I suspect Reid might occupy that role in the meantime when fit, assuming MM doesn’t bring someone in. He’s best we’ve got at running the channels and has a decent scoring rate. He’d use Fondop more away from home.

I’d give him a runout at Eastleigh 👍

You normally get a tune out of Reid until he nicks a goal then he stops playing. In his head it’s ’job done’ and he’s composing his next social media post - probably the best we’ve got in running the channels at the moment but that’s not saying much. Fondop a wrecking ball away from home and a fluffy Pom Pom at home. 
 

Said it for a while we need an Ollie Banks type  to compliment Norwood.

in true Latics style we signed probably the hottest young property in the lower divisions but could only secure him for three weeks and had to return early due to getting crocked.

 

Stones was the answer - hopefully lightning strikes twice in the same season’s transfer dealings…

Reid is injured according to MM.

If you mean Fondop I agree he should play at Eastleigh.

I know Banks wasn't liked by the majority of our support (personally I thought he was OK), but the bloke can pick a pass be ideal for someone like Norwood.

He's also at the level he'd excel at. We were in L1 when he was here which was probably a division above his pay grade.

All very quiet the rumour mill 

Unlikely. Seems the leaks have been plugged these days, probably will have to wait til any signing is announced!

Most signings are a gamble - but this one particularly so. Hardly played a game for Forest and made only made  11 appearances for Cheltenham in a 6 month loan. 
 

The article suggests he’s highly rated, the stats suggest otherwise. . 
 

He could really come into his own at a lower level, or he could just be shite. 
 

Let’s hope it’s the former.

11 league 1 appearances then…

 

How many appearances do you think our current midfield would get with a league 1 club?  I’ll take a wild guess at zero. 
 

Hopefully he’s decent and I don’t have to watch Gardner pointing and hiding any more.

I reckon he'll come in for McGahey, certainly competition in there now
