Embleton signs 'til end of season

Whoop.

Till end of season

Brilliant!

Hendrie next.  

Excellent result.

Terrific signing!!

If Sunderland go up, could we see Elliott released and potentially sign for us permanently?

Great news and shows we are moving in the right direction.

Great bit of business.

Quite surprised. Thought Sunderland would want him for their promotion push. But this is really good news and maybe we can make a promotion push of our own!

Must be a mistake, wasn't we informed he was joining Lincoln???

Brilliant, great young player whos going to go places, this might be more important than any new players that could come in

Fantastic news.

This along with Vernam not being injured as feared are massive positives for us, even if we do no major inward business this month.

I said on the Vernam thread that CV has scored or assisted 10 goals this season. Embleton isn't far behind, on 7. Losing these two at a similar time would've been hard to cover for.

Great news.

More whoop from me.

Quoted from Mariner Timsky

Must be a mistake, wasn't we informed he was joining Lincoln???

If he went there who would he pass to, they would all be charging towards the penalty spot looking for a big hoof!

Keeps our midfield young energetic and skillful....really pleased with this,  you only have to look at Vernham who Derby had big hopes for and he chose Grimsby, where he knew he'd get to play games rather than staying there and warming the bench or playing for the reserves, maybe just maybe Embleton see's it the same way and could end up on a permanent deal come next season ...

Fantastic news !!!!!!

He couldn't as you can't play for 3 teams in a season and he turned out for Sunderland in the EFL cup.

Great news though!

Plus Elliot thinks Danny Cowley is a cnt  

Do well to see a better piece of business at this level during this window.

Makes sense like i said on another thread. win win all round

I refuse to believe this. neileardleyscrossing definitely said he was off there in January  

Best news this year  

Quoted from quebec38

….and I'm convinced he isn't " economical with the truth" or a " perpertrater of terminological inexactitudes " !!! Then again he supports Lincoln!!

neileardleyscrossing shows some humility and self-awareness and out of embarrassment never posts on the Fishy again.

Embleton stays til the season's end.

Win, win

A Jolly good bit of business. UTMM

Oh that is first class

It's only a loan...

Looking beyond this season, signing Luke Hendrie permanently would be even better in my opinion. We're really lucky to have Embo for another twenty odd games, but we could end up having Hendrie as our right back for a couple of hundred games or more if we get him signed up..

The two cases are different

Embleton has been allowed to remain as part of his development. Sunderland made Max Power a permanent transfer and think Embleton will leave us at end of season

Hendrie does not seem to be wanted by Shrewsbury and is out of contact at end of season. He can easily travel between his family and GTFC and could be playing in league 1 next year, or maybe not...😩
Either way he will be ok with us for this season plus another.

I think it’s a really useful signing in moving towards the model that Jolley wants and the fans asked for - a squad of young local lads coming through alongside a core of experienced players with some quality loans from further up the pyramid.

If we can show we’ve taken an England u21 international and had a positive impact on his development over a season, this will stand us in good stead when trying to convince other clubs to let us take their prospects on loan.

Agree.
He's a very good player and it's a great piece of work by us.

Don’t want to be pedantic but Under 20 defo a significance between both in terms of value and development

Quality continuation - hope that Jolley can persuade 2 or 3 more similar players to enhance numbers and increase competition for places.

Genuine pace and ball control wherever they play combined with a good team.spirit - no more money chasers as in previous years !!

For us I think the important part is being able to show clubs the games and opportunities weve given to loanees, a long term benefit for us rather than the short termism of using loanees as is convinient at the time

I agree with you, Luton loaned us Famewo because of Jolley approach to the game, stood us good stead getting Embleton, but Henderson coming here and getting games also Dyson we put ourselves out there.

Plus playing our own youth and wanting to bring players through is something I haven't seen since the likes of Bore, Andy Taylor, North and Bennett.

Good news for Town this and clearly other Clubs are happy with how GTFC are now helping develop young player`s . Tick in the box for our Club and a great bonus for us fan`s we have a quality midfielder til the end of Season.

Sorry, not sure I see your point?  Loan or not, it's still a brilliant piece of business in my opinion.  To be honest I would really struggle how anyone could see it as anything else, from a GTFC perspective anyway.

I liked Hendrie, I really do.  I think he's got better with more games and on his natural right side he's looked quality.  However we've now got RHJ back and whilst I would have no issue with the pair competing for a starting place, I think Hendrie is a player we could reluctantly afford to lose, mainly because we've got someone capable of playing in his position.

Embleton on the other hand is someone I think we would have really, really struggled to replace.  I would go as far as saying that the system we've had recent success with is centred very much around that one player.  He's the one who gets us going, sets our tempo, dictates our play and is at the heart of an awful lot of what we do.  It's a team game and he's very well supported by the likes of Clifton, Hessenthaler etc. but he's the standout quality that we would miss and fail to replace in my opinion.

I do hope we sign Hendrie on a permanent deal though, at the very least extend his loan until the end of the season.

I think Hendrie is comfortably our best defender reads the game well and comfortable on the ball.

Embleton and Clifton have a very good understanding in the centre of the park, plus Hess is playing more he, too, is working well. A midfield three or a wide CM (Embleton) seems to be MJ preferred style.

Have we had a more cohesive CM combination since Disley and Clay?

Quoted from 1mickylyons

Wouldn't disagree with that to be honest.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I want us to not sign Hendrie, far from it.  I just think Embleton is more important in the sense that we've no-one else remotely close to what he can offer.
