Chris Mepham


He was poor after Christmas mind and lost his place in the side. Got the run around from a few championship strikers. Sign players like Mepham for the premiership we may aswell just forfeit trying to stay in the league
I don’t disagree but highlights our defensive problems. We need 2 CBs urgently.
 
Our favourite downie reckons he doesn't fit the profile we want for the premier league so we can probably rule that one out. Was very good last season mind
Judging by what we’ve seen so far from the new lads, particularly the keeper, I reckon we’ll be getting proper technical, skilful CBs.
 
Totally out paced by Hamer for the opening goal at Wembley.
Emil Riis For Preston and Harris for Oxford ran him ragged second half of the season aswell. He was pretty average after the new year. No chance will we sign him the club know hes not good enough for this level
 
He quotes the ability to get about the pitch, which means pace and stamina but yes we need someone who is comfortable with ball
It’ll all of the above like. I reckon we’ll get a shock when we see how different they are to what we’ve got now. Looking at Roefs yesterday, I thought f*** me we haven’t just gone and got a better version of Patto, it’s a massive change in how we’ll play.
 
We haven’t landed one yet.
We are still 2 weeks away from the start of the season mate. I expect a CB of proven prem quality to be here by the end of the week. The morrocan lad Aguerd is heavily linked, who is an upgrade to anyone we have imo. Mepham is decent, and a free transfer would be good- but he isnt worth the 10 mill Bournemouth want for him.

Oh man I thought we’d see the end of the “x player was shite after Christmas”
Minging crack, but he’s my last response to it.

It is absolute bullshit, there is no chance we go up without Mepham and you should speak about him with more respect.

Whether it was Sheff Utd at home, or the cup final against Sheff Utd, the lad was imperitive to us getting promotion, and should be praised for that.

Taking the last 5 games away which Regis clearly did, NO player in our squad had a big post Christmas drop off, not Rigg, not Mepham, not Jobe, just shite spotted on here.

That being said, no we shouldn’t sign him for prem, as I agree with the club prioritising athletic quick defenders which is needed for the Pl.
