Signs on one month loan from Reading.

A player from outside the boro on loan, perish the thought and a midfielder instead of a right back!!!
Sack the board!

Is that Aaron's brother, or no relation LOL

Don't know what you're talking about...

Get in we are saved.

A young untried lad from the south. Pheww and there's me panicing, these signings always work so all good so far.

[ ] Our elderly but hugely experienced squad will now have the pace it requires and the older, experienced and dedicated pro's around him will bring the best out of the lad, and him the best out of them.

Or.....

[x] he comes here, hates it, didnt want to come but the nasty new boss at Reading said he had too, and then when we go a goal down and the rest of the squad do the usual bottling trick, he gets terribly exposed and doesnt contribute anything at all for a few weeks, and we send him back to Reading suffering Vietnam style flash backs chanting "you dont know man you weren't there".

Good luck young man

That is the usual scenario with these type of players, lets hope he is a good un, like the sort of loanees you see scoring at other clubs. Dont know about you but I am getting a bit tired of us always signing players on loan. Wonder if we will ever pay money for a player again.

Should we just not fucking bother then?

No we should be bringing in players with league experience who will be battle hardened and capable of scrapping for our lives rather than untried youngsters. There are enough of them out there, but again we've gone for a cheap option.

This is the type of signing we've had before that simply don't work, and it is not what was said on the tin when Moore and TMH took over.

There may be enough but do they want to come given our predicament. I'm sure they will be Moore says he has already been turned down by quite a number.

If only Ronnie had thought of getting experience in.
Cheap option or only option willing to come at present? We could well be paying good money for the lads wages who knows.

Anyway Happy Birthday and good luck Aaron, a physical pressence in midfield can only be a good thing.

FFS at least give this new regime and this lad a chance, he is the first of many promised signings and I suspect Moore knows more about him than you and Horden (which I am presuming is fuck all) I seem to remember him signing an untried kid from Wolves at Tranmere a couple of years ago called Jake Cassidy who did alright for him.

Pathetic couple of posts, let's at least give them a chance to deliver, the transfer window isn't even open yet!!

I wasn't aware they said there be no loan signings.

Thank God we never loaned, Dolan, Williams, Burgess or Harrison last season eh?

The experienced players you want are hard to come by in our position, it sounds like Moore is trying and by all accounts we will have 3 or 4 experienced players in shortly. (Doesn't transfer window open on 3rd January?)

Have to agree sadly, but hopefully we can even it out with some experienced signings. Not sure young kids on a months loan are what we need, I mean they're not going to put their bodies on the line for a team up north sat at the bottom of the football league are they? Not that you can really blame them.

Good luck though, the lads getting plenty of appraisal from the Reading lads, so hopefully he'll do us a job for a month...

Or Barmby it's not as if he didn't score any important goals or anything is it...

Horden came out with the same stuff when we signed Williams and Barmby last season as well.

He is more likely to put his body on the line than Walker IMO.

Maybe just maybe he wants to play football for his career and will be determined to make a mark and get into Readings first team? Not everyone has a heart the size of a pea.

Reading have actually considered him good enough to put on the field in the Championship this season so someone must rate him down there.

2 things

1) I agree with PJ - lets get behind whoever comes in and give the lads a chance. Whichever players turn up need to be given a chance by the fans - getting on their backs before they've even kicked a ball is not going to help them or us.

2) It would be great to buy a decent couple of players - but would you want to risk the long term viability of the club on some panic buys. If Moore can't get the players he wants - then why panic buy - tying them into contracts which we will be bound by IF we get relegated (still hoping for a miracle here).

The need for players that 'put their body on the line' baffles me. Yes we need a few battlers in the team but we equally, if not more so, need players who can play a bit and get us some goals.

As has been said already now is not the time for negativity, we've got the changes we demanded off the pitch, let's trust Ronnie's proven judgement and get behind the team. It probably won't happen straight away but I believe we'll go on a run and at least push the teams above us to until the end.

We've had players like that for years, but the fact they wouldn't show some fight is largely why we ended up in this same mess last season. Compton springs to mind. Great talent, if he could he arsed.

We need a balance, hopefully now we have him and the lad from Oxford (tbc) we can get some generals in the side.

I like what I see on that video, Physical presence. pace. comfortable on the ball, doesn,t sound like anything we have at the moment so hopefully some of the "older" players can pick up a thing or two.

As P.J. says lets get behind him not slag him off before he,s even kicked a ball and I say Thanks for coming here to try and help us out,
.

