Lew-T Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 This lad was the standout player for Swindon against us at AG a couple weeks back and Tuesday night, he scored a hat-trick in a 4-2 win over Rochdale. If Wade was to leave this summer, I would be keeping tabs on this guy as a replacement, only 22 years old. More reason for Swindon to stay down!

Barrs Court Red Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'd sign him just to troll Swindon. Would need to see a better end product if he was signed for the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fodbarmyarmy Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I would be surprised if any Swindon players would contemplate signing for us after the slagging off we have given their club / area / families / friends and so on.... All thoroughly deserved by the way..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingswood Village Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I said the same to my mate on the night - he was the best player for the pig towners by far. Let's face it, if we really want him he should come as regardless of what league we are in we are a step up From that shower of shite. go get him cotts.

Robin1988 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Only reservation I would have is going by how he played at AG I couldn't see him and Freeman playing in the same 11 without stifling one or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex#40 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I thought he was great against but Swindon fan in work says he's a bit hot and cold, playing well at the moment but has been pretty crap for long periods before. Maybe one for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcherryberry Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Him and Byrne please. Agreed. The two stand outs in their team for sure. Mad to think Ben Gladwin only got 40+ league games under his belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said before - could develop him into a player to play in front two Add Sam Clucas to that list for me 24 yrs old goal every 5 or 6 games from midfield - anyone see two of his finishes midweek - class Would fit our potential market / player type perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Orns Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Said straight after the Swindon game that Gladwin was head and shoulders above everyone on that pitch for a good hour or so that night Was everywhere, and got a bit of nastiness about him too Looks a hell of a prospect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cottsciderarmy Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Prefer Chris Eagles than him myself. Free agent, Championship quality and identical player to Wade but better and younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohbasso Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 IMO Kasim, Byrne and Gladwin would all be great additions to the squad for next season. Kasim would be a perfect partner for Korey in centre mid, Byrne would be great competition for Little and if jets off Gladwell can cover Freeman. And to top it off it would really piss off swindle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Prefer Chris Eagles than him myself. Free agent, Championship quality and identical player to Wade but better and younger. not for me eagles is almost 30 and the only two clubs intrested in him were blackpool and charlton, he would want big wages, Gadwin is 22 and has a hell of a lot more protential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Gladwin is an out and out attacking midfielder, to replace Wade we need someone who'll go box-to-box and control the midfield. In Swindon's midfield, Luongo or Kasim would fit the role better As for Byrne, he's like a shorter Little. Probably better on the ball than Mark, but can't defend (Bryan just ran straight past him several times in the 1st half) for toffee and isn't as physically powerful. We have better and could do better IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenBall Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Prefer Chris Eagles than him myself. Free agent, Championship quality and identical player to Wade but better and younger. A 29 year old who'll be demanding much more than Gladwin? Our whole new philosophy is to not buy players like Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_eastender Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 A 29 year old who'll be demanding much more than Gladwin? Our whole new philosophy is to not buy players like Eagles. spot on, would be very disappointed if go back to the bad old days of buying aged average players. Yes we might need some experience as Wilbs and to a lesser extent Wade have proved this year but the majority of our signings have to be players who could increase in value - only way of building a sustainable club that can challenge at the top. Let the clubs with big parachute payments waste their money on the likes of Eagles and other average journeymen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Wade was to leave this summer, I would be keeping tabs on this guy as a replacement, only 22 years old. More reason for Swindon to stay down! Good shout Lew. He is well worth looking at for sure. Judging by the way some of the younger players have come on this season under SC I have no doubt he would improve as well. Probably needs to add a bit to his end product but this would be a good bit of business for sure. I would also be sniffing around Byrne. He's a good player and would be able to provide competition and cover for both wing back positions. There is also the plus of pissing Swindon off by swooping for them.

Lrrr Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Instead of Byrne, wouldn't be surprised for us to try and sign Tavernier as competition for Little. Todd Kane is another decent shout though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cottsciderarmy Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 A 29 year old who'll be demanding much more than Gladwin? Our whole new philosophy is to not buy players like Eagles. How do you KNOW he would demand more than Gladwin. For your info, I was chatting to Chris Eagles at the De Vere Hotel in Starbucks having used the Gym in December and asked why he was playing at Blackpool, and he was clear in his thoughts of that he wants to play football and he was so relieved to be back playing again. Blackpool also had a 4K a week cap on players this year, so given he signed a short term deal, I doubt he'll be on anymore than 3-4K and reckon Gladwin's requests would be much higher than that. Don't forget Eagles has already played under Cotts and not all players are just after money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see Gladwin asking huge, he's only just started league football and being at Swindon they're hardly going to be paying him over the top. Depends if we see it as an investment down the line as well if we were to expect him to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 This talk of Swindle signings has really upset the multi-digitted masses on their forum......... Can't see how its so hard to imagine that a team who has been promoted could look at players from teams who finish near the top of the table should they not get promoted. They have some good players so should they not go up, they have to think that the promoted teams and some championship teams will be interested.
