BS30 Reds Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I've been so excited waiting for these 2 mystery signings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cottsciderarmy Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Both deals are done. Two players have agreed deals from July 1st. Whether the club announce them or not today is down to them but they have agreed to join. The club may wait until July 1st to unveil them as that is when Cotts returns. Given they have signed I see no reason to why the names can't be revealed. So you may have to wait a week or so to have it officially announced but we have signed James Tavernier on a free transfer from Wigan and Lawrie Wilson on a free transfer.

cottsciderarmy Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Who is Lawrie Wilson? Ex Charlton Defender/Midfielder who is left sided defender and also can play as a defensive and left sided midfielder. Spent end of last season on loan at Rotherham before being released by Charlton. Signed for us over Rotherham, Birmingham and Sheffield United who all made contract offers. Two year deal. He is 27 and is a versatile player.

cottsciderarmy Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Definitely plays on the left or central. He looks like a good cover player in that he can play in a number of positions. He looks like an upgrade of Scott Wagstaff if anything and will add cover at the back and cover for Korey Smith in midfield and add valuable experience to the side and ironically played with Luke Freeman at Stevange briefly when Luke was on loan in the 2011-2012 League Two promotion season.

He is 27 and is a versatile player. The words of Steve Evans who had him on loan at Rotherham...... "He can play right-back, right side of midfield, central midfield and right-sided centre-half, but predominantly he is a right-sided midfielder."

Wilbrahamovic Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Used to know Lawrie Wilson, he was at Millfield with my brother. Unfortunately they haven't kept in touch so can't ask for inside info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cottsciderarmy Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Now I really hope you are wrong! Why ? Both will be respectable signings at this level and add something to the team we already have. I have a feeling too many fans are unrealistic in the type of players we will sign. It's like people expect A Listers on x many thousands a week ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Wasn't overly impressed with tavs when he was here. Didn't see anything from him to make me think he could be a decent championship player. Recall Wilson a little from his Charlton days, albeit through snippets. Wasn't overly impressed with him either. As someone has said previously, we should be looking to bring in quality additions who will challenge for first team places and make the ones who we adored last season squad players. Don't sign players 'as cover'. Sign people who will come in and make a difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tavs was excellent for us at the back end of the season when he had a decent run of games. A big improvement on Little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I am sure your right, but Wiki says hes a right back....That would make 2 right backs...Is little off? That's the rightsided Lawrie Wilson we've obviously bought the left sided continental version . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tavs was excellent for us at the back end of the season when he had a decent run of games. A big improvement on Little. Excellent is a massive overstatement! He done ok once promotion had been wrapped up. There is no way he would play over Little, which is the point people try to make. Sign players to improve the squad. Loans can be used as cover.

Betty Swallocks Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 I don't agree he was an improvement on Little but thought he did well for the last games . Tavs has got more about him that Little. Little would easily get found out in the Championship. There's only so many times you can kick the ball 5 yards in front of you and just running.

I've seen Charlton play a few times, he's a RB. So unless Wagstaff or Little are leaving then it's a very strange signing. Underwhelmed by this one.