Big Thank You Aaron

Cheers PJ
you may have read my mind but you also saved me having to reply to these ???

thanks for the link Fetish

looking at that he,s exactly what we want in the middle of the park
everything he did was forward thinking.

and if i,m being honest, going by the clips why he,s joining us is beyond me.

PJ has it right for me.

How anyone can judge a player before they've seen him play is beyond me.

looks like he is going to be head and shoulders above anything we have at the club at the moment, very impressive

The video must be from a while ago, one of the comments is two years old, just hope he's not gone backover or had injury problems in the meantime. Agree he looks very useful if still able to reproduce that sort of form in a competetive match bearing in mind the standard of his new team mates !

Sounds a promising loan signing to me looking forward to seeing him play. Moore must have seen him in action and feel he is what we need if he's agreed to have him here.

Hi everyone,

I've followed Tish's development closely since we signed him. He is a very talented player and should, at the very least, have a long career in the Championship ahead of him. I suspect he'll play in the Premier League and he has turned down Arsenal and Man United in the past. Unfortunately for him, we have four top-end Championship midfielders right now and arguably the best young midfielder in the country in Aaron Kuhl (who turned down Man City this summer). Just when we had enough injuries for him to get a look in, he got injured himself.

That video posted above is from the 2011/12 season, and he's come a long way since then. Check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITwzMoKvuKk

He's good box to box, he has an eye for goal, and he's composed on the ball. If you are a bit of a footballing side then he should do well for you. He's reasonably well built so he should be able to hack the physicality, but who knows? Hopefully he guides you to a good set of results. If you play him then we'll probably let you have him for three months, and given that we've been let down by loans to local sides recently, it's likely we'd be opening to sending you more players if things go well.

Hopefully can work out for both parties, glad he has decided to come this far North.

Well done Pools hopefully the start for more to come.

Just to echo what's been said above - he's rated very highly by the club and my friends who support Reading. Could be very handy if he settles quickly and we can extend the loan. Fingers crossed...

Cheers to the reading fans for signing up. Sounds very promising.

We have a habit if missing our central midfield out, usually because our midfielders hide from the ball, hopefully not the case here.

I'm confused. Official site says Moore was impressed at seeing him score against Bolton recently. Official site then posts video of him scoring against Bolton but apparently that's from 2012?

nothing on his Twitter Account.

Ahhh, I just presumed Bob had posted the same link.

Cheers

Here we go, a bit of Horden bashing again!! I am wrong 1 in 20 times and we never hear the last of it, what about all the others who were flops? What about all the times I am right? why dont you share that with the others.

I may not know as much as Moore but I know more about football than you, ya fookin prick!

Also were Barmby and Williams really that good?

Williams was the best player In our shirt Iv seen for many a year and Barmby minutes per goal was one of our best for the last 10 years I believe?

All lower league sides will sign more duds than great players.

Anyone could say each signing will be shit and be right more than they are wrong. However most people are not that sad.

You've threw some big bait out there with that one Horden...

Barmby was a pretty decent player. But you've got to be joking about Williams? He was unbelievable when he was here. One of the most talented players in a pools top I've ever seen.

Just gonna give this a little bump. How's Tshibola done for you? Ready for the Championship?

I wouldnt have thought so but a very good player for this level. We dont get many youngsters who are physically as up for this division as him. Very neat on the ball (not often we see players at this level who go a game without losing the ball once) often a bit too casual on the ball for my liking but obviously has a lot of confidence in his ability. Think he been carrying a slight groin strain recently unfortunately.

Not got any pacey goalscorers we can have, have you?

I don't agree with Tree With Hamster. Tshibola is one of the worst players I've seen in a Pools shirt. You don't want him back, believe me.

(Howay, Hammy man, stop giving the game away).

Maybe not quite championship standard yet, I'd say let us have him on a 3 year deal and we will get back to you.

It was a pleasure to watch Williams play last season and it seems donkeys years since anyone of such class played in a Pools shirt, maybe Boyd or Brown at their best - or Denis Behan in his pomp!

Denis frigging Behan !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only similarity between Behan and Boyd/Brown is his surname starts with "B".

I think my attempt at humour may have flown right over your head!

Nah it didn't mate but my attempt obviously flew over yours.

I don't think Denis Behan was even the same species as Boyd or Brown!

I like Tshibola a lot. He is better than this level and a great acquisition for us, in a better team he'd do really well.

Alas, Craig Tanner is being wasted by Wimbledon and Dominic Samuel is... doing really well at Coventry. I don't think any of the younger players are ready yet, maybe Jack Stacey...

wrt. you keeping him, I will be sure to pass all your feedback on to Nicky Hammond. Best of luck for the rest of the season - unfortunately, it seems you'll be needing it.
