    He was MK Dons young player of the year in 18/19.  Wasn't Gilbey their POTY the same year?

    Got injured in their last game of season. Hopefully all good now :)
    I noticed that - knee ligament damage, dunno what the prognosis is.   


    Conor McGrandles passed the medical at cafc and stated the disabled sticker on his car was for his Nan.
    I haven't recovered from Gary Rowett yet!  I assume he passed his medical at Charlton - lasted 13 games - such a good player too.

    If this signing means Dobson is going I won't be too pleased. 
    If it means Morgan is going then great  .
    Also so far all our 4 signings have been on a free.
    Hopefully money in the bank for a decent striker.

    I don’t have many mates, but it just so happens that one of the few is a Lincoln fan. His answer to my question “is McGrandles any good?”

    ”Serviceable. Injured a lot towards the end of the season. Often captain when he played. An unspectacular midfielder.”


    Unspectacular is worrying.  A synic would add free to the unspectacular list. 

    I thought  he was better than that.
    Cynic .

    He passed the medical and if there were any concerns would have been sent for second medical ..

    Solid signing.
    McGrandles? Good luck with the song....
    Oh that's a teaser. I'm thinking the opening  verse for Bony M's 'Rasputin'.

    You can keep your pie & mash,
    Your jellied eels & sandals,
    You can stick them where the sun don't shine,
    We've got Conor McGrandles
    🎵

    It does work, but only if the last two lines are sung at a faster tempo. Could do with a food stuff to replace sandals too 🤔

    They have a fair point. But as we found out with Stephens, money talks.

    a bits and pieces type of midfielder, just what we need, tidy and unspectacular, a bit of a Scots Keith Jones  :) .. welcome Conor .. now have a word with Anthony Scully, tell him how good it is dahn the Valley .. problem is, Scully'd cost a good few quid

    Played really well against us at The Valley last season. Our most exciting signing yet for me.
    Who didn’t?!

    Some good reaction here from Lincoln fans: https://lincoln.vitalfootball.co.uk/conor-mcgrandles-leaves-reaction/

    Sounds like he can play as a holding midfielder but is also good going forwards. "Very consistent." That's what we need in midfield, more consistency, less Gilbey.

    Plays the deep lying midfield role, would suggest he's a defensive midfielder. For that reason I suspect he'll replace Dobson.

    It's not uncanny by any means but can't help but feel there's a similarity with Neil from the inbetweeners crossed with the lad from Gogglebox (the one that's always flirting with his sister)

    Only last season by all accounts to cover injuries.. I think he is more of a box to box..

    Sounds like he’ll be a deeper playmaker. A Charlton Pirlo 😁 - if we’re playing three in midfield it could allow Dobson to be more of an all-rounder. 
    Not according to this Lincoln fan comment:

    Very good player. Took one for the team last year playing more in the holding role. Always felt we got the best out of him as a number 8 further up the pitch.

    Good pro and goes with head held high.

    Also Gary Poole, scored that cracking goal at QPR that was posted the other day in 1996 I believe, and that was his only goal as his Charlton and his football career only lasted 16 matches before a knee injury finished his playing days.

    He's 27 in September. Winning 'young' player of the year just 3 years ago seems a bit much. He'd been a pro for 7 seasons at that point in time.

    Might just be me but i think a young POTY should always be U21.

    Sounds like Lincoln fans are surprised he didn't go to Scotland as he was homesick, hopefully he settles well further south!
    Dale Stephens type move. Going north in the opposite direction. 
    The agent told them New Scotland Yard
