Popular opinion seems to include deadwood like Mendy, King, Benny, James, Ghezzal, Slimani etc. 2

Fox in the North Posted 6 August 2018 Posted 6 August 2018 Seems like he was trained in the Was school of defensive excellence. Bring him in.
Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 6 August 2018 Posted 6 August 2018 He didnt play yesterday so hopeful this is true.
MPH Posted 6 August 2018 Posted 6 August 2018 there are so many mind games in football today.... I think this could be a warning to Brentford or Mepham - we have other options so dont think we will go to high or to Mepham hand in a transfer request if you want to force a move... or it could be the other way round... maybe THEY were the warning to this guy and his club? I want players in, and i want friday to come. That is all.

He doesn't appear to have played at all this season either in the League or Champo, so assuming he might be injured? Edited 6 August 2018 by AjcW

I want players in, and i want friday to come. That is all. I don't think Brentford care, Mepham is obviously very highly rated by them. They have already turned down a Bournemouth offer and the lad has four years on his contract left and if they have ambitions of promotion then they'll want to keep him as his value looks like it's only going to go up. This lad sounds like a good alternative for us. A young centre half with huge potential to play a bit part for us this season is what the Doctor ordered.

Just wondering why Abrasive and the croatian journo are talking about him sitting out games when he's not played a game yet this season 1

Clever Fox Posted 6 August 2018 Posted 6 August 2018 Looks like he'd be a good signing. Very good in the air which is something we need, And know where the goal is. I just hope he can defend also, Then he'll be could be a future star for us.
STUHILL Posted 6 August 2018 Posted 6 August 2018 Seems a decent signing if we can pull it off. We need someone on the brink of being brilliant, so can come in when needed and do a job, but also at an age/level, where they aren't expecting to play every game right away. This ticks those boxes. Benkovic and a top winger before the window closes plus shifting some deadwood, and we have had a decent window. 3

StriderHiryu Posted 6 August 2018 Posted 6 August 2018 Decent signing. Hopefully it doesn’t mean the end of Maguire! Also would like to see Darnell Johnson get some games this season as he was good every time he played in preseason so hope this doesn’t block his progress. But having a good young understudy at CB is a no brainier so good we are looking at one.
