Only on loan.

{Boo - you edited before I posted!}

yes but he's still joined torquay.

2 and a half year deal for a player like adams given his injury record is borderline insane!

good move for mohammed. lets him get some football undr his belt at a goodish standard, as opposed to most of our loaner-out players who end up at supermarine

Not even borderline in my book. I reckon Adams thought all his Christmases had come at once :shock:

I bet Adams had a real life Alan Partridge moment there, when the Torquay chairmand offered him that, maybe he even feigned a heart attack!!

Only a months loan  :(

   If the internet had been around in the days of Alan Mac, you'd have been on moaning about him only going on loan to Torquay for a month.   When he first signed up for STFC he  played mostly at right back and looked completely clueless in midfield.   Going to Torquay for a bit got him some games and experience, and he came back an improved player.

 What we know of Mohamed is that he's a bit raw, but has some talent.  He's worth persevering with for a bit longer.

no, he's shit - get rid.

Good post Reg.

Everything now has to be immediate, no one is given time, be that players or managers.

Patience, it seems, is no longer a virtue...........................

He's not shit.

How many times have you seen him play in his preferred role?

There could be a possibility that playing in front of a few welshies back in the principalities is a little different to playing in front of 7,000.

There's also a possibility that after playing for a few years up front adjusting to playing out on the wing may take a while.

I'm not saying Kaid will be the next big thing but there is a chance the lad could come through to be a good asset for us.  I hope he does, and a month at Torquay could help him get his confidence up a bit.

Just my take on things.

I agree totally with the comments about everything needing to be instant these days. People judge players and consign them to the bin so quickly it's ridiculous.

Duncan Shearer took quite a while to settle in at the club and he turned out ok I think most people agree.

One of my personal 'unsung heroes' is Tim Parkin who, for me is one of the best defenders we've ever had. Yes he was slow, yes he looked like some one had set fire to his face then tried to put it out with a shovel. BUT - no fucker ever got past him. Again though, it took him a good number of games to get into the swing of things.

Then of course we have Jan Aage Fjortoft. Almost everyone would agree that he is one of our best strikers ever. It is easy to forget though, that having signed for us in the summer of '93, he didn't score his first goal until January '94 - Some 26 games without a goal. We were on the point of loaning him out to Lillestrom when he finally broke his duck and the rest as they say, is history.

There's loads more examples but you get the idea.

Agree OST, remember the home match v Villa when a town player had their goalward bound effort basically cleared off the line by JAF?  That pretty much summed it up at that time.

Give the young lad a chance, if he's crap at Torquay and looks just as pants when he gets back then will be the time to re-evaluate the situation.

Kaid scored twice on Saturday

Did he?  I thought someone would've mentioned that on the Forest match day thread.  Surprised they didn't.

One more game and his spell is up i see.

Hes a creative player and I still think he deserves a chance here......

(Awaits to be stoned by anti-kaid brigade  :wink: )

As a Kaid supporter, or at least as someone willing to give the lad a break, I was happy to hear about his two goals on Saturday.  I hope Torquay enquire about extending his loan as a good end of season run may provide the boost of confidence he could do with!

found his level.he aint good enough for us if we are looking to push up the league.

It'll be renewed won't it...

At Swindon, he's behind Corr, Cox, Paynter, Sturrock, Roberts and Part-time striker Peacock.

If Torquay will have him, we'll put him back on loan there I'd think

Didn't Torquay want to keep him until the end of the season and is was being disucssed with Kaid to see if that is what he wanted.

It may do his long term prospects the world of good, getting him used to the rigours of english football and giving him vital experience

scored two more at the weekend. 4 in 2 games....

cureton situation again anyone?

No, he's just found his level.

aye true

Could be that he is playing as a striker and not a winger/full back/whatever other position needs filling?  Just a thought like....

combination of the two

i'm sure he's been playing out wide for turkey

Yup you'd be right i think SY.

He gets paid in Turkey? So does he get a bonus of a Turkey a goal or something?

Greedy fucker.
