Interesting that he is from Peterborough- wonder if they'd be sniffing given that JCH may be off. Check his goals out for Colchester, he’s quick, physical and has good feet.

Eddie Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 1 hour ago, Tonge moor green jacket said: Surely they're all important? With different qualities needed. Even if we got cover in for wing backs, they would need a bit of time to acclimatise. Ones we currently have are fine and have shown their capabilities, at least as a temporary squad replacement. You didn’t embolden the word ‘arguably’ that I wrote before ‘our most important position’. Of course all are important, but with the way we attack and how the whole side is set up to get to the byline, I’d be surprised if Evatt would be keen on relying on a player that was signed for our B team and was on the bench against Burton for the first time in 15 games in the league. I hope this doesn’t come across as anything against Matheson, he’s clearly a talent from his history and I very much hope he finds that with us and becomes a valuable member of the team, but I don’t reckon Evatt will be too comfortable with him being our RWB cover now that Jones has gone - that was unforeseen and I’d imagine it’s changed Evatt’s plans slightly. I might be completely wrong, just think it’s an interesting discussion considering how things have changed with Jones suddenly getting that call up.

Aye though I think the point is it's more about who'd possibly be a decent replacement Because we'd need one to come in firing and ready to go and not some loan signing looking for a game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantra Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Langstaff is in the limelight because of this and I suspect Gabe has probably pulled that name out of his arse as an example of what we could do with a few bob. Playing devil's advocate though, can't ignore a goal record like that, even in the lower divisions. However, look at goal records all you want - it guarantees nish. Whereas we know what we have with Charles. What you won't see on YouTube compilations and tweets is the off the ball work or how adaptable a new player would be joining a team mid-way through a season, whether that's Joe Taylor, Macauley Langstaff or another. One great thing about Dion is he's rarely ever injured and he plays more minutes than most of our squad. Considering how much running and battling he does, that is something that really makes him difficult to replace. £5m is obscene for Charles but that's about the figure I'd want for him in the middle of the season during a promotion push. £2-3m is probably fair value but other factors go into transfers obviously. I work with someone who knows Dion personally so I'll ask them if they've heard owt tomorrow 😂. They did tell me that Charles and Evatt are like best mates though.
