One of the good things about playing in a lower league is that it becomes much, much more likely that we will unearth a real quality player for next-to-nothing. Drew's example of David Friio is a good one - we'd never have plucked an unknown player from the ether and ended up with them being a club legend while we were in the Championship.

Tbh, Seip, Timar and Halmosi were all pretty much unheard of and were fanstastic for us in the CCC- cost an aggregate £500k which is nothing in that league.

So was George Donnelly.

I didn't say everyone unheard of would be great, just that it's not impossible :wink:

Granted I only saw him for one game but it was a bit of a shocker to be honest, lets hope it was only nerves etc and I'm sure the Gaffer knows what he's doing.

In a word no...pure PASOTI conjecture.....

I still haven't seen anything to say he has signed, anybody know if he has? It would be good to have an experienced RB in the squad.

????

He's a nomadic young man who seems to have spent the last few years trawling around the world looking for a club, hardly experienced.

If he's so good why didn't we sign him sooner?? Injuries / finances blah blah blah.
If he was a quality prospect we'd have snapped him up quicker, if he's here to make up the numbers we could get a loanee instead.


funny mood today,

I probably never put it right when i called him an experienced RB i meant that it would be good to have a proper RB in the squad.

Only my opinion but having watched him at Truro and Saltash he wasn't that impressive.

I did some a chappie looking like him running round Millbay yesterday afternoon, he had 28 on his training top, I see that's not an allocated number yet. So would this be extra time he's putting in himself (3pm ish) or has he been left to his own devices.

If you believe Wikipedia - he is currently training with Sheffield United!!!
