Some lunchtime reading for Argyle fans about the possible loan signing of Bolton defender Oscar Threlkeld

Looks like a good signing given his flexibility and our small squad. Made his debut at RB but played in a recent Bolton u21 game in midfield-

ARGYLE have signed Bolton Wanderers defender Oscar Threlkeld on loan.
The 20-year-old comes to Home Park from the Championship club until January 2.

Bolton-born Oscar is a product of the Trotters' Academy who has made eight appearances for his hometown club.

He was handed his first-team debut as a starter in a 3-1 win at Sheffield Wednesday at the end of Bolton's 2013-14 campaign and also played in the Trotters' dramatic 2-2 home draw against Birmingham City, when the visitors maintained their Championship status with an equaliser in the third minute of injury time. 

Last season, the right-sided player, who has regularly captained Bolton's Under-21 side, played a further six times for the Trotters in the Championship and Capital One Cup.

Oscar is following in the studmarks of fellow young Trotters defender Andy Kellett, who enjoyed a hugely successful spell at Home Park last season.

Andy played 15 times for the Pilgrims, scoring the Argyle Goal of the Season at Northampton Town and picking up the fans' Most Promising Player of the Season award. His performances in the Green also played a part in earning him a subsequent loan move to Manchester United.

Oscar will wear the number 26 shirt during his stay at Home Park.

Welcome to Argyle, Oscar.

Just what we need to bolster our average right sided options imo. As long as we don't lose anybody before the transfer window closes we might just have a squad capable of promotion.

How easy Del makes it look in bringing in fresh blood when needed

It good luck from me and good luck from him

Andy Kellett ‏@AndyKell13
Good luck to one of my close mates @oscar_threlkeld on his loan move to @Only1Argyle great club and fans! Enjoy it bud!!!!!

Good luck to the chap, hope his stay is as productive as Kellett's was.

Welcome Oscar, more good news.

Did we beat Man Utd to this one? DA probably told Van Gaal to feck off

Early days but so far the manager's signings all seem to be decent footballers.

Hope this guy is as well. Competition for Mellor presumably (who on every occasion that I've seen, has not impressed).

Mind you, I'm not easily impressed.

Yep, agree with all of that.

It is a slightly strange feeling actually looking forward to the bit between 3-5pm on a Saturday, rather than just the pre/post match drinks.

As PP says, early days but all the signs are good as far as Adams goes.

Let's hope he is twice as good as Kellett, and stays twice as long!!

Nothing like putting pressure put on the lad comparing him to Keller when no one has even heated of him let alone seen him play lol

Here Adams view on the two

Quote

It will not be lost on Argyle fans that the last player the Pilgrims borrowed from Bolton walked off with the club’s Most Promising Player and Goal of the Season awards. However, Derek said judging Oscar alongside Andy Kellett is not comparing apples with apples.

“Andy is a wing-back, small and dynamic,” he said. “Oscar’s a wee bit different; he’s a defender and we are hopeful that he can do well. He can play right-back; he can play as the sitting midfield player – they are the two positions he has played in for Bolton; he’s been captain of their Under-21 side, as well.”

Looks like the final piece in the jigsaw, welcome and good luck young man.

Good luck to the boy but hate this only till january nonsense why not for the rest of the season..dont want a repeat of what happened last jan where players returned to there own clubs and struggled to get players back in..just hope del bhey gets a few in before and not leave it till they go back this time

According to the Brent Herald, Adams wanted him in the preseason for a season long loan but the boy pick up a injury, Adams as been waiting for him to recover.

If that is the case then another tick for Del Bhey. Knows what he wants and doesn't panic.

Geddon.

Mr Brent is spoiling us with these loans. There will be tears come Jan when they all feck off cos JB won't up the minimum wage their on.
