He'll put a spell on you
I'd rather he didn't go out on loan anywhere, but if he has too I can't see that a side just promoted to Division 1 and with what looks like a positive attitude is a bad fit. Hope they have a good season and end up with a healthy +'ve goal difference!

This should have happened a year ago and CW's development would have been 12 months ahead of where it is now. The fact that it didn't is testament to the failings of those running the playing side in 2014, and their superiors.

Hi all. Bury fan in peace.
Some very positive stuff on here about young Christian. I really hope it all comes to fruition!
Don't get too upset about some of the comments you may have read on our message board. If you think that's bad, please don't go on the Facebook page! The trouble with some of our lot is we had Nick Pope on loan from Charlton last season who was immense for us during the run in to promotion. We've also had Chris Kirkland training with us for the past week or so. A lot of fans wanted either of these two so when a relatively unknown (to us) pops up, people shoot from the hip if you know what I mean. We don't get much info on BHAFC young keepers being so far 'up north'!
From what you guys have said, CW will be an excellent signing for us. Keep popping back onto our board for updates and you never know, it could be 'Nick who?'
Good luck for the upcoming season. I've yet to visit your new ground but it's looks decent from the telly! UTS.

Walton and Bentley at Southend look very good. Can see both as England's no1 and 2 in 4 years time.

Very true but my point stands.

They have been moaning about signing him and wanting some unknown guy called Pope, i promise you that Walton is about 50 times better than Pope could ever be, Walton im pretty certain will play for England and also the premiership, he played 3 really good games for us last year and was exceptional in game vs tottenham in the cup.
If Bury dont appreciate the talent they have got they shouldnt have got him in the first place.
Ps personally i wish he was number 1 for us this year.

It was also before he actually signed for them
Yes, most were quite positive about the idea of him signing for them. Only one (that I could find, the one quoted) seemed to be whingeing on about "Can't we find anyone better?" Have they suddenly done a quick turn around and starting rubbishing him now he's signed?
Edit: I haven't looked on Facebook though - as Seaside shaker suggested, probably best avoided!

If you don't know who Pope is, how do you know Walton is 50 times better?

Fickle football fans on message boards well I never, would never happen on here would it?

Hes a great prospect, I would have quite happily had him competing here for the no1 spot, look after him and I hope he delivers on his great promise.
Absolutely! That Israeli centre forward is absolute sh1te, isn't he ...................!
Thunder Bolt
Silly old bat
He conceded two goals in the Tottenham game, which cannot be described as exceptional. I'm sure the manager will appreciate him, as the fans won't have a clue yet.
One of which (despite being a pretty decent attempt at a first stop) would 100% have been classed as a Stockdale error.

Silly old bat
I nearly went on to say that he parried the ball into the path of the Spurs player who scored.

He should be our number 1 right now, sending an England international to a team that trains on Man City's training ground puts him in focus for the one club that spends shedloads on good, young English players who will turn him against us, nick him for a couple of million & a year later he'll be worth 10...
ludicrous & disgraceful

Excellent point. Look at Southampton. The Academy produces the players you sell to generate the cash to make the club more competitive each season. They sell high, buy low or develop. Now they are European contenders in the Premier League. They would be the example to follow as how to run a decent Academy, be a selling club, yet improve every year.
In other news, Anton Rodgers smashed a late free kick past Walton, as Swindon came back from 2-0 down to take a point from Bury.

No fault attributed to Christian, I assume?
