djchapsticks Posted July 28, 2018 Report Share Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) The Hornby rumour has reared it's head again. Haven't heard anything of Charsley though. Quick read up on him though seems to show he can play across the midfield but prefers no 10 or either wing. He was also Everton U23s top scorer the season before last.

Very promising, let’s hope it comes off (for both of them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyg Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 I see Charsley has played left back for the Everton first-team in Europe ! Hope we get the two of them ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian Banjos Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Given Stubbs' history it's a surprise we haven't brought in a young player from Everton yet. They're probably holding on to see if they get can get them out to the English Championship or League 1. Might be last minute deals at the end of the transfer window.

Magic Monkey Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) I am very much in favour of signing Fraser Hornby and Harry Charsley, if only because both their names makes them sound like they could have been playing inside-right for Blackpool in the 1950s. Quote Charsley crosses to Hornby... it's a goal! What a marvellous shot! The Paisley Saints have taken the lead!

Seemingly Charsley's first name is actually Henry, but he is known as Harry. How thoroughly splendid it would be if he did sign and we were able to shout "hooray Henry!" when he contrived to complete an effective pass or scored a topper of a goal.

Maboza Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Watched a couple of the Toulon U21 games where Hornby was playing up front. I thought he looked awful to be honest. Big hulking lad but I thought his touch, link up play and shooting was all sadly lacking - in the games I watched at least. Similar to Oli Burke, he was just lumbering around up front and not doing much when he got service. Both were outshone by Mikey Johnstone who I would love us to get at the end of August if Celtic decide to let him go out on loan. I'd rather a more established and experienced striker than Hornby.

I think I read somewhere that he has only recently changed position from midfield to centre forward. As such, he cannot have had a great deal of experience as a striker. On that basis, I tend to agree that he might not be what we require just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet, he's playing at Everton and not East Fife. Harry Kane was anonymous in the 3 post WC games including a sitter or two. If you watched him you wouldn't consider him that good yet look at his league performance. Hard to judge how any player will fit into a team - Mooy anyone?

I understand the argument that if you're good enough you're old enough, but we ideally should be looking for someone with a bit more experience to come in - easy to say, I appreciate. Anyway, as with all potential signings, we need to trust that the manager is best placed to judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deary me.Surely what we need is good players?Harry Kane was once a young striker who had been converted from a midfielder.You’d have turned him down in favour of some experienced journeyman striker like Denis Wyness or Jim Hamilton!
