I have few Imps supporting friends and when asked I said in my opinion great player very exciting BUT not really a traditional Imps type player . I don’t know why but to me they have always since 70s been a strong long ball side and their fans seem to like that type of football and not sure Charlie fits that?


We’ve gone from one extreme to the other since the ‘model’ changed under Appleton. Technically as good as anyone on our day last season, but a soft touch at the back and powder puff up top …. I’m sure there is a happy medium somewhere, which hopefully Kennedy will exploit.

Paudie O’Connor appears to be a younger version of Waterfall, and we both know what a big game player he is.

I think Vernam will do well for you, he can be electric. Yes, a bit hit-and-miss, but I would have had him here in a flash.

i tend to agree, although i think it's a real 50/50 signing. will be very interested to see how it goes. thinks its unfair to say the imps are kick n rush. wasn't that the very reason appleton was brought in? i.e. to make them a 'better' team?

He will be frustrating with flashes of what he could maybe do until his contract nears its end then he will be brilliant for a few games. The fact he couldn’t get in the team and we sent him to non league for a bit and then many were disappointed when he left sums him up

On his day, a really skilful, damaging, effective player. Just not his day that often.

Vernams inability to be consistent is the reason he’s bobbed around leagues 1 and 2 and has found his way to Lincoln.

Can be great and will change games but that’ll be once every 5/6 games.

It’s a solid signing for Lincoln but given we’re not sure on what the ambition is, it’s not really a stand out, marquee signing, not for me anyway.

I’d have had him back here but if you were to compare him to Mcatee, I know which I’d prefer.

Times last season when Mcatee was seemingly quiet and then up he’d pop with a significant goal or a great assist, that jjst didn’t happen enough with Vernam.
