New loan signing confirmed... Jaden Philogene
-
Re: New loan signing...
Never heard of him, but seems to be a winger who scored v Swansea last year while on loan at Stoke.
-
Re: New loan signing...
Left winger, not going to be short in that position!
Any more goalies incoming?
-
Re: New loan signing...
Another winger? Really? Is that where we're short?
-
Re: New loan signing...
Not a striker. Is Morison about to unveil the revolutionary 0 up top tactic on Saturday?
-
Re: New loan signing...
Seems to be really highly rated. Looking forward to seeing this lad.
Just wish we could get a couple of strikers.
-
Re: New loan signing...
PSG, Barcelona and Dortmund were after him as a kid according to his Wikipedia page - seems to be a talented young kid.

Re: New loan signing...
False number 9 stylee innit!
-
Re: New loan signing...
I think we can possibly see that we won’t be utilising a traditional style striker with this signing? Front three combination with rotation of players and positions?
-
Re: New loan signing...
I was on the fence about whether to get excited about Saturday.

We're going to win 4-0

Re: New loan signing...
People moaning, just because he has signed doesn't mean we are not going to sign a striker, it's a long season, good to see competition.
Welcome Jaden, hope you smash it 👍

Not moaning here. Very much intrigued by how we are going to utilise these forwards

Ummmm.... Nobody moaning?
Think we're all just wondering where the strikers are and rightfully so, we need two.
I'd happily take Hugill back at this point, at least he gives us something up top. At the moment, we have f@ck all!

5 subs next season. It does look like we are going for a high press. I expect Morison to make a lot of use of the bench.

Yep, good point. Lots of pacey options to work against tired defenders.

Re: New loan signing...
any grainy YouTube footage yet?

We need a physical presence though, and we don't have one. If we're to play 3 up top, we need physical presence to spearhead that 3.
Watters strikes me as an "off the shoulder" striker, better suited to a 4-4-2 in the way Chops worked off Bothroyd.
Harris doesn't cut it for me, league 1 material.

Would he have been at Aston Villa Academy when David Hughes headed it up? Might that be the link?

I hope he’s considered the possibility that the other team may replace them with not so tired defenders.

What I’d give for the prime front three of Chopra, Bothroyd & McCormack…

Agree with this apart from Harris being L1. I honestly can’t say what Harris is in this squad.

Now that would have been a front 3...
Not entirely sure Chops and McCormack could have played that system mind, but I'd have a go with that!

Do me a favour, nobody moaning? Your first post following news of a new signing was a winge we had signed a winger followed up by trying to be funny about signing more goalkeepers. The post below yours was another moan about signing a winger.
I do agree of course we need to add more up top but to have a go because we have signed players "in the wrong order' is daft, I'm pretty sure that's not us done in the transfer market
