Good signing if true. Still pretty young isn't he?

Good signing if true. Still pretty young isn't he?

 

25, I think. In need of a career rebuild. I'd be pleased if it's happening.

[suspect everyone]

Always rated him.

[bjk]

Cant remember much about him was he any good

[Ludwig]

Yeah, always liked him too. Glad to see him returning, will add a lot of options to our midfield.

[SuperSAINT]

Was linked with Blackpool before the window shut, so a bit of a coup for league 1 IMO.

[The Kraken]

If he's anywhere near the player he was with us previously this would be a fantastic signing.

[Saint Billy]

Rated him, very industrious, would be a good move, but, get a winger as well please...

[Um Bongo]

Solid signing for a league one club.

[Scudamore]

Would be pretty damn pleased with this...

[Saint Charlie]

Good passing midfielder who is box to box, yes please. Good attitude too. Creates good options for CM.

[keithd]

Would be delighted to see this happen. And should we get promotion maybe a permanent signing next season please

[stevegrant]

Would be good if he's anywhere near the player he was when he was here previously, but by all accounts he's been crap for Preston in the last year or two. A move could be what he needs.

[Weston Saint]

Decent time with us previously. His 3 year contract with Preston runs out in January 2011. Could be loan now with an option to sign in January?

 

Solent are near to the club so if they are saying that on twitter it just might be true

[Saint Charlie]

Probably just needs a change. A low risk but potentially high gain loan signing.

[Window Cleaner]

Decent time with us previously. His 3 year contract with Preston runs out in January 2011. Could be loan now with agreement with an option to sign in January?

 

Solent are near to the club so if they are saying that on twitter it just might be true

 

 

 

Would be a good signing really because we'll have to let Morgan go in January if we aren't there or thereabouts in the promotion hunt.

[Colinjb]

Would be Brilliant if true. Always rated him, was a real bright spark for us back in 2006.

[SuperMikey]

He was certainly very good when he was here before, would be a great signing in league one. Has gone off the boil a bit in the last few years, but dropping a level and playing regularly in an 'easier' league could be what he needs to get kickstarted again. Very astute loan signing if true, very impressed with that.

Played plenty of games for them, though.

[Yorkshire Saint]

Good signing if he plays as he can .... suprised by just the one month though

[Smirking_Saint]

Cracking signing, just what we need. I am f*cking well happy with this.

 

Now all we need is another striker and perhaps a winger, but this goes a long long way. Happy days

[Lighthouse]

Brilliant news. If he's half the player he was in '06 I'll be delighted. If not, well you can't go far wrong with a month loan.

[Pilchards]

Getting Chaplow is like getting Keegan in the old days.

 

 

Lovely jubbly.

[The Kraken]

Good signing if he plays as he can .... suprised by just the one month though

 

"Initial" 1 month, as stated on the OS. Sounds like we'll probably have an option to extend.

[NickG]

29 starts in CCC last season, 3 assists, 2 goals

[lordswoodsaints]

Good positive move.

[Saint Charlie]

Good signing if he plays as he can .... suprised by just the one month though

 

Normal for initial loans, can then be extended til Jan.

 

Great signing, will start v Tranmere I reckon as Morgan away with France U21s.

 

Hammond 4 bookings and Wotton injured....

[Smirking_Saint]

How long until the moaning about length of loan or just about the fact he is a loan arises ?

[Arizona]

29 starts in CCC last season, 3 assists, 2 goals

 

TBF, Oakley was pretty pants in his last season with us, then lead Derby to promotion the following season. Schneiderlin and Morgan were both poor in our last CCC outing.

 

A fresh start and a new team could do him the world of good. If not, well it's 1 month so it's not the end of the world.

[Saint_Si]

Extremely happy with this. Lets hope its with a view to signing him on a permanent deal.

[Yorkshire Saint]

"Initial" 1 month, as stated on the OS. Sounds like we'll probably have an option to extend.

 

Yeah i see that .....you just dont see that many one monthers these days though unless they are solving a problem and are never intended to be signed .... lets hope it works out and he stays longer

[Ivan Katalinic's 'tache]

Excellent news. Just need a striker now, IMO. A winger, too, would be nice but I can't help thinking a striker is what we also really need. The "initial" bit sounds promising. NA says he needs to assess his fitness & to see how he is so I guess it's probably something we can extend easily, if he does well.

[sammysaint]

I think were be playing 451 chelsea style hammond ms and chaplow in the middle with puncheon and lallana given free roles on the wing with lambert upfront

[saint_stevo]

pretty bloody happy with that tbh

That's abit harsh on the guy

 

Sounds like a promising signing

[chrisobee]

I liked him when he was with us, a one month contract shouldn't be an issue as I'm sure there will be an option to extend it. At this level I think he's an excellent addition to the squad.

[doddisalegend]

I really don't remember him from last time, but any sort of signing is welcome right now anything that might shake the team up and get things going. Good to see Adam trainning in the background behind our new signing on the O/S too. A fit Lallana will make a lot of difference to the team

[jawillwill]

A good player, but I always thoguht he was just a little too bald.

[saint_stevo]

only 1 month seems odd..............option to extend perhaps?

[ottery st mary]

Welcome Mr Chaplow......Good luck with the mighty Saints...

 

Will bring a lot of energy, drive and hopefully luck to our rise up the league..

 

Go Go Chappers.

 

WIFM

[PokingFun]

Interesting that he played a lot of games last year for them and it seems that for whatever reason Ferguson doesn't fancy him and therefore he has been placed on the transfer list.

 

There is no suggestion that he has lost any ability as he played 30 odd games last year so in L1 he should be very good for the division and a possibility of permanent if he does well given his transfer status. Slight doubt is the comment about having injuries to overcome last year but a risk well worth taken with a young, proven player from a higher division.

[rooney]

A decent player with us before. He also came back after his loan finished previously, to do the traditional lap of honour at the last game of the season. Good attitude.

[chrisobee]

pretty bloody happy with that tbh

 

Blimey, if you're happy he should be a world beater

[trousers]

Is this the "Nicky Butt" style player that we were after?

[OldNick]

he is one of the few ex player loans who came back and was given a good reception by the fans. He even came back and did a lap of honour with,the team on the last day of a season.

Again not pacey but a willing worker for the team. Quite happy with that one. Not sure how he will fit in with Guly if he is going to be in centre midfield though

beat me to it Lol
