    So what 'type' of midfielder is he?

    If we assume KR wants to go 4231 which role does he fit best? The number 10 or one of the deeper roles..

    From what I've read (only seen him a couple times and not watched him in any detail) I can see Karl using him as the 10 or maybe coming in off the left.

    Possibly against weaker teams he could line up alongside Crofts and dictate play from deep. But against stronger sides we may need a bit more bite in that role....

    That's 3 players signed from Brighton! Reminds me of when we signed Nelson and Gatting and when went back to sign Johnny Robinson a year or so later then we sold Robert Lee to Newcastle!

    - Sell Dale Stephens to Brighton for £400k (?)
    - Stephens pushes JFC out of the team
    - Buy JFC from Brighton for £400k (?)

    Katrien, you really are a genius.

    Nah, just joking, hope he's dynamite. Go get em' Jakey-boy.

    Scored against us a few seasons back

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/26897492

    He came off the bench that day. I'd forgotten Jesse Lingard was on loan at Brighton at the time
    brighton also had premiership winning Ulloa scoring that day

    first thing i thought is he is this seasons Diego Poyet , not the rough diamond that left us but the nothing player who came back last year , there's my ridiculous gloom to level out the over optimistic shit

    Yes only one,

    Jake Forster - Caskey

    His name is so posh,

    He earns lots of dosh,

    There's only one JFC - that can't get in a poor Rotherham team that is losing every week ?

    However.........I think he will do well for CAFC and it's a step in the right direction.

    I do think Crofts is slightly underrated on here. At least he can pass forward

    The change of manager in the dugout presumably... plus he got his first goal for us, so has had a good week or so

    Definitely think Robinson has a huge part in this, have noticed a real difference in Crofts recently. Dictating a little more, looking for those killer passes.

    Genuinely think with Crofts and Forster-Caskey in midfield with Holmes, Aribo (maybe Reeves if we can), and Byrne (seems likely to me) - that has the makings of a good, mobile and forward thinking midfield.

    good sensible Curbs/Powell type signing.

    Has things to prove and hopefully will do so with us.

    If only we had a Curbs or Powell to do whatever they did to get underachievers back to form.

    Another addition to the double barrelled surname brigade as well.

    If the practice of taking both parents' surnames continues (don't know if it is the case with our players) we will end up with quadruple barrelled names:
    Imagine trying to get Forster-Caskey-Ahearne-Grant on the back of a shirt.

    You were working as a sub on a cold northern bench
    When we saw you
    We tapped you up then signed you up and drove you down
    We told you that our club weren't poo
    Now one day later on you've got duck tape on your feet
    Success won't be so easy for you
    You won't forget it's us that brought you where you are now
    You'll soon be playing in Leage two

    Etc.....

    Could be a good signing. Who knows but he is 'cultured' so that's a first with this mob. Who is the last 'cultured' player we've had?
