Dan Gleebals Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Typical uninspiring signing from the rabble running us into the ground. Not played for months, no form and we expect him to help keep us up in a position which was not a priority. Hard to feel any excitement about this. Another cheapskate gamble by the fat controller Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoppaz Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Was deffo in the Vermont on Christmas Day. Hopefully Stifler will accept it now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-more Mag Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I heard his best position is ScrumMaster. Can anyone confirm? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Please we signed someone of attacking intent. It's a waste of money if we don't buy a proven striker to get the goals though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Still need a Striker, LB and CB though. I accepted the fact we wont get any defenders but someone that WILL finish chances is the difference between championship and premiership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A striker sees us have a good chance of staying up. Then reshape the defence in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I'm pleased with this. He may well turn out to be McClaren's best signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 "Andros is a winger with an old-fashioned style. He can play on the right or the left, is two-footed, quick, very direct and loves taking on defenders and crossing the ball." Old fashioned? Can cross a ball? Fuck me.

STM Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Forum seems pretty split on him. I reckon a vote outside here would see it more like 70/30 in favour of the move, that wouldn't necessarily be right though. I think there is a healthy amount of reservation about him but he is young, quick and happy. Good luck to the lad, he will need it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Why haven't we bought a left back? We've needed one for longer than I can remember. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Why haven't we bought a left back? We've needed one for longer than I can remember. Because we have 2 and its not deemed an important enough position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I don't see how you can make a statement like 'he can't cross'. He's not had a run of games with the instruction to cross the ball regularly in probably 3 / 4 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gleebals Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Add that to the fact that we do not play and old fashioned winger formation and his stupid quote makes even less sence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Add that to the fact that we do not play and old fashioned winger formation and his stupid quote makes even less sence. I reckon we plan to like. I'm expecting 4-4-1-1 from this point forward. Shout at Sissoko until he accepts he's a winger, Andros on the left, Gini behind Mitro.

Holloway Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 You have to take into consideration the general wrist slashing gimpness of this forum to cloud the positives of signing someone with a bit of pace,two good feet and a decent shot on him. Spuds fans don't like him? So fucking what, cuts in and shoots too much? so fucking what Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I hope he does extremely well and that it's one of those moves that just clicks. Unfortunately we need it to. If we'd also secured a striker and a left back I'd be way more optimistic. ( ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I think the quality of the midfield has improved. But it's a whole new midfield in January. Difficult time to develop 'velocity' in Agile talk. That doesn't even make sense. It's difficult to create velocity if a team has core members changed mid-sprint or even mid project. What's difficult to understand? What the fuck are you on about? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Stop crying. Point stands. Big changes to a team mid season isn't ideal. I would've left a wide player until summer and gotten a striker instead. Every new addition makes it harder for them to hit the ground running as a group.
