    Ball carrying?
    Should have them in a bag.
    And remember to check them frequently chaps, for lumps bumps and anything that feels unfamiliar

    Disappointing that our first signing isn't a shoe in starter

    Reminds me of Graham Stuart in physique and style from those You Tube clips. 
    Will be interesting to see how he goes.

    Definitely a player that will fill Berry's role. We had to change shape a bit without Berry so this signing should cure that problem. 24, great age and still not in his prime.

    Out of contract because Blackpool didn’t want him or because we chased him earlier in the year?
    They offered him a "great deal" according to Steve Bruce. 
    £2,000 a week and unlimited rides on the Big One.

    So are we feeling this was a prearranged signing regardless of whether we were in L1 or Championship?

    Sounds like it. Maybe the terms would have been different if we didn’t get promoted.

    Never heard of him.

    More concerned with the hoodie. If that is the best Reebok can come up with then I dread to think what else we are going to see.

    Ok, thanks.  so it’s at a salary level we would have been comfortable paying in L1

    You'll have to ask Methven questions like that! I'm sure he will answer them.

    No idea but presumably it's more than he was on at Blackpool.

    Money grabbing bastard. He had it good, seemed really settled and i can't believe he's chosen to leave after everything the club did for him...........oh sorry is this not the Thierry Small thread?

    Going forwards our central midfield was arguably the weakest point of our team last season. We didn't have the players who could play through the middle, on the half-turn, carry the ball, etc.. I'm glad we are bringing in someone who can help us progress up the pitch.

    a precontract signed only to be enacted IF we were promoted .. really, who t f cares, he's here and we all now want to see him in action, in the shirt

    Good signing, but I have to agree with the comments about the hoodie. One of the worst pieces of football related clothing I have ever seen.

    Pleased with this, had a strong end to last season.

    Seems a sensible low risk move.

    I don't think that any of the players in the squad at seasons start should be seen as "shoe ins", or at the very least should not be seeing themselves as such.

    New players should respect what the original squad achieved but aspire to taking that onto the next level, survivors from the L1 squad should be given a chance to prove themselves but not assume that sentiment will keep their starting spot. 

    I'd say there's a pretty good chance that Carey actually will be in the starting 11 next season honestly.

    Looks like he loves a shot. 11 goals last season (8 in the league)

    When I first looked at that it was a cube then I looked again and it was a hexagon... Then back to a cube. Must stay off the wine over lunch.
    Cube. Ms AA a hexagon.

    Competition for Doc
    Potentially more competition for Berry I think?  Blackpool played him quite advanced or on the wing in a bit of a Graham Stuart/Claus Jensen 'tuck in when defending, get forward when not' type role.
    That honestly sounds like it should fit pretty well into NJ's system.  I'm not honestly going to say that this is a signing that blows me away and fills me with confidence but neither is it one where I am baffled by the logic or totally underwhelmed.
    So just whelmed, then?

    A midfielder who can run with the ball  ✅

    Experienced in the Championship but is also still young  ✅ 

    What's not to like.
    Can he keep a clean sheet?

    Or the wage differed depending what league we we’re in?
