benjii Posted 17 May, 2011 Share Posted 17 May, 2011 Ahh, well if someone tweeted it.... TBH, it does sound like a signing from that earlier Sibley tweet about "getting it ready".

jamesfp1 Posted 17 May, 2011 Share Posted 17 May, 2011 I will be seriously underwhelmed unless its one of the following: 1. Chambo signs 10 year deal 2. 6 Prem quality signings 3. Stadium expansion and development of surrounding area 4. Reveal of new shirt along with news of 10,000 '£100 Season ticket vouchers' hidden amongst the new shirts which go on sale tomorrow.

Chez Posted 17 May, 2011 Share Posted 17 May, 2011 if it is Stephens then I'm not surprised (as he wouldn't of left Oldham on a 3 month loan unless it was going to turn into a transfer) but I am disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted 17 May, 2011 Share Posted 17 May, 2011 He was alright. Would be pleased if we got him though. Definitely one for the future. Has a good eye for a pass when it comes off although at the moment is very inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypochondriac Posted 17 May, 2011 Share Posted 17 May, 2011 THIS is why i LOVE football! No point signing someone for the sake of it. We are in the NPC now and I haven't seen anything from him to suggest he will improve things (we will be signing another CM this summer anyway so he will be further down the pecking order behind Schneiderlin, new signing, Chaplow and Hammond.

revolution saint Posted 17 May, 2011 Share Posted 17 May, 2011 I wouldn't want Stephens TBH. We can do better. Same. He hasn't really done anything noteworthy at all in his loan spell. If we did sign him I'd expect a lot of people to say banal things like "Does the simple things well" and "You only notice him when he's not there". Halfway through the season that would be replaced by "largely anonymous for most of the game....why did we sign him?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorpie the sinner Posted 17 May, 2011 Author Share Posted 17 May, 2011 If we signed Messi, there would still be some on here saying he would be a bad influence and would harm team spirit!! There will always be a debate, hence the forum!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 17 May, 2011 Share Posted 17 May, 2011 Hammond, Stephens, Schneiderlin and Chaplow. Don't really like that selection of CMs for The Championship... why? You've got three players that have played at that level before and a very promising youngster who is wanted by Everton. I think it looks a good midfield 4, easily good enough for the Championship.

James Posted 17 May, 2011 Share Posted 17 May, 2011 Hammond, Stephens, Schneiderlin and Chaplow. Don't really like that selection of CMs for The Championship... Why on earth not? Morgan has been there and done it before and has now matured. Easily the best CM in League 1 so should do fine. Chaplow again is a proved Championship Player and Hammond has played there before as well. I take your point on Stephens who is unproven but he has shown some promise and is one for the future so won't be first choice. I really don't know what people are expecting us to do this summer. Why dismantle a team which has done so well to finish 2nd? Leeds, Millwall and Norwich kept the core of their teams and did well. No reason we should have to make wholesale changes.

Oh come on, even in his first few games Morgan showed a range of passing that we hadn't seen for a while. Morgan and Dale Stephens are totally different players - if you're comparing them then it's age alone because it isn't on football ability.

Saint Garrett Posted 17 May, 2011 Share Posted 17 May, 2011 Wouldnt be surpirsed if it was Stephens. Not convinced by him though and would have been hoping we're aiming a bit higher than him. Is he going to be above Schneiderlin/Hammond/Chaplow ?! Am expecting a new CM in the window, but was expecting someone that would walk into the first team aka a signing like Fonte.
