Don't get this i looked at Bristol city web and he's still on their books. Is he on trial for a loan if so that's bit unusual as the boy could get badly injured. Or could he be released by them?

I was wondering the exact same thing!

Trial with a view to a loan is fine imo. Spose it works for both parties.

Injuries are just part and parcel of things. I was quite impressed with him too.

Some players go on trial before transfers, why would it not work for a loan? Makes sense for us to get a better look at him before getting him in on loan.

The other lad from Bristol was on trial as well. This is the market we are in now. We wouldn’t be having the best kids from Bristol on trial with us before loaning them cause Bristol would laugh at us. But we are looking at that next level of talent who probably don’t have a career at Bristol’s city long term so they don’t mind letting them go on trial to secure loans. Also likely no other interest in the football league for them.

Looked like a trial for a loan to me. He was one of the best players on the pitch too, would be a great addition to the club and had far more influence on the game than (for example) Crofts did, and streets ahead of Marsh-Brown.

Physically he looks like a potential replacement for Labadie, is he the same sort of player?

Played further up the pitch nearer the number 10 role (not sure if that was what he was meant to be doing, lost track of the subs after a while), and was much more involved creatively between the edge of the centre circle and outside the box than destructively (i.e. he wasn't haring around pressing people but he won the ball back a couple of times), had good quick feet and very good at seeing the pass and executing it simply - his one shot wasn't ever going in but tbf he was trying to bend it into the top corner with the outside of his right boot from about 25-30 yards.

Good young signing who should go on to bigger, greater things. With Bakinson and Marsh Brown in midfield we have loads of pace which has really been missing since we got back into the League both offensively and defensively. Bodes well.

Has there been any official notification that we've signed him?....

Has it been confirmed that we have signed him?

That's interesting, the "nine players head out on loan" article has been replaced with one entitled "eight players head out on loan".

Guess who's not on the second list. County have posted on Twitter and Facebook that there will be a joint statement on Monday but I don't think it'll be a surprise who it'll be.
