Agard signs 18 month contract

[ColinDouglasHandshake]

It's expected that Mibo will start every game he'll have conditions meaning that pretty much has to be the case in his loan. Would have expected to see Agard from the bench at least

This is concerning though because after his initial debut which looked promising, he's been ineffective. Perhaps another Cukur, albeit slightly better. Not seen a lot since to suggest he's going to change games for us tbh.

Agard looks sharp and has pace. Even chucking him on for half an hour at 1 nil down is better than not putting him on at all IMO.

We've not made many chances for him though. He's 5 times the player Cukur is probably just needs a goal to get him going. 100% on Agard surely he's worth some time on the pitch

[ColinDouglasHandshake]

He doesn't make any runs though. He's like a much harder working Hiwula.

Mipo hasn't got a must play clause. None of the loans do.

Got to say I thought Agard was poor and offered very little in the games I saw him play. Think the manager was correct to drop him to the bench

None have must play clauses (or at least the summer loanees didn't) but normally we have to pay a higher weekly loan fee when they don't start.

Not saying it's why he's starting but there is always a loanee preference even when performances don't warrant it. Mipo isn't in that bracket he hasn't been here long enough to be judge either way

Fair enough about not judging players too soon but the facts are that Agard, Odubeke, Griffiths have just 1 goal between them in all appearances. I didn't expect them to be world beaters but i expected a little bit more in this department.

Why did GM sign Agard on an 18 month contract? Baffling. Dangerous player with movement. Barely used now. Anyone know of any reasons given by GM?

Because GM sees use of him over 18 months, not just 1 month?

[ColinDouglasHandshake]

Its a reasonable point. I'd like to see him utilized more though as sub for now.

[Sammy Chung was King]

Get him in the side regularly and then he can be judged. He’s come in short of fitness and hardly had a game. I would give him a chance somewhere along the line. Odubeko might do better coming off the bench for a game or two.
