Should have got that Cosgrove - can't believe the likes of Stockport are out-bidding us.

 

He last played for the USA 4 years ago so he's an ex international. What there is to grumble about and a fact that hasn't changed is that the powers that be have after having had two transfer windows to sign a goal scoring striker didn't and once again are scrapping about at the end of a window making panic signings. Please don't try and make this anything more than what it is a panic signing made to try and appease a disgruntled fanbase and quieten a manager who feels he's been hung out to dry..I really hope he comes good I really do but it's a hope not an expectation.

 

I think you are thinking of Daisy Duke.
I know I am.

 

"Strong"......as in, falls over when an opposing player gets within 4' of him.

 

I'm not overly concerned about his lack of goals as odd as that sounds.

After thinking about it a little more, I see someone like him as being more of a catalyst to bring better performances out of other people. If he is a positive, front foot, pacey, take a man on winger/ striker then it will at least entertain the fans, speed up our play, get us moving a bit quicker up the pitch.

I hope he plays on Saturday, I think he could be a good addition.

 

Subject to clearance, so probably won't play Saturday

 

For sure - but there were plenty of Blues fans pointing that out when we signed him. Everybody still thought he was exactly what we needed.

 

How many do we have in first team squad now, it must be 30+.

 

Will fit right in here then as we usually have no end product

 

Maybe not but it shouldn’t be an issue that takes particularly long to sort, it’s just a player registration thing.

No work permit issue, he’ll have a British passport from when he was at Bradford and Farsley - or is entitled to one at least if not, with his mother being English.

It does smack a little of desperation though only giving him a five month deal; you’d think they’d at least have an option on him if they rated him.

 

The type of signing you wouldn't have been against in the first week of the transfer window

 

He was doing his fitness tests earlier at Oakwell, I usually go down every Thursday to play football with the mental health team.

He looked quite fast. I would say he's 5 ft 7 maybe a bit smaller. Personally I think he will play alongside DKD behind the striker

 

Remove “who likes to take on defenders” and you get Watters.

 

Because of the way we’re set up, a lot of times the only ball on for the wing back is a long ball forward into the channel (there should be more options than this but hey ho).

If he had genuine pace, then this should help us execute that ball more successfully, which would be an upgrade!

 

The winger/striker debate. What is/was Marley Watkins? Winger or striker?

 

Relatively fit - he hasn’t played a competitive match since November 24

 

Well at least he should be able to run at players rather than pass it backwards. Anything that brings a little more excitement to our forward line.

 

Welcome to Oakwell.

 

I think this is valid. The season is done. If you had the chance to sign a real ‘difference maker’ then fair enough. Adding someone just for numbers as this appears to be seems a bit hollow. Hopefully the lad smashes it though.
