Signed on a season long loan. Decent pedigree but not the best scoring rate. Hopefully he can bang them in for us. Welcome Joe
Much improved scoring record compared to Angus. A goal every 191 minutes (2.16 games) for SC**thorpe in the NL and 1 ever 323 (3.58 games) mins for Oldham. Also got 3 assists with Oldham last season. Angus got 1 every 374 mins (4.16 games) with 4 assists. For Angus his most prolific season he got a goal every 268 mins (2.97 games).
Cheltenham fans felt like he was just settling in before the season ended. He got 16 appearances for them with 2 goals and an assist last season.
I think it's an upgrade and should fill a squad gap. We must also have got a deal here as they were just looking to free some wages up for their budget. If we wanted to pay him his full wage we Oldham would have cancelled the contract in a heartbeat.
I think you're spot on here, the season-long loan (which is unusual for us) suggests we've done a deal with them, I wouldn't be surprised if it's 50/50 wages.
The lad will hopefully play out of his skin to earn himself a permanent deal, and as you say he's got to be seen as an upgrade on Dior Angus - which is what he is.
Surprised to see this one but I trust the club's judgement, could and up being a smart bit of business.
