    Following in the footsteps of the Belgians by looks of things. The silence about him says a lot.

    DKD is a midfielder this season (he was a forward on this page last year). And whilst Farrugia was a defender on it last year, he’s now a forward.

    Also, Jackson Smith looks like a psychopath.

    What’s the latest with him ? Has he where returned? If not is it looking like his contract will be terminated

    I'm guessing here, but the fact that we haven't managed to grab a photo of him means he hasn't returned.

    You'd think they could be bothered to take a photo of club staff to put up on the linnk.

    I see that the squad numbers are missing for several players. Maybe having a reshuffle?

    It seems a strange situation, presumably he's doing a pre season somewhere ?
    Yet another of our recent signings that we're trying to move on.

    None of the new signings have a number. They haven't announced the squad numbers for this season.

    If only it was publicised that he had previously fallen out with clubs he played for ;) due diligence obviously overlooked that.

    I'm more bothered about the diligence we did on him being completely unsuitable for a League One football team.

    It really is a strange one. If you looked up salaries. (How accurate I've no idea) He is the highest paid at the club. Terminating his contract if he has no valid excuse to return to training is an absolute minefield of problems,

    He is a very good footballer, no doubt, And that showed when he came on as sub. At the early games. I wasn't overawed when he started em.

    think it must consist of he’s got two legs and a pulse anything else is a bonus.

    Given he's under contract, and the precarious position of the clubs finances, I'd imagine they'll try to recoup some of the fee we paid for him.

    Unfortunately I don't have any club insiders drip feeding me propaganda so I have no idea what's supposedly gone off but why is everyone talking like he's killed someone?

    I think he's just decided not to bother turning up by the looks of it.

    I started the thread and I'm pretty sure I'm not talking like he's killed someone.
