Too much talent ...not enough of a clogger for the current Oldham Team, and if any transfer money is involved they need it!

Too much talent for the current team... not a clogger or hoofer type of player... hope you see him at his best as he's a lovely player to watch. Sure Gary Johnson will get the best out of him his son Lee Johnson did... player of the season that year, players player of the season as well. Since then suffered from numerous management changes who all brought their own cloggers in.

Hopefully we will hear some positive news at the presser this morning. This lad seems a little too good to be true really.

If this New Signing is confirmed, I shall definitely look forward to the "New Singing" about him on the Terrace.

We've bagged a good-un, just hope we get the signature asap.

Sounds like Oldham are in deep excreta.

Not the Oldham player that everyone expected then

Sounds promising if/when confirmed

Yeah, the same player. Or did you mean he's likely a better player than people expected?

Yes, I am wondering when this one (and the other one GJ hoped to be in for Saturday) will be announced. This lad sounds promising but I think a few of us were expecting a tough tackling midfielder to come in rather than a creative one.

Once the mole leaked Oldham were letting him go and the player was set to leave, agents from a higher positioned club with more money may have swooped.

Let us see if it is announced this week, or in February when Gary's list of deals scuppered by the mole is released.

He seems to be a pretty footballer without stamina.(Wrighty had problem with stamina before his diet was changed) ?

I don't think you can be Supporters and Players Player of the year by just being pretty or lacking stamina.

Yes, Wright was discovered to have a gluten allergy when we signed him.

I have a couple of friends who have STs at Gateshead, and they could not believe the transformation. His face shape especially, and also his torso, were much leaner and thinner than when he was at the Heed. He was a bit of joke figure there for his weight and lack of pace and mobility.

Oldham have just announced they've sacked their manager and brought in John Sheridan to replace him...wonder if that will affect the deal?

Hopefully his arrival well lessen the impact of Pell missing for a couple of games

It's a good move for Amari. Personally never thought he looked the part even last season. He showed the odd glimpse, but not enough to hold down a L2 place or dare I say it a conference wining team? Good luck to him, he persevered with 15 min spells for us

Reading the Oldham forum, it seems he's a bit marmite but the general consensus is he will a) find it easy down in League 2 and b) being coached by Gary Johnson will get the best out of him.

Hope so. And hope he is not marmite or else there will be people on here moaning on about boo-boys.

Hopefully nothing, if he's an attacking midfielder as described this is competition for Munns and Dayton.

As per last season, Munns can't play home games in the second half of the season due to the pitch.

According the James Young's piece in the Echo tonight,
http://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/ch ... story.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The squad now stands at 24, but this includes
Rhys Lovett, Jordan Lymn (both out on loan, but can be recalled), Adam Page (long term injury) and Matt Bower (liable to go out on loan to non-league)

I would be very surprised if any of the other 20/21 (depending on whether the final club is added to the bag) fails to make the field between now and the end of the season

For the record, the 20:
Scott Brown, Calum Kitscha; Jack Barthram, Jordan Cranston, Alex Pike; Aaron Downes, Will Boyle, Emmanuel Onariase, Dan O'Shaughnessy; Kyle Storer, Harry Pell, Jack Munns, Asa Hall, James Rowe, James Dayton, Carl Winchester; Danny Wright, Dan Holman, Billy Waters, Diego de Girolamo

RCS - I do hope your optimism is realised. I'll let you know after to-days game when I hope to see our 'new squad' in action for the first time.

Now now, no negativity allowed in these parts. Please repeat.... we have now got a team of world beaters (even though we have yet to see some of them in anger). Hope we do, but time will tell
