Wikipedia says he’s signed

[Fylde Seasider]

Were being linked with alot of wingers right now, surely this is a sign that we're moving away from 3-5-2.

Well CJ is a winger who plays every week in Critchley's wanky set-up?

 

[Micky Walsh]

This sounds a little like Bowler. Great at youth level, loads expected of him, lost his way and needed to go somewhere to have his confidence built. Let's hope it works out the same.

Bowler had a bit of physicality about him and very upright in the way he attacks, this lad is different, is diminutive, has great balance and a low centre of gravity, he probs didn't fit into the first team picture at Celtic as he was too much of a maverick and didn't keep possession well (he takes risks) and doesn't track back, no fan there was happy to see him go. Not sure why he left, maybe his head got turned.

 

[Albert Ross]

Maybe we should start with 11 players?

When posting the playing configuration, no one repeat, no one includes the goalie. Have you not noticed.

But you've got 10-0-0-0

That's 4 banks of players. It's usually 4-4-2 or 5-3-2

I put an extra bank on in case one disobeyed instructions and strayed forwards. And what about 4231 or 5221 or 3421?

He left apparently as thought he was ready for the first team then, a little cocky perhaps but bring it on, Blackpool needs at least one maverick in the team.

 

[Tangerine Manc]

Just wondering if this the type of player pool will help us , but he would suit a 433 , small , pace and tricky

We've already got CJ.

We could be the club he lands at, maybe agents turned is head, but for me if he can show his potential then a fantastic and what fans were asking for an out of the box signing.

 

[Ollygon]

He could organise the karaoke.

 

[Chishandfips]

Can we have this as the chant ..

 

[basilexile]

Hope this is the end of the link with Kirk and not Longman. Can’t see us going for all 3. 2 would be nice.

And then a striker. And a LWB

if we are getting wingers, do we need a LWB?

 

[Nigel517]

Probably the best signal that Critch is thinking of a formation change, this lad is a pure out and out winger.

Made several Ligue 1 appearances as an impact sub so should be more than good enough for this division.

Like some others I've watched several clips from his recent appearances with Brest. To be honest I saw nothing that really excited me. Didn't give the ball away much which was good. Yes he ran at people, but never got past more than one. Small but strong for his size. Looked a long way off Bowler , who could take several on and finish and was bigger and stronger.
I know he is only 20 and obviously will mature and improve. Its only my opinion , but he is not the winger we need at the moment . I pray Im wrong.

Hmm. But that would be playing in France's top league though. We've never seen Bowler play above championship have we?

Get the whole lot. Stack ‘em in the stand Wigan are attacking in the first half and switch them for the second half.
Might just throw them off?

Sounds like Poveda , worrying

Karamoko knew the place to go

Quote from a Celtic supporting mate:

"He thinks he's Messi, stinking attitude"

Wonderful

 

[tangible]

Bloody 'ell! I've just seen one of his videos. He's like Wes on speed.

 

[Tiptank]

Karamoke,is he a winger or a singer?

 

[Billybigbananas]

From the videos he looks fun but I didn’t see much end product

 

[Graves]

I said the same about Bowler when I first saw him. All dribble and tricks but can’t finish… but then he learned to finish.

 

[Colmanballs]

Interesting read from The Athletic last year.

 

[tarantula]

Rhodes cup tied, Lavery injured, Beesley not doing much, how does 10-0-0-0 sound.

Is that the formation you'd perhaps like to see, AR, or the absolute annihilation you expect to see us suffer?

Cos lets face it, after the debacle versus Wolves, I don't think anything can be ruled out ...

That’s the formation we are slowly heading towards.

And didn't he 'finish' heading off to Greece?

For all its failings, I suppose it does occasionally have the capacity to 'shine' some light on developments we might not otherwise get to hear about ...

 

[look.its.luke]

The type of signing we should be making, to be fair. If it clicks...he becomes a £5million player. At least it's a bit exciting.

 

[Macseasider]

Very much a possible Bowler as someone else posted.

 

[AngelBFC]

We definately need someone to get us off our seats and create something for Lavery and Rhodes. He could be the man.

 

[Phil_bfc deux]

This lad wants to impress granted he cou

 

[we_need_a_bob_hatton]

Apter on the left...Dembele on the right...feeding the wily old fox Rhodes in the middle....then I woke up

 

[Torycorner]

On the face of it, doesn't look the worst of signings, but once again it's a loan.

When are we actually going to sign some attacking talent on a permanent basis?!

We will be in the exact same position next summer with just Joseph, Beesley, Lavery, CJ and Dale on the books in forward positions (and it's debatable as to whether 3 of those 5 are even good enough at this level, let alone if we were to somehow gain promotion).

I’ll give the board some credit!

From two weeks ago when it was blatantly obvious we didn’t have striking options we have since brought 3 players in one being Jordan Rhodes.

FFS……let’s give Sadler & Critchley a chance to deliver something from now but…..I 100% agree about 4 NOT 3 at the back, scrapping the wingback option

 

[Graves]

And didn't he 'finish' heading off to Greece?

I’m meant that he scored some great goals for us during his purple patch. Unfortunately heading off to Greece seemed to derail his form.
