pimpin4rizeal Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Massive coup if we get option to buy ..much more highly rated then Fraser and labelled one of most gifted to pull on the shirt .. on the other hand if it’s just us getting him back to full health I’m not sure it’s such a great move .. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltonaggro Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 It does indeed. Brooks had a really good attacking relationship with Fraser at Bournemouth, could be devastating if it's rekindled in the Championship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Lion Tamer Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Interesting signing. I wouldn't have thought that he would have any long term issues from the cancer now he's had the all clear. However he hasn't managed to regain his starting place for Bournemouth or Wales. Perhaps it's just the time out of the game and he needs first team football to get up to speed. Given how good he was, I wouldn't think there's be an option to buy on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like a serious injury when you're unsure if the muscle/bone/joint will recover to the same strength. As you say, probably just needs regular games.

If all goes well and we get promoted, we'll be competing with Bournemouth next season to avoid the drop. We shouldn't be getting one of their (potentially) best players back into form without having some ability to make the move permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we bring him here it will be for our short term benefit in getting us up, anything else is secondary. We won't be signing him (on loan) for AFCB's benefit, but we probably wouldn't walk away from it either if that's a possibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gio1saints Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) £50k per week for supposedly one of there bestest players? Why on earth would boscombe let him go if he’s really that good? Why has he not completed 90 minutes ( actually he came off ht last match) this season and only once been a starter? He comes on for 5 or 10 minutes per match, when fit. If fit he’s not a starter for them. For Boscombe Athletic ffs. It’s not like he’s even a prolific scorer or assist maker when playing. What’s the attraction? They are not such a brilliant squad of EPL stars that they can just do that, surely? I don’t see this player automatically gets to start at SmS from his recent playing history. Maybe I’m not up to speed on this guy but he does not strike me as better value than other goalscoring wingers. Is this a decoy for some other target?

saintwbu Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Always been a big fan, would’ve liked us to have signed him from Sheffield United before Bournemouth did. Thought when they went down we might have bought him then. Joining us would probably give him the game time and style of play to get back up to full fitness as part of what must be a very tough recovery - he’s very comfortable with the ball at his feet so he’d fit in perfectly to this style of football imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of which means he doesn't have many miles on the clock, is very determined and resillient, and will have a burning desire to make the most out of his career. Danny Ings-esq i hope.

Ted Bates Statue Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 3 minutes ago, Turkish said: it's been worse. Remember when we loaded players from Reading. A noddy little club like Reading FFS It can't be that bad to loan from Reading, when it involves Michail Antonio on loan. The problem was Cortese didn't fancy paying £1M for him at the end of the season. We've signed enough dross from better-regarded clubs, how many people remember that we borrowed players like Mellis or Otsemobor around the same time period? As long as they do a job for us, it won't matter where they come from. Same with David Brooks if he does decide to join us. If he does really well and enjoys it here, maybe he'll push for a transfer (and we can recycle Burnley's "Free Nathan Tella" song). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lambtiss Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I would be delighted with this signing. He was in brilliant form before the diagnosis (he was actually at the Euros with Wales) and at the time was on the radar of several top teams. He now needs gametime which he can't get at Bournemouth. In Bournemouths recent 5-0 FA Cup thrashing of Swansea he created the first two goals and scored the third. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68091050 Great signing for us and him. I really think this could be the difference between the playoffs and automatic promotion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Seems like a great signing. Locally based, point to prove to himself, good enough for a higher level, left footed. If he ends up playing the right forward role then Adam Armstrong will need to deliver at CF. The only concern is whether that's a change we really need to make to the team, but overall this looks like a no-brainer signing if he's fit and affordable.
