Midfielder Adam Reed Joins From Sunderland

From Sunderland, Midfielder, 19. For a month at first, sounds good!!
 

Midfielder Adam Reed Joins From Sunderland

I hear he's a rock in the middle, in the mould of KOC, Bean, Dave and OTJ.
Welcome aboard Adam!

Welcome aboard young man.

Strange that we loan a prem younster from a club 300 miles away rather than more local!!

Not complaining though............

Steve Bruce I guess - ex-team mate of Forster.
 

Midfielder Adam Reed Joins From Sunderland

We've got two other players training with squad as well according to OS - George O'Callaghan, 31, who is an old mate of Forsters from Brighton - but played most of his career in Ireland and a young uitlity defener/midfielder from Spurs called Nathan Byrne.

does this show that forster has some decent contacts...

I think it shows the board backing Forster more and more with the sanctioning of these signings in recent weeks

Is this old George from the training ground making every one tea when Allen was here ? Sounds like it , ,released by the mighty Tranmere and then Yeovil without hardly kicking a ball .Forster out !

Byrne ,cant get into the Spurs team that has a Praying Mantis as a striker ? Warburton out !
 

Midfielder Adam Reed Joins From Sunderland

Interesting to see whether Reed and Byrne are putative Steve Sidwell's ie prospective stars of the future looking for some experience and some toughening up at a lower level on their journey to the top or else players going to be released at the end of the season looking to secure a contract elsewhere. Time will tell.
 

Midfielder Adam Reed Joins From Sunderland

At least he should be able to find a red and white shirt - some we've had on loan this season didn't seem to know what colour shirt to pass to and often got it wrong

The former I understand.

Seems as George O'Callaghan is with us as well.
 

Midfielder Adam Reed Joins From Sunderland

As a Tranmere fan I thought I would offer some views on O'Callaghan, he is no doubt talented, you only have to see some of the goals he has scored that are on youtube to see that, however he has major personal problems and doesnt seem to have been able to sort himself out, I know for example Tranmere went to great lengths to assist him while he was here, the fact that since us he has had another 5/6 clubs tells its own story im afraid

Looking forward to the game 2moro night, we are in decent form and have always enjoyed my trips to Brentford

Welcome,
125 fans saw us muller you and reported back on here that you were missing players and were awful that day, we beat a nothing side 3-0 but I think we played you at the right time. You looked like relegation certainties that day but have turned it around.
Is that fair or did we lie on here
 

Midfielder Adam Reed Joins From Sunderland

Whether this indicates Nicky is favourite to land the job or not, it's nice to see the board back him even if it's only in the short term. Well done BFC board!!
 

Midfielder Adam Reed Joins From Sunderland

Is George O'Callaghan any relation to our Fredo Callaghan? :D

No, but he could possibly be the son of former Prime Minister Jimbo Callaghan. Aceface can provide a full Bio on Jimbo

an Irish bias going on here, Byrne and O'Callaghan
 

Midfielder Adam Reed Joins From Sunderland

.....are we really short of midfielders at present?...
 

Midfielder Adam Reed Joins From Sunderland

What's that - four new faces? I hate to put a downer on it but do we really want a load of new players upsetting the team just as it looks like it is finding its balance.

Says both, I think; good news regardless that talented young players are coming to the Forster Wonderland.

I've posted before that for our last game with MK Dons we only had nineteen fit players; three of those were goalkeepers which effectively takes us down to eighteen and Kevin limped off in that match with a groin injury. It was inevitable that players would have to be brought in and I flagged this a week or two ago.

Not sure how long the loans for Tudor-Jones and Bignell are for, but perhaps Nicky has his own ideas concerning those two? Perhaps they are on their way?

Thanks, appreciate it, hopefully the agreement does not state that they have to start every game, have guaranteed first use of the showers, have Greg Dyke read them a bedtime story every night and get free discount vouchers to the local McDonald's too!

I'm with you to a significant degree on this one Hitchinb. I appreciate the need for cover at full back but not too sure about the others. We'll have to wait and see how they do and what it says about Fozzy's judgement.

Obviously not as per Abees post re injuries etc :o
 

Midfielder Adam Reed Joins From Sunderland

O'Callaghan and Byrne are on trial, the Sunderland youngster is the only one who I imagine will be in tomorrow's squad. Hopefully that will mean OTJ can go back to Norwich. I can't see how looking at other players is going to be unsettling.

I thought that the consensus on here was that we had midfielders but we needed one or more who could provide something different. We have brought in a very highly regarded Premiership youngster who Steve Bruce has allowed to go out on his first loan. If you had seen the lengths that Sunderland have gone to to ensure that he is well looked after you would understand that he is very highly regarded there.

They both insisted that they be allowed to meet Northampton Bee in the boardroom. That was a dealbreaker for them so we rolled over for it.

Reed will be sleeping in Slatts' cellar for the duration of his stay at the club and has been given a five pound per day food voucher for redemption at Martin McColl / Brentford Tandori.

...good stuff...
 

Midfielder Adam Reed Joins From Sunderland

19 yrs old, joined Sunderland at the age of 8.

He must be due a testamonial.;)
 

Midfielder Adam Reed Joins From Sunderland

From my Sunderland mate.

"I've not seen him play but he's been around the periphery of the first team with our long midfield injury list. Seems well regarded by those who go to see the reserves. Central midfield who can tackle and make a pass. He's quite small. Ha'way the Bonny Lad."

Hopefully we have found a Sam Saunders that can tackle.
 

Midfielder Adam Reed Joins From Sunderland

at least he will know what colours to pass to!!!!
 

Midfielder Adam Reed Joins From Sunderland

This place is unbelievable! Months and months of 'we need more quality in midfield' and then when an attempt is made to do this, it's 'worry, worry, worry'. Head banged against wall!

Indeed it was. This is the type of signing AS should have made in November.
