Most liked posts in thread: Calum Kavanagh

Signing this lad has shown how many braindead supporters we have on social media. Writing a 20 year old off before he's kicked a ball is just stupid

 

Thing is we find signings of this underwhelming simply because he's not an household name.
I'd never heard of him till today.
Give the lad a chance he's young with plenty of football years to come not like Derbyshire at the end of his career.

 

Just getting this one ready for June time....

BREAKING: Kavanagh joins Swindon on a season-long loan.

 

Young lad, though.

I think despite the clichés at the start of a season, you generally can tell if an older journeyman is any good or not based on their record, but not with a 20 year old.

2.5 year deal is surprising, but I welcome it.

He should be at his best by the time he's 22 - like Jake Young, really!

 

Congratulations to Calum on being called up for international duty with Rep of Ireland under 21's.

He will miss the Notts Co and Harrogate games as a result of his call up.

 

Oh come on he is only a young un time to develop. He needs our support. Who knows he might be really good in a couple of year.

 

I don't mind this signing as such. I would much rather we signed someone like this, young with potential, than another old has been. I've just given up on this season so hope it wasn't another panic buy just to get someone in before the deadline...unless we think we need to shore up to avoid relegation.

 

Looking like a very very good signing.

What's impressive is that as a youngster, arriving in January to a team struggling to get going - he's not been daunted at all. He seems to relish, welcome and appreciate playing in front of a demanding large crowd.

Early days but it shows that we have to see how the signings actually perform, before passing judgement.

 

If the lad is as good as his dad Graham, he'll do for me.

 

BINGO

"I met the manager and we had a conversation, and as soon as we had spoken I knew this was the place for me. This is what I need at this stage of my career, and this club gives me a platform to progress as a player and hopefully achieve promotion.

"I would say I am an energetic player who likes to press, get in behind players and get in people's faces and ultimately score goals. I am here to win games.

"I am looking forward to getting on the grass and showing what I am about, doing really well in this league and for this club. I cannot wait to meet the fans and pull the jersey on."

 

The lads only 20 and could have future potential. Who knows?

I just hope he has a chance to play and show us what he can do.

Cook needs competition. I’m glad he’s getting some

 

Welcome Callum. Hope you get a good run and a fair hearing from the fans. Don't worry about comments on here!

 

All signings are a gamble, either on loan or perm.
Banks, Critchlow and Wright pretty decent last season, this years have not worked out so well.
Pickford , Burke, Cullen. some work, some dont. Lets just give the lad a chance, that is all you can do with every player.

 

Eventually after all the will he wont he of January we've now got a very talented 22year old lad up front that's like a new signing for us. Added to that the clubs identified a 20 year old with bags of potential who's itching to set his career blossoming. He may be more Neil Tolson than Nakki Wells, who know's, however Im going to sure as hell enjoy watching him try more than a 36 year old that should have hung his boots up 2years ago. Im pleased with CK's signing. Hope he makes you eat your words.

 

Rowe had plenty of ability, certainly good enough to be a football league player.

What he lacked was the desire and hunger, he just didn't want it enough.

 

Boro fans seem shocked he's gone permanent few thought he had potential to make it there.give the lad a chance mite prove to be a good signing. Good age makes a change from old has beens.

 

Good luck to the kid. At the start of his career, lets hope he develops well. Its not like anything he does this season is going to matter anyway really, so if he can bed in and be an important player next season, all well and good.

 

Which one of them was a promising 20-year-old from the Championship?

By your logic, we should just give up on signing any players because we have previously signed players who were crap. There's no logic at all in your argument. You may want to rethink your approach

 

Very much like the lad so far. Also how many times have we come up against a top knot with a bit of swagger, it’s about time we had one of our own.
