I would assume it'll be a 1 year deal with an appearance related second year or something like that.

Decent enough signing. We needed to sign somebody who can hold the ball up... or at least challenge for the aimless 60 yard punts forward. He has pretty decent skill level and pace and his experience will be useful with the likes of Rigg/Wyke. I doubt he will get that many goals though as he has played over 400 games at an average of one goal every 5 and a half games.

I called hima big old unit in the original post.... then I read that he is the same height as me and a stone lighter :ohmy: :unsure:

Whilst he may prove to be a good signing still can't see where the goals are going to come from and let's face it that's been the problem for the last few seasons

Actually, the main problem for the last few years has been shipping 60-70 goals a season. If we're tighter at the back the strikers may well take more chances as there's less pressure to score with every shot just to keep us in some games.

If he's signed, why not just announce it? Is Curle waiting to get a couple more in then he can announce 3 signings at the same time? Maybe he's very close to getting a couple of others through the door. Could be quite interesting. Defence sorted in Curle's mind, a couple of decent midfield signings, now he's after more forward players. Not actually a bad way to go about building a team, particularly after last season.

Get Ibehre in, keep Dempsey and sign a pair of speedy wingers and we've the makings of an actual team.

Just a pity the boardroom stuff is so cack.

Actually, the main problem for the last few years has been shipping 60-70 goals a season. If we're tighter at the back the strikers may well take more chances as there's less pressure to score with every shot just to keep us in some games.

No doubt we have shipped goals but I believe that the problem in defence starts because we don't take our chances. How many times have we been on top failed to score then the opposition do then we fall to pieces trying to get the equaliser. A perfect example was away at Cambridge last season for 20-25 minutes we were cruising totally in control but didn't score when we should have. Cambridge score we fall to pieces resulting in a 5-0 stuffing.

Chicken and the egg conundrum... I say pressure on strikers because of leaky defence, you say pressure on defence because we don't take chances. Probably a mix of both.

If Asamoah signs up then we've now got Ibehre, Rigg, Wyke, Paynter, Asamoah and Beck up front. Surely one or two of them has to go at some stage, Paynter hopefully to Hartlepool and then if we can shift Beck as well that'd be good.

I imagine everything will start to take shape properly over the next week or so, most clubs have their financial year end on 30th June, and a lot of footballers contracts also run to that date. Some of these lads will be having to take a cut in pay so will be hanging on for as much as they can get out of us. I'm sure we'll be offloading most of them, none of them will want to sit around in the stand not even getting a look in, they'll want to be playing in order to get a further contract and extend their career. No use to any of them having a full season at a struggling league 2 outfit not even getting a kick.

Ibehre in and Paynter out is excellent business from us.

I think Ibehre will be really useful in this league. He'll give us that strength and ability to hold the ball up, while giving us a bit of pace as well.

Happy with this one.

Here's a comment from a Walsall fan on Ibehre:

"Jabo is a great league 2 signing. Probably the best hold up player in the league, he was one of the best in league 1. Tireless, strong as an ox, never gives up, great characteristics for a footballer. He isn't great at finishing and he will miss a few sitters, but he's a 10 goal a season, tireless, strong back to goal forward. Play someone quick with an eye for a goal off him and you have a good little remedy there."

Wasn't too sure when we were first linked but having had more time to think about it, he could be a great signing if he settles quickly. He's not going to score shitloads but to be honest, if he causes problems and creates space and opportunities for Wyke and Rigg, he'll be a great asset. You never know, Beck might learn a thing or two from him as well.

Just checked his stats on Soccerbase.
He's played against Carlisle plenty of times, scoring 4 goals against us in his career, he was also sent off at Brunton Park when he played for Stockport County.
He's got plenty of experience, not a prolific scorer, hopefully be a good signing.

At least Ibhere will be a better target man than Paynter.
Paynter's idea of becoming a bigger target man was to eat more pies.
I suspect Paynter is considering moving to Hartlepool because he has heard how good their pies are, unlike the Brunton Pasty.

If he's half as good as Hawley was in his hold up play then it is something the side has missed for years. I got fed up of us launching the ball to Wyke last season who seemed either uniterested in getting his head on it or was out-muscled nearly everytime it came his way. It obviously didn't suit his style of play but carried on doing it regardless.

Wasn't there a quote last season that Paynter is solid muscle? And had very little body fat in a test?

On paper we have a strong foundation for a league 2 side. Feeling a wee bit better about the football side of things. Two pacey players for the flanks and we should be looking forward to a decent season on the pitch...

This goal here sums up the type of player he can be. I've seen him do this type of thing on many occasions.


(The goal right after Monakana's goal)

He's big and powerful, but he's got a turn of pace to get away from people as well which is why I don't necessarily think signing him will guarantee hoofball tactics.
