At least it's another body :smile:

 

[Jam_Man]

Odd one, he isnt a centre half?

 

[Tommy2holes]

White in the centre and O'Neil at right back

 

[geoffmundo]

Odd one, he isnt a centre half?

John White can play there though....?

 

[Ricey]

And strange that it's an emergency loan for someone we have been looking at for a while!

He'll play White as a centre half if we have an injury to Barrett or Prosser I suppose.

 

[RHB]

Odd one, he isnt a centre half?

But he is a full back which frees up John White to temporarily fill in at CB if necessary.

John White can play there though....?

Yes indeed, but its putting a square peg in a round hole. From what Phil Brown was saying he wanted to bring someone in to play on the right side centre half.

Great signing that and adds some much needed depth.

And strange that it's an emergency loan for someone we have been looking at for a while!

Probably an emergency loan so that he's registered to be able to play this weekend while the details of a longer deal are sorted out.

or just axe our captain and have a quick right back:omg:

 

[BoyWonder2]

Happy with this, but a bit of an odd one.

John White is NOT a centre back. He can fill in during a game, but if he was starting a game at centre back I'd be extremely worried.

I'd rather have seen an out and out centre back arrive to be honest.

 

[Jam_Man]

The other thing is, Brown said they have already sorted out the team and whoever it is will be on the bench, so he wont start anyway.

It will be Barrett/Prosser so he has the option to move White over and bring on O'Neill if need be.

Bolger aside its a good signing as we are lacking fullback cover and he provides that.

I given your suggestion some considerable thought before responding. My measured response is ''bollocks":smiles:

 

[Shrimper]

My abiding memory of him is pinging across a sublime ball and then promptly being injured?

 

[Silencer]

Why hasn't our Twitter site or local rag reported this yet!!!???!!

 

[Blues 'n twos]

Not happy with the suggestions that John White partners AB as centre halfs, while they are both good readers of the game, neither are the quickest/ mobile

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

John White as centre back, no thanks. He's O.K. on the ground, but any big forward will dominate him in the air.

 

[geoffmundo]

Maybe he's the first of many coming ion over the next 12 hours or so.....?

 

[OldBlueLady]

Let's hope he lasts a bit longer than he did last time! Liked the look of him in what little we saw.
