Sorry, I meant more like whether anyone had heard about whether he was any good or not! Looked at his profile on the gills page, but only so much you can get from "7 appearances mostly as a sub"...

Biggie or TuPac? Hmmm... thorough character assement :theorange or :apple: ?

Also I am very confused today,why do we need another midfielder?:confused:

I want Will Hoskins from Watford:(

Julian Cope presents... Brentford's new loan signing!! :eek:
 

The Craig Stone thread

hmm... why have we got another centre-midfielder? We already have the moose as cover... Our squad is thread bare, so players anywhere is a good thing really, but I would of thought there were higher priorities than a midfielder?
Is this kid a loan with a view to a permanent move depending how he goes?
 

The Craig Stone thread

It might be cos KoC and Smith are knackered and Mous isn't match fit. No problem with a bit of competition; i'm sure Scott has the striker situation under control...
 

The Craig Stone thread

Stimson says he wants him to get games and come back a better player, whereas another search reveals Stimson has put him on the transfer list, along with 8 other players. So depending on how he does, he could be acquired permantley.

So thats the defence and midfield suitably covered, now just a striker please.
 

The Craig Stone thread

AS thinking ahead methinks...

If any good I think this could be looked at as a possible permanent signing

Lives in a caravan too :yes:

Never heard of this lad, but that's not to say he's no good.

Good luck Craig (Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavid), welcome aboard :wave:

Quote from Stimson after the D&R Trophy game in November...

"'One player who impressed me tonight was the lad Craig Stone. He was absolutely outstanding. He played a role that is very disciplined. You cannot get too carried away and go forward.

'Craig kept his shape well, showed aggression when he had to and he looks technically sound."

One thing worth considering is that at 6 foot tall, Stone adds a little bit more height - Mous is currently the only midfielder over 6 foot tall I think.

Bear in mind also that, if he's a defensive midfielder (and he may not be) it gives the extra option of freeing up Kev for fullback duties if required.

He's from Pikeyland (Gillingham) :sneakoff:

........Scotty is leaving none unturned..................

I think its great that Scotty is bringing in youth & instilling his passion to get the best out of them! Lets give them the best of luck & hope that we can bring them into Griffin Park for a longer term!

Don't see the point in this signing - hope he proves me wrong :)

Very true, but before today I thought we needed strengthening in 3 positions - centre-back, right wing and up front. We've signed a full-back and a central midfielder. Better than nothing I suppose but I thought we needed strengthening in other areas.

Having said that, we are allowed an unlimited amount of loan players (the only restriction is a maximum of 5 in the match squad) so no harm done I guess.

They do have to be paid, I doubt Gillingham will be letting us have this guy for free.

Its extremely difficult to get the right players in that are going to do a good job & not dismantle the existing team! Scott will use is know how to get the best out of what he has brought in ! Theres more wheelin & dealing to go so lets see what happens!
 

The Craig Stone thread

If he's here with a view to staying then fair enough. But after all Andy Scott's talk about looking for the right characters and keeping the dressing room tight knit, bringing in loan players looks a bit out of kilter (to mix metaphors). We started improving when we started stabilising the squad with players who have some commitment to Brentford.

Who knows whose going out??

He has done little to get your approval, except agreeing to be a Bee...that should be enough, at first

Stone looks like Smith who looks like Poole. Bet we never see them all in the same room at the same time.
