Jensen Weir

[Bamberholic]

Revive the Jerry song but change the last line to "we're gonna go on the beer with Jensen Weir!!!"

 

[Critchknows]

As he’s a loan, one of our own players is going to be warming the bench if he comes good.

Ive no issue with that. If they want to get in the team, they need to improve. We're not an average player charity club. Shape up or ship out, the only way to be if you want success.

 

[Hockaday’s Quiff]

My 16 year old, who has some mad ‘Rainman’ style knowledge of practically every player in the UK, says he is the utter dogs bollocks, so that’ll do me!

Why have we let go of the Caicedo replacement ffs

 

[Matesrates]

It really sounds like we’ve got a goodun here

 

[AmericanTangerine]

I think one possibility is that he plays as a second striker/ No. 10 in the way Dale and Apter did in midweek

Critch also said he had “midfield capabilities” which would indicate he sees him playing a bit deeper.

Think he’ll replace Carey or Morgan IMO.

 

[glasshalffull]

21 already, does that mean he takes a squad place ? I presume it does 31/1/2002 DOB.

Rotation!! Long season 2 games a week injuries blah blah

I think its your age on the 1st January in the year you are signed.

 

[Blackpool-rocks]

He’s a great Interceptor I believe. If you know you know.

[voyeur]

Does he intercept the ball sometimes or summat?

 

[Lost Seasider]

Yep, so he should still squeak in as an U21.

 

[Towerpower99]

Looks alright !

Steady Birchy

 

[Born tangerine]

His dad is David Weir ex Ranger's, Everton and Scotland centre half.
Good pedigree

 

[TangerineDan]

Our midfield is really starting to look strong for this season!

We have far better midfield options than when we were in the Championship due to the long term injuries last season to Stewart and co.

 

[AngelBFC]

He looks very very good.

 

[Macseasider]

Can someone give AmericanTangerine one of his pills to calm him down please.

 

[Alf]

Yep, so he should still squeak in as an U21.

I think all loans count in the squad total regardless of age.

In other news he is the son of David Weir, so probably the extended vacation to Blackpool that swung it for them.

 

[poolseasider]

Thought loans count towards squad numbers even if they are under 21 they certainly did last season.

He must recently have signed a new contract at Brighton. He signed a 3 year deal with them in July 2020.

Enjoy him while he’s here, sounds a good ‘un.

 

[Towerpower99]

I think we have put a few other clubs noses out with this capture….get in.

 

[Dougz]

That's why we got Critchley back, people want to play for him.

Didn’t Arsenal say they would only loan Patino out because of Appleton ? Wonder if that was codswallop?

 

[Wilburrabbit]

Looks like preparing to sell Virtue to me.

 

[TKL_Seasider]

No, only in the Championship

Also David Weir is DoF at Brighton, so very much part of the family business!

 

[TKL_Seasider]

Why? How much u offering? Have u really got more money than Deadpool?

 

[poolseasider]

Well done Avftt for merging thread.
Is this a first and will you continue doing it?

 

[Towerpower99]

I’m going to start another one

 

[midfield general]

Always wanted a Jensen

Me too, and now we've got one.

 

[Roy Kent]

That's why we got Critchley back, people want to play for him.

Good point - makes a big difference in the EFL

 

[AmericanTangerine]

Can someone give AmericanTangerine one of his pills to calm him down please.

Apologies, hard not to be over the moon with this signing.

 

[TickTock]

He will replace Sonny Carey or Albie Morgan in the lineup and I am more than ok with that.

Eh?

 

[JJpool]

Damn, I was so close to some ITK info.

I thought there would be a Weir(d) signing.

1 letter off

 

[Wizaard]

Does he intercept the ball sometimes or summat?

If only that gag hadn't already been done twice

 

[I bleed Tangerine]

He must recently have signed a new contract at Brighton. He signed a 3 year deal with them in July 2020.

Enjoy him while he’s here, sounds a good ‘un.

A Brighton fan said they had the option of an extra year, so I wonder if they've just added that on.

 

[TKL_Seasider]

I’m going to start another one

Splittist!

 

[bill40]

Well done Avftt for merging thread.

Can they also merge all the button and intercepter gags only one is needed and that should be from me

 

[Ollygon]

He will replace Sonny Carey or Albie Morgan in the lineup and I am more than ok with that.

He apparently had Championship offers, but Brighton wanted him to get minutes on a promotion challenging side.

This is a massive coup…

Not Sonny.

He's looked to be one of our best players so far this season.

 

[AmericanTangerine]

Not Sonny.

He's looked to be one of our best players so far this season.

Then he’ll replace Albie Morgan then.

Critch does take time to bed players in so we might not see him start matches immediately, but I think by the end of the season he’ll be starting, too good of a player to not play from the beginning of matches.

 

[bollieboy]

A Brighton fan said they had the option of an extra year, so I wonder if they've just added that on.

Being U'24 compensation will have to be paid even if he turns down a new contract (provided it is no worse than current one) with BHA.

 

[Mike_BFC]

That's why we got Critchley back, people want to play for him.

every signing says the gaffer is a massive reason for choosing Blackpool

 

[Alf]

No, only in the Championship

Also David Weir is DoF at Brighton, so very much part of the family business!

Cheers I didn’t realise it was a Championship thing

 

[Dark_Side_of_the_Lune]

Any chance he takes free kicks as well?

 

[bfcpete]

More likely to swap with Carey

 

[Old_Laytonian]

He’s a great Interceptor I believe. If you know you know.

I trawled through the comments hoping no one had mentioned this.

 

[OhhhBarryBarry!]

I just hope he doesn't have a January recall option so they can send him to the Championship if he's doing well.

 

[Briggsysgonagetya]

I wonder who is going to lose his place to him

Carey

 

[TangerineArmy]

Does this mean brannigan ain't coming

 

[BFC_53]

I'm not sure it will be Carey, at least not always. I doubt Carey will be a bench regular this season. He'll rotate them I suspect, according to match schedule and opposition.

 

[AmericanTangerine]

Our midfield is hilariously good.

Norburn
Dougall
Trybull

Weir
Morgan

Carey
Virtue

7 players who are more than good enough for 3 positions, that is depth.

Only need a striker and maybe a CB (although Casey and Tharme looked decent on Tuesday) and we are good until January.
