CKR is possibly the most exciting signing we have made in 25 years

[On the Left Wing]

royally pissed off by the constant slagging of CKR by some on NSC,

The lad is only 19 and oozes skill and pace and IMHO along with Seb Carole (and possibly Frutos) are the most exciting signings we have made in the past 25 years ....

Like Leon (who is also still a youngster) CKR needs nurturing and a firm hand when he doesn't give 100% in effort ... but his natural ability is there in abundance

If we keep these players and our own youngsters (such as Jake and El Abd) continue to develop then I would bet Gareth Glover's last £10 that they will be helping us into the top six of the Championship within 4 years.

everything that bury said about him when we signed him gave me great confidence. good post

 

[Man of Harveys]

I'll drink to that, well said.

I agree that he is an exciting signing, but one of the most exciting signings in the last 25 years? Behave.

 

[Franks Wild Years]

Quite right OTLW. I'm also pissed of with all the slagging, moaning bullshit thats going on.
Shut the f*** up and get behind the lads.

 

[London Irish]

Steady, OTLW

It's less of an exaggeration than it is to call him, ahem, a "twat", as some have done.

I haven't been as excited by a signing since we signed Zamora. To be honest I would prefer him starting games rather than jake

 

[On the Left Wing]

Think back to 1981 and I can only think of one other signing which could possibly match him for POTENTIAL excitement and that is Zamora ...

 

[sir danny cullip]

He's obviously a player who is very talented but i still think in past games he's looked like he's not interested but he is still very young and im sure the best is still to come.

Was quite excited about Lorenzo Pinamonte at the time.

Looking at the goals he has scored and some of his play you cannot doubt the lads talent. Given a decent run in the side I can see him getting close to double figures this season - not bad considering he is just starting to progress into a first team player.

I agree ... EVERY one of his 3 goals has been sheer class (MOTD goal of month stuff) and even against the likes of Burnley when he didn't score he still terrorised their defence when he came on .... think I am right that he also scored Bury's goal of the season last year

Not myself though. See 'now shut the f*** up' thread from yesterday evening.

Exactly, he doesn't score the 'bread and butter' goals of a striker, he scores the spectacular goals of an attacking midfielder. That is, of course, because he is not a striker but an attacking midfielder, as he himself said when he first arrived, not that anyone remembers.

 

[Icy Gull]

Most spectacular goal scorer without a doubt, but Carole is a more exciting player imo.

 

[brighton2win]

you can add adam hinshelwood to the future stars

I agree FH ...... though not an attacking midfielder but a forwrad lying off the target man ....which is what those at Bury said he was best at ....

Was it really that definitive? Not sure he'd do that well in midfield, he's a bit too languid and casual at the mo for that. But anyways, he certainly got all his 3 goals for us playing up front, wish he'd get a few tap-ins too though

 

[Robot Chicken]

While I agree with the sentiments above I think that having been fortunate to win the Coca Cola money we should've gone for a proven, experienced goalscorer first and foremost as keeping in this division is the most important aim. We can't really afford to buy for the future (cough *Molango* cough). Going for CKR is a risk and I hope it works out because if we go down and CKR shines, he'll be out of here as Falmer is still two and a half seasons away.

Having said that, I'd like to see CKR in midfield where he belongs with Knight and probably Turienzo up front.
