GrahamC Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Saw one of his few full 90 minutes for the U21s, when he was really poor. Think we therefore realised quite soon that his best days are behind him, at least this time not with the albatross of a two or three year contract, though..

Esmond Million's Bung Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Cover for midfield What like an umbrella in case they got wet whilst exposed to the elements. in all honesty it was refreshing that we managed to sign an extra midfielder, who was considered worse than the midfielders we already had, boy he must have been shit, quite an achievement really.

Monkeh Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 at the time seemed good not many people moaning about it, in hindsight it was a waste of resources but no one has crystal ball so couldn't predict that it wouldn't work out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
