Watch a lot of 21s football and there's not many lads that big !!
He must be 6-5 and hopefully brings something different to our squad.
Although lads may sign pro contracts, I don't class them as a pro footballer until they have played 50 first teams games, so he's still learning yet.
He looks like he's a bit of fight in him as well,so it will be interesting how he develops.

Re: Matt Crooks Signs
 

He's a good player, anyone who thinks the lad can't play doesn't understand football.

And yes, I know he is not a striker.

Re: Matt Crooks Signs
 

Now Ladies and Gentlemen,

I too was dissappointed with his previous stint upfront, but Mr Coleman already has a favourite scouse son playing in that role........ so let's
see where he plays him....he may look more at home in centre mdfield or somewhere in the back line....we haven't exactly looked impregnable at the back in recent games have we?

And as someone else said, he's one of ours now so....... KTF

Up the Stanley!

Re: Matt Crooks Signs
 

Hope the lad does well obviously Huddersfield saw something in him in the pro game at their level up to 21 years of age

Re: Matt Crooks Signs
 

Davo, is it not possible to make a point without having to rubbish another poster's opinion?

Re: Matt Crooks Signs
 

Very rarely, it would appear.

Re: Matt Crooks Signs
 

The lad IS a centre back, and not a bad one to be fair, not sure if that's where the genius will play him but make no mistake that IS his position.

Re: Matt Crooks Signs
 

Can't argue with that,and if he progresses like Tom did I will be very happy!!!

Re: Matt Crooks Signs
 

Now we've got Terry Gornell as the lone striker, I'm quite looking forward to seeing him play in his proper position.

He showed his build up play was actually quite good, just lacked the finishing touch, but if Coley does play him at at the back or in a defensive midfield position I think he will do well starting attacks!

Is Coley thinking more next season with Proc not getting any younger and personally I think Joyce will get a move in the summer?

Also with Aldred leaving it leaves us with Winnard, Atkinson and Conneely as CBs, Just hope it isn't at Winnards expense and he is shifted to LB/RB as in my opinion he is our best CB at the club!

Re: Matt Crooks Signs
 

I would go as far as saying he is the worst player ever to put on the red shirt.

But it's fine, coley is a messiah right!?

Re: Matt Crooks Signs
 

I would like to wish Matt Crooks well, i so him play in midfield at portsmouth away for a short while and he looked the part.
We have to give the lad chance and get behind him, what as gone as gone lets look forward.
He could turn out to be a bit of shred business.
