Well its a start and 50k for someone who is inconsistent is probably a fair price

Given that Birchall is on trial this week though, presumably it would be one or the other? I'd be somewhat surprised if we signed two right wingers, given we already have Cox (and Virgo ) at the club.

I thought Birchall was central ?

 

[Steve Foster]

Ayinsah

Sounds like a good piece of business for both clubs, if the deal goes through

He used to play right wing for Port Vale, but looking at wikipedia it says he tends to play right wing for his club but centre mid for T&T.

£50k too much for Anyinsah.

I guess we would be interested in Birchall for centre midfield after the departure of Thompson and the end of Johnson's loan.

Its a marginally better use of £50k than Dixon, I suppose...

We need at least two central midfielders i say.

Marginally.

At least Anyinsah will warm the bench I suppose.

and Pitcher

 

[hans kraay fan club]

To be fair, who even knows if Dixon's any use. I've seen him play for about ten minutes.

Anyinsah has some raw material. He is strong, quick and looks dangerous when he runs at people [witness the winning goal v Leicester]. His touch is worse than almost anyone I've ever seen at the club, but hopefully that can be worked on [though I'd be more hopeful of that if we actually had a coach at the club...]

 

[Lord Large]

I liked Dixon's wooly jumper he wore when he signed.

 

[Mendoza]

Adams spent £150k in his first season with us and we got some bargains, so £50k doesnt worry me yet.

I still think we need players that havent been part of our downfall this season, but I would rather have Anyinsah playing on the wings than Virgo, Fraser, Livermore, El Abd, Fleetwood, Murray, Forster etc

 

[BensGrandad]

I suppose with inflation etc 50k for him is much the same as 25k for Oatway but I do not think that Ayinsah is the answer to our problems. I am disappointed that we have targetted somebody who has proved not to be good enough in the main when here on loan. I would have preffered that we spent the money on somebody else, who hasnt been on loan here recently.

 

[Trigger]

£50k is a fair price IF that's true, knocks the likes of Robinson & Loft further down the order which can only be a good thing if we are trying to build a decent squad.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I was told that Anyinsah is on £5k a week at Preston, so will presumably have to take a relatively large pay cut (assuming that is an accurate figure).

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Great squad player who has shown some potential against, Man City, Orient and the foxs.

Will be interesting if the move makes him a more settled and consistent player, lots of promise lets hope Mickey can get the best out of him.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Carlise are rumored to be interested, well that's what they think on their forum.

Lets hope he goes there instead as from what I saw he wasn't very good.
