Starting to wonder why we bought this guy. Even when fit, Carlos doesn't seem to fancy the player. Is he decent? A loan move might do him some good?

A couple or so that we have signed are pinching money that we can't afford to spend.Clown who signed em should pay em out of his own pocket.

Fair enough he hasn't set the world on fire but to say he's "pinching money" is a bit OTT don't you think?

Aarons was loaned out 5 times while at Newcastle after signing as a 17 year old. He's only played 70 games in 8 years , most of those while out on loan. You have to think that having been turend down by so many clubs , and soon to be 26yo (Nov), he's either a late developer or just not good enough. I suppose he might respond to some stability at Town with a 2.5 year contract but whether the comparison of his style with that of Raheem Sterling will ever deliver the goods who knows. He's only been with us 9 months, but you'd have though there was space for him out on the left as a sub for Town...if he shows any promise on the training ground.

He showed some promise last season before injury. As sure as eggs are eggs, he'll be needed at some point this season and it's up to him to take the chance.

I think he's been unlucky that Sorba Thomas has been a surprise. CC earlier in September - "I’ll be honest: my idea at the beginning of the [season], in my perspective I was not thinking that Sorba Thomas was one of the first XI players of the team" It was same last season, CC admitted he had no real thoughts of Koroma being a regular last season, but then he quickly became undroppable. I think what he's saying is he's not very good at identifying attacking dangerous exciting players that can win games?!

It’s great that we have options when needed at last.

Some managers, Wagner included, often held some players back for parts of the season .
I’m not for a second saying CC is but think down the line we’ll see lots more of Aarons, Mipo, Ruffels and maybe even some youngsters

just coming back from injury. he's only been available for the last 2 games and I'm not sure how much use he'd have been in either off the bench. Good to have the option again though, takes all sorts of players in depth to make a good team.

The guy seems hugely unlucky.
* Injuries he had at Newcastle frequently curtailing his development. * Gets a move to a Championship club to kickstart his career, only for the paperwork to not go through in time. * Finally completes move, takes a while to get up to speed but just as he's starting to look like a player (performances vs Brizzle & Luton prior to his injury looked very promising), he gets injured again. * In the meantime, since he was identified as said championship club's "Number 1 Target": i) Josh Koroma has performed at a much higher level than expected. ii) Aaron Rowe emerged as a genuine talent. iii) Sorba Thomas signed & surpassed even the most optimistic expectations anyone had of him iv) Pat Jones emerged as a promising prospect v) Danny Grant will be further competition for his place before long.

From the glimpses I've seen, his decision making was poor but totally unfair to write him off yet. He needs a long run of games to improve but he won't get it whilst Thomas and Koroma continue to hold the shirts. He'll have to bide his time, hope to stay injury free and take his chance when it comes. Coming into a side playing well should help him.

To re-emphasise the point - most of the wingers at the club have either been signed since Aarons was identified, or have emerged as being significantly better than expected since his identification last summer.
Bear in mind that when we originally wanted to sign him at the start of least season, he was coming in to take the place of Karlan Grant, and the other wingers at the club were Diakhaby & Mbenza (the latter of the two was still to have his one purple patch). We had a dearth of wingers at the time. I think that (and the possibility of getting a player who had been undervalued due to bad luck) is a big part of why we signed him.

Anyone know the situation with Rolando Aarons? I just remembered he ‘plays’ for us.

Feel for the lad as he has had zero luck with injuries, he's another Mark Barham, for those of us old enough to remember him.

I saw Rizz wondering about post game on Saturday. He looked not well, had a thin coat on and town tracksuit bottoms, shaking like a sh**ing dog as was that cold and looked thin. Was wondering into the box area looking sorry for himself.
I thought why hasn’t he got a decent coat on and geared up.

http://instagr.am/p/CcqEmZbMONM And an article on Examiner about him. Am I the only one who’d rather see a Danny Grant/Pat Jones/Aaron Rowe feature instead ? No, you're not the only one. One conclusion I managed to draw from watching him last season was that he is a player who needs games to get into his stride. He started poorly, then got gradually better, each performance better than the last before his injury. However whilst I'd be happy for him to spend the next couple of games shaking the rust off, he needs to be rust free by the time the playoffs come around & I expect that even if he's ready to play a part vs Coventry, it's not enough time for him to get up to speed by the important 2-3 games at the end of the season. That said.... I'm glad he's back from injury. He gives us competition for places & another option and that's always welcome. Particularly at a time when Sorba, Koroma & Sinani are all injured, and Anjorin yet to find his feet. Good to see that he has a positive attitude too.

If the lad can stay injury free, then he could be a key player next term - especially if Koroma goes as I’d expect him to.

Koroma never hit the highs this season for some reason...just 4 goals and looks over weight or maybe muscle bound (like Russell), not quite as sharp or pacy and seems to take an eternity to get the ball on to his 'right' foot...shame , but if we're aspiring to improve the squad then he would likely free up a space..
