See official site.

 

Don''t know anything about him myself...

Cowlings going to be happy

[Butterbean_Canary 0]

Is he another centre mid??

[NCfC Till I Die 0]

great signing he really impressed at the start of the season against us .

[SnakepitCanary 0]

He played really well against us in the first game, and another player from the lower leagues, but surely we are running the risk of having too many midfielders? Fox, Croft and possibly Taiwo, with the likes of Gill, Tudor-Jones and Adeyemi left in the background.

[Canary_on_the Trent 0]

Obviously Lambert rates him, signing him twice but over the past 3/4 years he''s not held down a regular first team place at either Blackpool or Colchester.Just hope Russell isn''t off and Fox/Crofts are replacements for Gill/Tudor-Jones & Adeyemi(loan(.

[Heffers Canary 0]

seems so, suggests one or two may be on their way out or on loan?

[Brighton Yellow 0]

Canny move by Lambert again!

[Old Shuck 70]

Another midfielder!

But the cultured, passing-type, as opposed to the no-nonsense, aggressive type. Looks a good deal, handy stats, and ex-Man Utd, Iknow, no guarantee, but anyone who went through their system and went on loan to Royal Antwerp, can''t be that much of a mug...

Wonder if the Taiwo signing is off the radar now?

Anyway-well David!

Strange, I thought that Cowling would have put a block on any moves like this.

[NCfC Till I Die 0]

russel proberly hasen''t accepted that new offer and more than likely gone to leeds and he will proberly get rid of gill and jones

[crab man 116]

can''t really comment until I see him but what worries me is the amount of league 1 players he is bringing in. would really like to see some proven championship players

[Ivana_rubyatitz 6]

He should be a good signing but how many midfielders do we need?

[canaryjock 0]

Hmmm not convinced by this one really. The players we''ve signed, with the exception of Ward, are not exactly of a standard which would see us pushing for promotion as the board have suggested we''re going to do. Hopefully this is us bolstering the squad with some more ''high profile'' signings to come.

[quote user="Old Shuck"]Wonder if the Taiwo signing is off the radar now?[/quote]

Taiwo has had a serious knee injury - maybe he did have some problems at the medical? Mind you, I suspect with the Colchester connection here this guy has been on Lambert''s radar for some time.

Just because we are signing lower league players does not mean they cannot cut it at Championship level. These are all stand out players from lower league clubs, it just means that the other players around them at their clubs are not championship level

Why do we want him then?

[Shaun Tilly Lace 0]

Will he be a Fox in the box?

[Canary Man of Kent 0]

According to Col U fans he''s their best footballer, and Aidy freely admitted that, but he didn''t fit in with the hoofball that he favoured.

[SplatCat 18]

Don''t know anything about this guy but he can''t be that bad if Boothroyd reckons he was the best player at Colchester: http://www.greenun24.co.uk/colchester-united/david_fox_could_still_win_over_aidy_1_221634Weird that he only played 19 games for them last year, must have been injured or something.

[Road to Nowhere 0]

Interesting. He looked good at CR on the first day of the season but then so did Lisbie so hard to say really.

Like others, I am scratching my head at the number of midfielders we actually need now though.

He didn''t fit in with Aidy''s hoofball approach.

"Col Who site:

Why do we want him then?"Fell out with managment? Didnt fit into their style? Who knows, perhaps he didnt fit into Boothroyds hoof style of play. Does look a strange signing, but Lambert must know him well, so you would think he knows what he is doing. The pessimist in me is a little worried that we are signing a lot of league one players, which would be fine, but Lambert hasnt managed in the championship before, so hopefully hes not out of his depth.The optimist in me says he is bringing in decent, hard-working, team players. No individuals, but decent players who will make a solid team.

My cyber-based friends, I can assure you this is an excellent signing - Up there with signing Ward. Fox is direct competition for Lappin who, did ''grrreat'' (to quote Lambert) last season but didn''t really have too much competition for that place on the left hand side of midfield last term. 

[rjwc22 0]

I think having a cultured cm who can pass the ball around a al Chippy is no bad thing. I think Gill and TJ will be off and will wait and see with Rusty.

[hogesar 6,934]

I think this will make Cowling look like even more of a prick. If he has such a huge problem with our board and how we approached their manager, you thought he''d at least have enough self-respect to not sell us one of their best players.

[rjwc22 0]

Not sure this says anything about Cowling except that he will let his manager makes decisions about which players to keep or sell. We also don''t know how much we have paid or how good the guy is so think it is a bit early for gloating.

[matt crowhurst 0]

lets hope we followed the rules this time and no illegal approach from Lambert if not could run and run
