25 games last season for Vale, he scored 7 goals and last match for Forest u23’s he scored a hat trick. Attacking central midfielder who get’s himself in the box.
This is the kind of player we were missing. Stick him next to Spence and leave Vincent out. Onaraise in for Bedeau and Rowe will be fit for the RB slot.
Makes us a hell of a lot stronger. Yes, we could do with another RB and a GK but we’re a lot stronger than what we were.
Olomola is about 3 weeks away as he’s not match fit, so he’s someone to add to the mix. Turan was back in training today as well.
Forest fans really rate Jake Taylor going by what I’ve read and some think he should still be there battling it out for a first team place.
Vincent and Spence didn’t work. Spence broke a lot of the play up but Vincent doesn’t really add anything, he’s tidy enough but hasn’t really had a big impact in any game he’s played.
“Olomola is about 3 weeks away as he’s not match fit”
Do you really think he’ll get a game, doubtful he’ll make the match day squad IMO. Cox might want a quick look but that’s all it will be I reckon, has to be behind Loft, McAtee, KVV, Turan and probably Hallam, Green & Jarvis as well.
Thanks MKI, should have said last two, I meant Yates and forgot Gabriel.
At least Vale fans liked him and would have loved him back there so I hope he could be the forward midfielder we are missing, still worried about Right Back though.
He is a very good signing, but how many players do we need this season???
What worries me is that the lad said that “the manager called me on Wednesday and impressed me with his aims of how he wants his team playing”, would he have informed him like he has us supporters that he wants to see us playing ATTACKING FOOTBALL.
Ignoring the financial situation this seems like our best signing of the season and a bit of a coup. 7 goals in 21 starts from CM for Port Vale last season is pretty darn impressive!
, has to be behind Loft, McAtee, KVV, Turan and probably Hallam
Van Veen is currently injured, so unless he’s going to be played while wrapped up with duct tape, he’s not currently in the mix.
The way Cox was talking around pre season time, Olomola was one player who really impressed him. I wouldn’t be at all surprised he’ll get a chance once fully fit.
Turan looked good in that one game but he’s still an unknown quantity. Hallam is a really good player but it’s whether he stays fit or not.
I like Hallam but I’d still much rather have 2 proper strikers up there. McAtee didn’t do himself any favours with that crap performance v’s Man City U23’s…he and colclough we’re rumoured to be 2 of the players who got a proper dressing down from Cox after the game.
There is also a chance McAtee may still move on. I think this is his final year of his contract so we may look to make a bit of money…and in the current climate, that’s not beyond the realms of possibility.
I doubt Olomola will be behind Jarvis, he’s only being played because been there to use and going by what Cox said the other week, he see’s Green more of a wide player.
Last week he was on the radio talking about wide players and listed Green in with them, so I don’t think he even see’s him as a striker.
Olomola has scored before at this level as well. I’d stick him up there with Loft when fit, old style little and large partnership. One to brutalise CB’s and the other to run in behind.
If Hallam stay’s fit though I expect him to do really well, we’ve always knows he’s had the talent….it’s just his inability to stay fit.
Looks a good signing from the short amount of clips watched. 5 goals from 18 isn’t a bad return for a midfielder either.
The main focus should now be offloading players; with so few u23 fixtures there is no need for such a bloated squad, if anything it will probably cause Cox more problems having to omit 10 players every week from the match day squad.
