Aidan O’Brien looks like a rubbish Jayden Stockley. Slightly shorter with a worse goal return. Is this the ‘different profile’ striker Holden was on about?
Or just cheaper?
All the signings on loans or short term deals feel like a race to the bottom.
He’s more Washington than Stockley, has played out wide as well as through the middle.
An impressive compilation, scores with his head, favours his right foot but plenty using his left. From these clips, it appears that he can score if fed the balls, no evidence that he carves chances out for himself. If he comes and he can show some of this form, he would be a welcome addition. Big if though.
O Brien makes sense from a personal point of view.
As fans we underestimate the impact living away from the family home has on players which is probably why the likes of Shane Ferguson and John Marquis are also regularly linked with us.
In fairness I remember Portsmouth fans were very underwhelmed when they signed him on loan recently (season before last I think) but he went there & smashed it & they loved him by the end of the season.
I do think he’ll be a good addition for us if he’s over his injury issues.
Sounds like that’s a line fed every deadline day so the club can say we tried but they fell apart on the last hour
Kilkenny, O’Brien, the Huddersfield CM. Doesn’t seem unbelievable to me but we know we have a limited budget given there’s also a takeover in progress.
Bit of a worry that we havent been linked with or seem to be interested in any central defenders, Lavelle and Thomas look inept, Innis has the odd good game in about 5 and could get injured at any time but Ness looks good but still very young

Surprised we've not seen Lavelle or Thomas being linked away from the club...
Neither have been involved now since the Man Utd game as O'Connell has taken their place on the bench.

What are the chances?
Ideal signing for Charlton.

Yes , max of 5 in a squad. So you could have 6 and leave one out which for now is okay with Kane's injury.
St John Bosco Day.
