Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,777 Posted June 18, 2019 I've never seen Adshead play, but I've read a few bits and pieces about him over the last year or so, and for us to sign him ahead of the big boys and for a fee as low as £300k sounds like a potential steal. Similar age and CV to Godfrey when we signed him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Premier league rules don’t allow clubs to sign and then loan out players in the same window. Although I might have imagined that. The fact he didn’t go straight back to Rochdale suggests that the club want to have a look at him in training at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wcorkcanary 4,329 Posted June 18, 2019 Love signings like this. While we argue the toss on this forum about Pros and cons of signing JR , this becomes a done deal. Can't recall anyone mentioning him previously, happy to be corrected on that though as don't read everything posted on here. Obviously Bethno knew about him, but did he/ you know we were ' in for the boy'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted June 18, 2019 It is a measure of how well we are doing in this respect that we identified him, but more importantly were able to sign him. More so given the number of clubs within 30 mins (or so) travel from Rochdale. Maddison was a snip as were Lewis, Aarons and Godfrey. Though I can only feel for the clubs/ and fans of those players - as they always going to be at the prey of clubs who will have a better coaching set up.

Ramrod 258 Posted June 18, 2019 What type of player is he? About Buendia's height but will surely need building up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted June 18, 2019 Man U were supposed to sign him last year for £1m which means he must have something. Tough but to break into a premier league squad though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted June 18, 2019 As said, we must be doing something right as you would think Man Utd could offer anything we could, and on his doorstep Perhaps this is the sign that some supporters need to recognise the direction the club is heading - and how much progress we have made so far.

Nuff Said 5,089 Posted June 18, 2019 We will have been able to point to Maddison as a great example of what we can do for a young player with promise. Max, Jamal and Ben too (hopefully Todd as well!). Let’s hope Daniel continues the trend. Sounds very promising, especially the comment about his work ethic - no “back problems” for him.

lake district canary 4,531 Posted June 18, 2019 We have shown with Maddison and the other youngsters that we are an ideal club to develop your career as a young player. Great reputation for the club to have as it means we will continue to attract the right kind of young player who has his head screwed on and the type that would not have his head turned by the lure of Man utd and the like.

Didn’t know Norwich were tracking specifically, although pretty much every Championship and Premier League club has probably scouted him at least once. He’s a number 10 primarily. Technically excellent. Was fast tracked into the England U18 team (and you don’t see many players in the England set up from below the Championship). A bit of a budget Phil Foden. Could be amazing, or we might never hear of him again - but certainly full of promise. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
