Dave Jones: "We have agreed to loan Lavery to Southend" #swfc

Great, another youngster! We need some experience! I mean who is he? Is he any good?

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

So Freddy and Harris now 5th/6th choice? Who wouldve thought.

It's a risk but I suppose people were saying the same thing when Britt arrived...........let's hope he can have the same impact. Interesting that we were also after the Millwall midfielder, will please many on here that Luggy believes it's an area we need to strengthen........even if this particular loan didn't come off.

According to a Wednesday fan he's shown some promise in the stiffs.

He looks okay playing in those under-10 games on that video.

Caolan Lavery

Did his parents just press random letters on the keyboard to come up with that?

Ah well... I suppose his brother Rhuhsfd came out of it worse.

"Suppose to be one for the future,got on the bench a couple of times but didnt end up coming on.Really hope he shows what a good prospect he is gunna be by banging in a few for southend."

Britt seems to have coped ok

 

[superblue24]

*sigh* Another Striker......We need another midfielder and a LB well before this guy!!

Good luck n'all, but how is he going to score if the supply line is weak?

Another Jonson Clarke-Harris all over again if you ask me.....

Britt seems to have coped ok

He is one in a hundred

Youngsters who have failed;
- Nathaniel Jarvis
- Antonio German
- johnson Clarke-Harris

 

[danburyshrimper]

Is this really what we need at the moment ?

If he was big un in the Barry Corr mould , then i could understand it , but he's a kid of 5 foot 11 so i dont see him filling the "number 9 " role that we need cover for. We have plenty of smaller strikers already...... Even more under whelmed than the Spillane signing .




...... but i do trust in Sturrock so i wish him well ..... but he's no Paul Benson

Give the lad a chance , he's not even here yet and you're already questioning how he's going to score :winking:

Why isnt Theo Robinson on that list ?

We are actually very light up front at the moment.

Tomlin.
Britt- injured and struggling to get back
Eastwood - Injured
Corr- Struggles to play two in a row.
Harris - Just returned from injury
Benyon - Bengone ?

Ha. Just an educated guess, I assure you :winking:

I don't think too many comparisons can be made with Britt. Although Britt's actually younger than Lavery, we're the third club to benefit from Britt's services. He had senior experience prior to coming here, and Watford have been careful in his development.

That said, there's nothing that should prohibit Lavery from performing here. This is exactly what the newly-founded U21 competition is supposed to do; prepare young players with potential for competitive football by placing them in a similar environment. Wednesday have used their U21 side to bring senior players back to fitness too, so he'll have played with and against some seasoned professionals. Although he hasn't been amongst the goals, I gather he's been a continual thorn in opposition sides when he's played.

but he's no Paul Benson

He's not costing us what Benson would, either...
