Breaking saints news - loan signing?? (Nicholas Bignall, from Reading)

[Saint J 77]

Oh god.... And he's been bailed so could end up going down too! If he's still on our books then we could have two of our strikers behind bars :-S

 

He is now a team mate with Barnard he could end up being his cell mate!

maybe we aren't going to be the "nice" team we have been recently

My son is a mate of a senior Reading first team player, so I got him to ask about Bignall. The answer, 'he's good, really quick and strong, a bit raw at times but has got a great strike on his left foot, he can play wide but is better up the middle'. It sounds like a good signing but only short term.

 

Derry, I wonder how ottery st mary will manage to try and attack you for posting that ?

I saw Bignall a couple of times for Stockport last season and was quite impressed. Certainly had a good first touch and pace to burn but struggled in a poor team and lost confidence. Could be an interesting addition and adds a different option alongside Lambert and Barnard.

I'll hold judgement as I know nothing about the guy, at least the club are getting in some cover. I assume he's more of a bench option than a replacement for one of our strikers. I know Doble can't play this weekend but does anyone think he is going to make the step up to first team apperances? I would of thought giving our lack of options he might of made the bench at least by now.

sounds like some promising views - is exactly what many on here have been looking for

That shirt's still not doing it for me (I was quite keen originally but all badged-up and with the 'sash' just stopping square at the shoulder it looks like a right dog's dinner ... incoming!)

 

Couldn't agree more. If it ain't got stripes it ain't the Saints.

I don't like the Chile shirt

 

It looks like a Tampax worn by a woman with one leg shorter than the other

And do you have personal experience of what that looks like ??:blush:

Agree with that I also saw him a few times at County, looked good but had Hoof-ball for service & no support. He is very quick & seemed quite powerful. Could be just what he & Saints need at this time a little bit of confidence & I could see him becoming a really handful for the opposition at this level.
