Quoted from Gloucestershire Live | Posted: 1 February 2024, 8:56 am
Former Notts County and Wycombe Wanderers midfielder Curtis Thompson set to leave Cheltenham Town for Grimsby Town

Curtis Thompson is set to leave Cheltenham Town for League Two club Grimsby Town on transfer deadline day.

The 30-year-old midfielder has made 22 appearances since joining the Robins from Wycombe Wanderers last summer.

He signed a one-year deal after appearing in the final pre-season friendly against Newport County and went on for his debut against Shrewsbury Town on the opening day of the season following an injury to Elliot Bonds.

His last start was the New Year’s Day defeat at Northampton Town, when he was substituted after 70 minutes.

He went on from the bench in the home win over Portsmouth and in last Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Derby County.

Cheltenham have added Josh Harrop and Liam Kinsella to their midfield options this month, as well as Tom Pett extending his contract until the end of the season.

On paper, would be quite impressive. Was a regular in Wycombe’s promotion season from League One a few years back and their subsequent season in the Championship. Didn’t play a lot last season due to injury however.

Seems to be fit currently mind, having played at Derby at the weekend.

Bit of a fuller breakdown on here;

On the face of it, knowing very little about him at all, it looks a decent signing.

Exactly the sort i was hoping for. Matches the description of someone who has been training with us all week. Described as a 'ratter' who likes a tackle, and distributes safely, if unspectacularly. Good comparison is our our old player Brendan Comley apparently

A friend of mine who supports Wycombe reckons he's a good signing for L2. Gets around the pitch well and breaks things up. Sounds like he's the replacement for Conteh. Plus he's a good age and played the majority of his 226 league games in higher divisions. Good signing if true.

Below is a message I got from my son who’s a Wycombe Wanderers supporter. Don’t go there, I know!!!

Absolute class.  So much time on the ball.  Makes everything look effortless. Only problem is he has polystyrene knees.  He was injured on and off constantly and just couldn’t avoid injury so we didn’t renew his contract. He’d be sitting in our midfield now if he could stay fit.  He was injured more than was available, but if you get him fit he was so good. Defensive midfielder.  Does the dirty work winning the ball back but so classy doing it.

From when he signed for Cheltenham last summer.

https://www.ctfc.com/news/2023/august/curtis-thompson-becomes-a-robin/

Quoted Text
"I'm a midfielder who likes to get stuck in with tenacity and I like to try and get on the ball as much as possible.

"I want to be positive, drive the team and work really hard in every single game I play."


Based solely on that description of himself and his underlying stats, he definitely doesn't look to be the sort who will create/score.  But more of a natural Conteh fit, that one who protects and dictates from deep.

On paper, looks positive.  We'll wait and see...

Quote from a Cheltenham fan on TFF:

"If you can keep him fit, he's an outstanding signing - he's only fallen down our pecking order because he can't seem to do 90 mins.

Technically, he's a League 1 standard player.'

Let’s hope Dave Moore gives him the magic sponge Eisa has had this season.
