Hey all
We've just signed Joe Mattock on a three year deal, looks a promising young player to me and solves our left back problem.
Just wanted your opinions on what he's like and the amount of potential he has?
Cheers.
Joe Mattock

Mattock will be a squad player - Reda will be the 1st choice. There is a lot of compy at the moment.
I also think Reynolds will start to play under Jones...A decent player, just arrived at the wrong time.

That's funny Foxello, as he went up in the Baggies promotion season a few years back.
Nah Reynolds is terrible, and Mattock will be the first choice. He wouldn't have come here to be content with a squad place.

To be fair MASSIVE, what player does sign for a club to be content with being only a squad player?

The Championship....etc
Sadly Milan has a habit of promising things he can't deliver He promised us we'd be in the Premier League within 3 years. 5 years and one day trip to League One later.....
"Im also a tad suprised that MM has let him back in given the manner in which he left"
That's actually a really good point. The general consensus was that Mattock had let down everyone at the club and was sold ASAP. Yet Mandaric is now prepared to allow Dave Jones to sign him.
There have been suggestions that MM and NP were not bosom buddies, especially with Lee Hoos (ex CE) stirring up trouble in the background. Maybe MM actually sympathised with Mattock and understood his desire to join a club who had a better chance of being promoted, at least in the short term. Whether it's worked out for Mattock in the long term is debatable, although he was right - WBA were promoted and have survived, comfortably, 2 seasons in the PL.
But I couldn't possibly say anything bad about NP as it is a lynching offence on the LCFC section of the forum......

Well its the same here to be fair given that he's a legend around these parts too.
Also, MM did a simular thing with Meggy, he left you after 6 weeks to join Bolton, which MM wasnt pleased about, then he appoints him as our manager....then sacks him a day after beating the pigs...whilst in 3rd, Mattock, watch out sunny jim

^ Fancy a manager swap?
And yes, and he re-hired Redknapp after their original falling out. He's clearly just a very forgiving man

he clearly is
As much as a legend Big Nige is and how much we all love him, we'll stick with DJ for now thanks
