Looking forward to seeing what this guy can do, he’s young, keen, and desperate to impress.

However, judging from Hurst’s interview, I think this deal has been done outside of his comfort zone (ie Pepple was likely not a player even remotely on his radar, he’s never seen him play) and is probably a token gesture as part of the McAtee deal. Which is the total opposite of Hurst’s usual meticulous scouting and cautious transfer policy.

I do think he will take a few weeks to settle into our high tempo training and style of play.

So I hope the fans give him the chance to adjust, and he could very well set this league alight and bang 25 goals this season.

As PH says in his interview.... it's a bit of a gamble.

But it's a gamble that won't affect us too much if he's not as good as Luton hope he is.

It's an interesting one. From the videos, he looks like very athletic with pace and strength, something we lack in attack. If he's got some good footballing ability alongside, could be a great signing. He comes across really well though and is clearly enthusiastic, so I'm sure he'll learn a lot while here too.

If the club are paying a proportion of McAtee's wages or a loan fee is part of the deal then it's not as good a deal now because we are paying for an injured player.

Just out of interest, if we hadn't sold him.. he'd still be injured,  so who are you expecting would be paying his wages then?

I would imagine we will be paying him the same wage as we would have been for this year of his contract, with Luton paying any difference.

You'd think Pepple will be able to learn a lot from Taylor so a good opportunity for him to develop here. I tend to think we'll not see a huge amount of him until he settles in and gets used to the pace of the game, unless he really is a proper prospect for the future.

Would be nice to have a young loannee of the ability of Patterson at the club again.

If he learns to deal with much better defenders than in the videos then he could be a surprise package. Fitness should be OK but decision making will take a few matches. He seems to enjoy the press so that may help replace that side of McAtee's game. Making the ball stick in the final third is where we are short sometimes.

Watching Barrow, Orient, Sutton et al, League 2 is all about making possession near the box count. Getting shots away and following up are key. Just like our equaliser on Saturday.

When we were in the Championship in the 80s it was rumoured that we tried to buy another 19 year old from Leicester.   Gary Lineker turned out to be at least half decent.
