goals.
You can add Westbrooke as well and Drysdale has at least made it to the fringes of the team.That's what I asked... I said hyam, somebody said McCallum. There's been many Charlie Wakefields and allesannis
I dont think we've been that successful bringing in older teens for development and getting them into 1st team football over the last 5 years... Jodi Jones, hyam and McCallum... Not much else though
Where do people put this new lad ?

Both look wingers to me mark only based on short clips I’ve seen thoDifferent position I think.
Yep, made this point earlier. Probably ahead of where Callum Wilson was at the same age in terms of league football experience. Let's see how he gets on.
Otis has said eleventy billionHow much have we paid for this lad?
tbf, if we can get excited because of some carefully edited together 'highlights', we can be apathetic because fans of previous clubs aren't self-immolating because he's going.Let's just put him in the bomb squad already then
Jesus fucking Christ, are all fan bases as negative as ours or do we just have a special breed in sky blue
Both look wingers to me mark only based on short clips I’ve seen tho
Maybe we will see him make the squad tomorrow ?He's an out and out striker, but has been used as a right winger by Rochdale. Don't think he'd fit the big lump up front mould for them.
And then he scores, and then I get tagged and abused pffffft no thanksMaybe we will see him make the squad tomorrow ?

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

Saving that oneHe may be fine but seriously why is it even worth talking about - there is a 90% chance he will never even feature in the first team
It’s Martin Lane mark 2
James less weird now Györkeres is here and we’re playing 433. Though still keeping Sheaf out, weird from a squad building perspective.
This is a guy who hasn’t managed to break into the Rochdale side and by all accounts has looked pretty poor when he’s been on and is the wrong side of 20. It’s weird from a development signing perspective.
What's wrong with being underwhelmed, not seeing why he's been signed, but hoping he'll be a pleasant surprise?Surely we give him a chance before any apathy sets in, I mean I'd understand it if we had paid a mil but it's likely to be a very small fee for a developmental player not someone who is expected to fire us away from relagation
What's wrong with being underwhelmed, not seeing why he's been signed, but hoping he'll be a pleasant surprise?
If we're going to have to group-cum over every signing, we'll have nothing to talk about!
Who knows it's a punt by the recruitment staff, just a punt the club might get lucky.
Why did we sign him we should have gone for someone proven like Gnanduillet or Grigg. Damn the club signing players for cheap who are young and unknown. Every signing must be ready made for the first team. Regardless of what they cost
It was a bit of a guess, but I won't be far out.Otis has said eleventy billion
Who would you have signed instead GIt’s pathetic and frankly it’s about time we campaigned to get this idiots who own the club gone
More goals in the English top flight than our entire squad combined?Paul Culpin
I can say that the signing doesn't inspire me at all... Which is basically what I've said.
