I actually don’t think the transfer to Pool will materialise, but interesting you lot are lining up Kane who looks a good player…
Read some of the posts RE what you lot value him at - so I assume he is a very good player?
- question: what style of player is he?- box to box?
how’s thorniley getting on?
We've more than lined up Kane - he signed already.
Have to say if CamBran goes to you I'll be really pissed off because he is just that good. Had a tough year last year and nearly went blind, but this season he's started like a rocket and looks like he's too good for both of our clubs - I don't think he'd look out of place at a promotion chasing Championship club if he can keep his form up. As it is, he really loves OUFC and given how we stuck by him and helped him through his eye troubles last year, I think it would take a hell of an offer to tempt him away - in terms of both transfer fee and contract.
As for style of player, he mainly plays as an 8 for us, really good on the ball, can pick a pass and control the midfield. We've played him as a CDM and he can do that well too, but he's definitely superior in the 8. His best attribute for me though is his passion. I've rarely seen a player who just adores being on the pitch and playing as much as Cam, and he's the kind of player that can single handedly lift a team to get a win.
As for Thornily, if we could have him on a perm that would be lovely. One of our best performers so far this season, been really impressed. I believe we have an option to buy in January, but a deal that meant we bypassed that option and maybe saved some money on him may be the only way you can nick Cam off of us.
For what it's worth I think a transfer is unlikely in this window, but if we fail to go up this season Cam will be in the Championship next season without question.
