New CB

Lincoln are apparently signing a CH to allow Lewis Montsma 6’3” defender to leave on loan, given our liking of a Lincoln loan could this be the one, very experienced

But hasn't played since 1 November...  has had a few injury issues I understand.

[Cramby10]

I sincerely hope our new centre back is left footed. I don’t think I need to explain why.

[Bessie Red]

Hes had 2 ACL injuries since 2020. Do we gamble on a player with that record?

Never been a fan really. Maybe Lincoln are signing Elerewe from Bromley. He’s signing for a L1 club for cash.

[DearneValleyRover]

I’ve absolutely no idea who it is going to be, just seen that Lincoln are signing a new CH and are looking to loan him out for game time, nothing more than that

[Alan Southstand]

I’d rather we signed the Bromley lad! At least he’s fit.

He will be moving for a pretty big fee.

Is this to restore some sort of religious balance in the team????

Byron Webster...?

Yes, we don’t do big fees, do we?

TBF Lincoln don't generally either.... but there is some cash injection there...

What’s Montsma like? Sounds like a ball playing defender but he’s not actually that experienced and that’s what Grant said this signing would be.

Only 129 appearances all comps at 27.

that’s gone way over my head flower. Absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.

But at the moment it will depend on the loan fee and wages we will get what we can afford. A lot league 1 clubs are passing us by. As before when we were in league 1 our spending power is way down the list.

I was working on L1 the first season he joined Lincoln and he looked a bit of a find. Good on the ball and scored quite regularly. Over time it became quite apparent he’s a pretty ordinary defender and he’s played 33 league games since January 2022… that’s 4 years! From memory he’s done his cruciate twice (don’t fact check that…), I’m sure it’s true.

May not even be him, and if it is, does he have to even be that good to be better than what we have? Possibly not.

I feel like Montsma has had a few red cards in his time at Lincoln.

He has done both ACL's in the last 4 years... got over those and has since had shoulder problems.  He is (was) a gifted player in his first year/s at Lincoln and was well thought of; however, his injuries have kept him back.  I understand he is currently fit (injury free) but he may take some time to get up to pace...

Ignoring your first paragraph (which essentially reminds all of your c.v. ‘yet again’  & its tenuous links to football in general) your second paragraph is abominably ambiguous to say the least!

I’m at a loss as to exactly what you’re attempting to say in your second paragraph.

I can’t be a**ed to quote you but in essence, we not only need ‘better’ than we have in the centre of defence, we have to have someone who brings a ‘difference’ to the balance of that pairing be it pace, height, confidence on the ball, organisation, physicality or just a downright presence in the way that Rob Jones ‘brought onto the pitch’ & in doing so ‘demanded’ by his own standards that they do so.

Forgive me for ‘dancing on the daisies in your lawn’.

Regarding that last sentence, Micky, GM said this guy, whoever he is, is ready to go straight into the first team, so it must be someone who's match fit.

[Alan Southstand]

So, where’s this centre back, then?

People were saying don’t panic it’s only early January etc, well every game we play without a new CB we are losing points. It’s gonna end up costing us big time.

[moses]

If the new CB is wavering worried he won’t get game time, he won’t be worried any more.

After today debacle he’s probably not wa t to be blamed for results like ..

[Smyth]

Grant said to be signed by Monday. Has promotions with two clubs.

I think that was him in his agents helicopter leaving in the 88th minute

None of the names mentioned have 2 promotions under their belt so idea who it is. Tom McIntrye was part of the Charlton team last season but only played around 10 games

[scawsby steve]

Whoever it is must surely be an improvement on what we've got.

We really are terrible in defence.

[ncRover]

I think it was more a case of a game management issue from the management team rather than pointing fingers at the defence personally.
