LaticsSideOfLife Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Based on what? Because for one he is a midfielder, do we really need another midfielder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboafc Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Latics sign Reid , signed http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/article/20130325-reid-732544.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Because for one he is a midfielder, do we really need another midfielder? Wes close to 10 bookings and a ban (don't know if there's a cut-off date) - Johnson musn't think much of the other options on the books.

Just read that he can play anywhere across the midfield which is a good option to have. Johnson think's highly of Smith (Granted he is only here for the month). When does Obita's loan run out?

OAFC_Ryan Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I though I would post now it is confirmed as the majority on that thread were speculating it to be Aaron Mclean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfatjoe1 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Are we that strong in midfield? We lost 2 but only signed one. This gives us more depth. With the fixture congestion we need numbers. For that reason, i think we need another defender. We've only got two full-backs, three centre-backs+kid. Others can cover,but i'd still like to see an actual defender for the rest of the season.

NewBlue Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) A bit surprised by this move. I'm not really sure why he's come in as we seem to have a bit of depth in the centre of midfield with Mellor, Winchester, Wes and Simpson all having more experience than this lad. I'd be targeting a fast striker (if Dan Taylor isn't going to get a game) or a right-back. If this is a sign of things to come in terms of prioritising an unexperienced loanee ahead of 2 of our younger 2 CM it is a little worrying. However, if Reid doesn't really get a game then not to worry. Does anybody know what the difference between normal loan and youth loan is? I'm not really a fan of Mellor whatsoever but if Winchester is to be let go in the Summer I'd be very disappointed as he looks to be developing into a good player. Put a bit of weight on him and he'll make it. Edited March 25, 2013 by NewBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy55555 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Why would we sign him if he isnt going to get a game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshgaz Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 It baffles me that people think Mellor is up to it in midfield. He doesn't seem to be anywhere near fit enough from the snippets that I have seen off him, not sure he even gets a gig there for the ressies.

Gaz_Oafc Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Sounds like he'd be pushing for their first team if it wasn't for their league position (ala winchester). He looked good in pre-season and in the odd cameo from the bench according to brizzles forum and will most definitely be involved in their first team next season.

Put a bit of weight on him and he'll make it. Bottom line is that neither Mellor or Winchester are good enough for this division. What impact have they made since their debuts over 2 years ago , None. Don't tell me it's because they haven't had enough games, if they were good enough they would have had all the games they needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mellor had a great run at left back last season for around 15 games including motm televised Mk victory . Winchester has had some impressive games non more so than Liverpool only two months ago . No impact since two years ago ? Not at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't tell me it's because they haven't had enough games, if they were good enough they would have had all the games they needed. I agree, Mellor isn't good enough yet but Winchester looks like he's becoming a good centre-midfielder. Winchester has been good this season, especially against Liverpool and looks to have a future ahead of him. Mellor on the other hand probably suffered from his awful stint at left-back last season. No confidence gained from an unsuccessful spell and hardly any gametime this season looks to have stinted his growth as a player. Shame as he looked to be a good player a few years ago. Winchester looks like he's been improving and Mellor looks to have gone back a step, that is the difference between the 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a bit of weight on him and he'll make it. I'd go along with this, but short of making him play in lead boots he isn't going to do in the next few games! Hope we keep him on and work on his strength over the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
