If carlsberg did transfer threads.....This would be it!

He could be a good un by the sounds of it

And TBH he can't be any worse than Danns, so for me NL can throw him straight in at Preston

He no doubt will as a right back...

whys that then - not noticed NL being particularly prone to that

anyway - this was posted in August by an australian wolves fan on one of their forums

Luke Brattan Not a name obvious to a lot on here. Plays for Brisbane Roar but could be available on a free. I think he is an excellent player. Better than Jedinak from Palace when he was over here. Very good passer and isnt afraid to get stuck in either. I think he could be an absolute steal for any club in the championship personally.

Hope springs eternal and all that, but may turn out to be a pity that its only to Jan.

If he is better than Jedinak he'll be our best player.

Not to be sniffed at.

Big if, I think. In FFT Australia's top 50, Jedinak was No.3, Brattan No.47. Things change, of course, but...

Forgot that Freedman was trying to bring Jedinak to Bolton. Imagine where we might be with Dawson, Jedinak, Juke and my auntie wearing my uncle's bollocks.

Indeed, on both counts.

Though up to now your aunt's been a disappointment.

If he can grab the game by the scruff of the neck then that's good en op for me! We haven't got anyone like that either.

[BWFC_Insane]

A big defensive midfield player? It is exactly what we need. Sounds good to me.

According to some he's a playmaker type. Love the enthusiasm though. Keep it up!

Ivan Campo....Ivan Campo....

Isn't the Nou Campo already here, playing at right-back?

[Enoch]

You can never have enough Campos

Don't ruin it! A big, hulking DM is what we've been crying out for for months, and that is what we've now got! Whether he's a playmaker or not, he'll have to adapt!

He's the same height as Moxey, two inches shorter than Trotter...

Perhaps, but it might block the shower-drains.

]He's the same height as Moxey, two inches shorter than Trotter...

There's another thing: A short time back Moxey was getting all the good words and suddenly he isn't in the team. Is he injured?

Edit: Apparently, he has a toe injury.

He was. Not made it back to the bench yet so maybe he still is.

Right I'll stick my neck out - if Lennon plays this new midfielder from City he'll be a good un, and he'll improve the way we play, he's 6ft tall apparently gets stuck in and is a good passer of the ball - exactly the type of player that we need.

I know he's only here until 3rd Jan but if we give him regular game time & start him I'm sure that City will let him stay all season as I doubt he'll get in City's midfield for a good few years.

If him & Ameobi start against PNE we will win....

that's the spirit!

all players are ace until proven crap!

Depends whether they need him as English ballast in the CL/PL squads.

By the way, PT, I do genuinely love how you swing to this kind of rampant optimism from the equally certain negativity on the Bedsheets thread. Hope springs eternal in the hearts of football fans.

Its my split personality DSB....

I so want us to do well, and therefore any half decent signing gets me all optimistic only for it to be quickly quashed on match days !!

Melbourne based Wanderer here... Brattan has been very decent in the A-League for the last couple of years, and a stand out in Brisbane's midfield. But that doesn't always translate to the Championship. Going in his favour are he's decent on the ball, throws his weight around and isn't afraid of taking a shot.

The pathway Brattan has taken (spend your early pro career in Australia, develop and then head to Europe) seems to be the way to go for many now. See Jedinak and Mat Ryan at Valencia.

Others in the past have headed to England too soon, and their development has stunted. Aaron Mooy is a good example, and familiar to BWFC. Never made the grade at Bolton, came back to Australia and has grown to be one of the premier midfielders in the A-League. I wouldn't be surprised to see Mooy back over in Europe sometime soon.
