Jensen Weir

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.

A left-sided centre-half and a forward alternative would be ideal.
 
Our midfield is looking stacked now.

Weir, Carey and Morgan fighting it out for those two attacking midfield positions with Norburn behind, sounds pretty ** tasty to me :)

Beesley and Lavs in the goals, Joseph getting minutes, things are looking good!

For me, we just need one more forward and then our squad looks excellent.

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.

End of the season??! If he’s not starting games soon I think Brighton will be recalling him - or did you mean Morgan?
 
Looks a great signing and looks a player on clips in this League.

Hope he’s a star.

Couple more in please and we are looking very good.

Nobody will replace anybody. Critch will pick what he sees as the appropriate 18 for each match.

Sure this is a replacement, Critch will rotate of course, but there will definitely be players who will start and play more than others.

Weir is too good to just be a rotational piece and Brighton will expect him to start the majority of matches for his develop.

So I don’t think it’s ridiculous to think that he will take significant minutes away from and “replace” another player in the squad.

OK. We'll see.

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…

He won’t. Good signing but Morgan and Carey will be regulars, he will get his chance but he isn’t going to play every game, may play just behind Lavery

I doubt he will have come here unless we've made some gaurentees about playing time. Not with 4/5 other clubs in for him, he could have gone to Derby or Reading and started every game. If we had bought him then I would see you point more, but I think he will be starting most games for us.

Agree with this. Pompey and Wigan both in for him as well. Morgan and Carey may rotate but I think he will be the main attacking MF for us this season, unless he's terrible for us which is unlikely, but still a possibility.
 
He also had more goal and assist than Morgan in this league last season for a far worse team. Logic says he will start ahead of Carey and Morgan, but this is Critchley we are talking about, anything can happen.
 
I'm amazed that so many are willing/jumping at the chance to drop Carey, when we've seen Morgan once in the league for us, and we haven't even seen Weir yet. I mean, if we'd only seen Carey once and it was his performance against PNE last season at home, then we'd all be saying how good he is.
I think we ought to see what Weir and Morgan are like before we start giving them starts over a more established, championship experienced player.

I'm not saying drop Carey, I just think Weir wouldn't be here if he wasn't going to be a starter. I rate Carey higher than Morgan tbh, so think he's the one that could be on the bench more. However it's great to have some real competition in the squad. It can only lead to better performances.
 
What I am liking by signing Jenson is that he is another player who can score goals. I have banged on about this for the last few seasons. We need players throughout the team /squad who can contribute to a goal or two during the season. Which means if your strikers are having a lean spell, there are others to help out.

Yep, still payable. He could move internationally (including Scotland) for nothing though so BHA will be pushing a new contract hard I'd imagine.

Thought his dad was part of the management team at BHA, so not sure we will get the chance to sign him.
It is interesting as do we drop our own players to make way for him, which stifles the development of our own players?
Could Carey convert to be a forward?

Injuries, suspensions, loss of form, changes in tactics, we don't want 1 player for each position we now have Carey, Weir and Apter that can play behind a number 9, Joseph could probably do it as well. It's a good thing.

I like all the enthusiasm on this board but I must be missing something.
He was on loan at Morecambe last season and they got relegated. 🤷‍♂️

Do you actually ever watch football or are you just very negative. We got relegated from the Premier league did that mean all our players were 2nd rate!?
