richwwtk Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Not sure he ever played for the first team, but he was certainly knocking around the squad for a couple of years. I presumed he'd sunk into obscurity but it's kinda nice to know he's still playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 He was the 'next big thing' according to the EP when he signed. I think he was released from Arsenal with a 'massive' sell on cause.I don't think he ever made a first team appearence and soon was released after everyone realised that he was indeed aload of rubbish!

WARWICK RED Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 signed just after andy cole was sold i think remember osman going on about how good he was but don't think he kicked a ball for the 1st team !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Well after Osman or Cole, my friend, as he was a John Ward signing, a central midfielder from Arsenal's reserves, far too lightweight, never got near our first team, he hung around the reserves here for a year or so and then moved to a lower division Italian team, he's in Serie A now with Treviso, though.
