    Dunno what to make of this one, by all accounts he earned rave reviews all last season but on the 4 occasions I saw him he was nowhere near the standard of player we already have in that position IE josh scowen....

    Mantom & Moncur coming in to battle with Scowen & Hourihane for a place in midfield?

    Healthy competition and/or strength in depth.

    Think he's a decent player who could make the step up. Worth taking a chance in my opinion.

    Moncur isn't a central midfielder so he's not to cope with Hourihane.

    More Williams or Winnall

    Fair enough, Phil. Perhaps Bannigan might be a more accurate alternative than Moncur.

    Maybe. It's scowen or hourihane in that role for me. Scowen good with ball and feet and tuning with it. Hourihane can recycle very well.

    Is he not more of a Brownhill replacement?

    Mantom is a box to box midfielder, who scored 9 goals for Walsall last season.
    I suspect it is his goals that is gaining our attention.

    Me, too. However, we'll need strength in depth to cover these two lads for things like loss of form, injuries and suspensions. If the club don't feel the Academy lads are capable of making the step up just yet, then I trust them to bring in the quality required.

    Is it just me that thinks Ryan Williams is gonna come back fully fit and win the Championship player of the year whilst we go up in the play-off final against Wednesday with him scoring a last minute winner? Ah right, just me then.

    Polymer gags. This forum has gone to ruin.

    After the season we've just had, I wouldn't rule that one out.
