Bid rejected according to journos on Twitter. https://x.com/JacobsBen/status/1947606236934857209?t=3r5Z_G8tfyYCEgkj4Jr6-g&s=19 Someone I actually suggested a few weeks ago. Really talented young RW from Cheltenham. Only got a year left on his current deal I believe.
I agree. Be the perfect competition/rotation for Jalo on that right hand side. Very similar profile/style of player
They asked for 250k. We offered 250k and our media department staff. They turned it down and said come back when we offer 250k.
He’s got a black and white shirt on in most of that. His previous club was Bath City who play in that strip. I didn’t watch it to the end but clearly this reel is from his non-league days
It was, but in those clips can see many a quality such a touch control, dribbling, good left foot and some good finishing. I’ll try find a Cheltenham highlights reel. https://youtube.com/shorts/V3TgiUNs63g?si=2m9EHzib2aRK_KTT That’s all I can find from Cheltenham games.
You get that horrible feeling where wingers is the new centre half, forward, no10... Where we end up with 3 times more than what we need, while other positions we have to fit square pegs.
I'm in complete agreement about not arguing the toss over a £250k fee, if Hourihane really feels he could make a significant contribution to our squad. It took us ages to agree the fee for DKD. That turned out ok in the end, admittedly, but, in view of his excellent stats with Mansfield, I was worried and very surprised that another club didn't beat us to his signature. We might not be so lucky this time, if this lad is any good.
Not really. Wingers on our books: Cleary, Jalo, Farrugia, Vickers. (DKD CAN play there) But if one or two get injured - and Jalo currently is with no idea when he’s back other than hearing he will miss start of the season - then we’d be left short.
