We seem to like Midfielders who have a surname starting with M, and players called Williams of late. George, Joe, Ben now Jordan.
No interest anymore in bringing lads through in their own academy, so no point him being there. They weren't that good at bringing youth through to begin with. Can't think of a batch of youngsters they have brought through as regulars since Clarke brothers and Jon Worthington at least a decade ago.
Im sure I read in the examiner a while back they were closing their academy completely? Edit: they were considering scrapping altogether last year but downgraded it instead.
It seems a strange on in a way, but I'm sure Stendel is looking at how we are going to set up for games. Maybe his lad can play a wing back role. If we keep winning 4-0 each week I'm not going to question his methods.
We certainly like a 'Williams' at full-back don't we! Jordan, Ben, George, Tom and Robbie (unless you are Simon Davey).
Even Gareth going back to the Machin dynasty (though somehow played his final games as a makeshift striker.
there was a picture on facebook of photographers taking shots of a new player ... I am assuming its him.
There was also a screen shot of a new player video on ifollow showing we had signed him. Was taken down quite sharpish mind!
Yeah its on twitter in't it.. Might be saving it for t'morra tho, so it looks like a deadline day signing.. #maximumimpact
Could be. Hopefully we're signing the Rochdale winger Jordan Williams. It would be worth a hundred grand just for comedy value.
Or Gordon Williams https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Williams_(footballer) Still played more games than Kevin Dixon..
Looks promising, could be worth a short term deal. Though doesn't the fact that he's going to be 90 next year put him outside the scope of the spreadsheet? Perhaps we could make an exception like we did with Hammill........
