BRISTOL86 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 If good players that can add to the squad become available you have to act while you can. Good signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hope he does well. Bit worrying that it's another one of SOD's old boy network and it pushes Wynter even further down the pecking order. It's Burt's network as much as it is SODs. Wynter is still young and very inexperienced, I'm sure his time will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderbeans Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 yes, however, wynter signed for us on the basis he would get first team. hence why he turned down re-signing for arsenal. So far, first team football has fallen short for him for reasons only SOD knows besides his injury. It does frustrate me however that we have a good player in him coming back from injury hoping to get a place back and we sign an unneccessary midfielder when we have plenty of them already. It just hinders the progression of certain players. That being said, now we have signed him on loan, I do hope he helps our form and aids us to numerous victories.

ciderbeans Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 The 'network' runs as far as nottingham by the looks of it. Will be interesting to see if carlos anton's spainish links actually brings us any spanish players for the first team.... Hes not a scout but he must have some influence on some youth players out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynriley Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Perhaps Wynter isn't quite back to fitness yet? I'd say it is Pack who'd more at risk here anyway. I'm not going to complain about adding a little experience into the engine room to help us till Jan. Not so sure about that. Given Gilletts size, I'd say Bobby Reids place is probably most in jeapordy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask you this....would you mind if the scouting set up went to Nottingham for lascelles!? I think Gillett is a different type of player to Wynter. I am sure Wynter will still get a shot at it soon fella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 hope its not turned into a permanent. hes old, a journeyman and hasnt done anything of great significance in his career. we have better players. I though the recruitment policy was that if we were to sign older player, they have to be an exception and better than what we currently have. I don't see that with this signing.

!james Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 So erm, checked this from a Florist Forum Erm, not many games for his age, plenty of loans all over the shop and same kinda position as Wynter and Pack... Kilkenny... Er thought we werent signing 'favourites', with O'Connor, Maloney. McLaughlin and now Gillett. All the hallmarks of a GJ dynasty stuff, which I thought we were getting away from Bizarre stuff, let's see how he does A few more quotes from the Forest forums just to balance things up a bit: Was excellent again on Tuesday night. Never panicked on the ball. Always looking for a red shirt to pass to when in possession and tries to press and harass the opposition when not on the ball. Like McKenna sometimes all he gets is a toe on the ball. Fast becoming one of my favourite players. Love the way he plays. I smile to myself whenever he challenges for a header, because it just doesn't look normal, but he wins a few to be fair. He gets about and gives nobody time to rest on the ball. Like him a lot. He was excellent last night. Like McKenna used to do, late on in the games he was pressing and nipping in front of opponents to take the ball off them or force them to play it where they don't want to, I love to see that Cracking little player. Shows great heart, likes a tackle and is surprisingly solid in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the hallmarks of a GJ dynasty stuff, which I thought we were getting away from The period when GJ signed players he already knew was great. It was when he had to turn to players he didn't know that things went wrong. Besides which, it's still early days for the new setup and if you're the manager and a player you already know will add something to the team becomes available surely you'd be daft to turn it down on the grounds that you already know him?

ciderbeans Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I was going to mention lascelles Taylor10 but having mentioned him so many times already and knowing it wont happen, I thought I would leave his name out.

He's 27...!?!! and has a couple of promotions and FL trophy wins on his CV. He is joining us from a big club in a higher division than us and the manager knows him well. Decent signing imo and low risk as it's only a loan deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southvillekiddy Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 passes the ball accurately without any fuss and puts his foot in.

BCFC_Dan Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Yeah but it's not keeping with the 5 pillars is it? We are shunning youth and development for SOD's previous players who are getting on a bit in general, see O'Connor, James. So much for progress. He may be great, he may fit into the system really well and give us all the things we needed since Cisse sat there, however, it's all a bit, er, desperate to re capture lightening in a bottle. Last throw of the dice? The recruitment strategy doesn't say "don't sign experienced players"; it says "don't pay over the odds for experienced players". This is a short term loan and if it leads to a permanent signing I imagine it'd be a free transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
