Signs a season long loan from Leeds United.

Welcome!

Bate as playmaker.
Brannagan box to box.
Macguane / Gorrin holding.

Sounds pretty decent to me. Hope the lad hits the ground running.

Exciting signing, and one that we really needed. Sounds like an 8 - but can play deeper. Lots of similarities to CB.

This was one of the key positions that we needed to fill alongside the full backs, and another forward.

Well done to the club, and manager

Very exciting signing. Leeds fans rate him highly. Played a few games in the prem and represented england at u17, u18 and u20. Sounds like an upgrade on herbie kane.

 

[Sarge]

looking forward to seeing what he can do, welcome aboard Lewis

Strong eyebrow game. Imposing but controlled.

He’ll do.

 

[Malc]

Welcome Lewis. Enjoy your time at the Yellows.

 

[greatunclekip]

Very good signing, very highly regarded. Well done club and Robbo.

 

[Manorlounger]

Strong eyebrow game. Imposing but controlled.

He’ll do.

Sad to say he didn't pass the test of Mrs Lounger. Those eyebrows! Still, I've got my clippers ready so he might get the call yet.

 

[Marked Ox]

Welcome Lewis. Hope you enjoy your stay and have a lot of success.

 

[unification]

Welcome Master Bate!

Hope no one rubs him up the wrong way that we’ll have to toss him off back to Leeds. He’ll come good I’m sure and ensure we haven’t spaffed our money up the wall.

Video highlights here:

Appears to be a Herbie Kane type, creative, great left peg, good vision and control, but moves the ball quicker. Let's hope he doesn't get caught in possession too often ala Herbie.

Welcome Lewi, hope you have a successful and enjoyable time with the Yellows

Watching that* although he isn't the biggest, he doesn't look easy to knock off the ball.

*with the huge caveat that it is one of those type of videos.

Welcome to OUFC Lewis. Hope your time goes well here.

 

[MC Yellow]

The boy can certainly find a pass.

Looks an exciting prospect.

Welcome.

There’s always one who has to lower the tone.

Disappointing.

Disappointing.

Don't be so hard on them.
