I like how the "spreadsheet" has been tweaked of late. We still rely on young players, both punts from lower league and academy grown. However, we are now adding not only a couple of seasoned professionals to help these kids develop, Hourihane and Roberts, but also players in between these ages who can hopefully hit the ground running. Well done the Board!
“Subject to visa and international clearance”, hope he’s brought an Xbox and some books, see you in Jan for your debut.
Doesn’t seem to spend longer than a year at any of his previous clubs - so a little brave to be handing him a 3yr deal.
Could be a great signing. Looks like Clarke favours the diamond. Gaga. MDG, Roberts, Earl. Craig/Hourihane Russell, Connell, Phillips/ Nwakali Cotter, Cosgrave, Lofthouse
Just seen on Twitter that he got fined for being on his phone whilst sat on the bench… I’m sure Clarke will knock that out of him!
Looks like a quality player but not someone I can see from his highlights running past defenders into the box and scoring goals. We need to sign proven strikers who know where the back of the net is. We have lost 35 goals in Cole and McAtee and brought in nobody as yet. Failure to do so is going to lead to a frustrating season watching chances wasted time and time again.
He hardly looks like a replacement for Phillips. He scored 1 goal and provided 4 assists in 32 games last season.
