CheddarReds Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Apparently City are interested in him. 22 year old from Cheltenham. Apparently likes to sit deep and pull the strings. 50 games 7 goals 7 assits this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob k Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Would be a very good signing I think, signings like this would genuinely excite me and make me wish away June & July!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young, stand out player for Cheltenham, made the League Two Team of the Season for the past two years, good on the ball, takes set-pieces, he's exactly the type of player we should be looking to sign!

Rich-TWSC- Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Swindon agreed terms with Pack a few months back but the FL wouldn't sanction it as we were in the process of being taken over. He'll be a decent signing for most L1 sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcofisher Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Would be incredibly disappointed if we aren't making a move or at least looking at this player, 22, probably as good as our best midfielder Kelly. dominating the league below at an age where he can now step up a level and progress his game and eventually be playing for us in hopefully the championship, also pretty nearby in Cheltenham would help him settle in easy would enjoy playing for the club, if we aren't even looking at this player I will be disappointed.

David Brent Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 You two ever watched Pack live, outside of the playoffs last two seasons? I've seen him a couple of times. I'd say he was a tad overrated too. Decent FK on him though. Not saying he couldn't do a job for us now but he didn't look championship standard when I saw him. He appeared to struggle when put under a bit of pressure. He had some class when time on the ball though. Like I said though, I've only seen him couple of times.

Harry Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Personally think he is over rated Not at all. No one is suggesting he's a premiership class player but he's certainly good enough for L1 and judging by the fact Bournemouth are interested would suggest Howe thinks he's good enough for the Champ. Personally I've seen him play 8 times in the last year and I appreciate the job he does in what is a pretty poor team. He's been the stand out CM in L2 for 2 years. Surround him with better players than the woeful Mohamed, brainless McGlashan and headless Penn and you'll find yourself a very good player. How many times have you watched him fella and why do you think he's overrated? What's his strengths and weaknesses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because people talk about him as if he is frank lampard He doesn't score many he just reminds me of marvin Elliott of 2 years ago, He is no better then Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prestbury c of c Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 He's an average player.dear o dear why are we now looking at div 4 players not fed up championship ones-big struggle ahead i fear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcherryberry Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Yes 6 or 7 times he played well in 2 of those games He is no better then what we already have Ive watched him many more times than that & think the complete opposite to you. Although no world beater Pack got more talent on and off the ball than any of our central midfielders have. He ticks all the boxes for me. Liam Sercombe aside you wont find a better cheaper CM in L2.

Puckle_red Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 He always looks like he's carrying a bit to me and struggles under pressure, seems to be a bit of a poser without much end product...but I'd be interested to see him.

Harry Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Because people talk about him as if he is frank lampard He doesn't score many he just reminds me of marvin Elliott of 2 years ago, He is no better then Kelly Well I've never read anything that suggest he's Lampard? As for Elliot of 2 years ago - you are joking aren't you? Pack is a player with a helluva lot of ability with the ball at his feet and picks passes - Elliot can't pass 5 yards? Pack plays deep, shields the back 4, puts his tackles and headers in, as well as having composure on the ball, chips in with goals and assists and is pretty much the fulcrum of anything that Cheltenham do - hence his team of the year accolade 2 years running (i.e. the opposition players voted him one of the 2 best CM's in the division for 2 years). Kelly is a different type of CM, so I'm not going to even start to compare those 2. My personal opinion, having watched him plenty of times, is that he is more than good enough for L1 football, and is still developing, so could improve further. He will also naturally become a better player if he's surrounded by other players who actually manage to pass HIM the ball - Chelts don't seem capable of doing this and any time Pack gets the ball it's through his own endeavour or positioning, as opposed to being played it by a team mate! As others have mentioned, I fail to see why City aren't interested as he's on the doorstep and he's free. No relocation costs for the player himself either, so makes sense for both parties.
