    Goodness me - another 3 year deal. Is this the only way we can get players to sign by offering longer contracts than anybody else?

    Don’t know much about the lad but good luck. Let’s hope he’s more Wright than Nevers.

    Just hope Hughes can get the best out of him and he does have a impact on games because that didn't fill me with confidence for what Curle had to say.

    I hope so as it gives us a better opportunity to squeeze in 2 up top while still having the option to also play a no.10.

    Hope it doesn't turn out to be a "stinker" of a signing.

    Then your in the Oliver scenario rubbish season stuck with him for another 2 years.

    Clearly falls to sparks who's sanctioning these 2-3 year deals.

    Easy for sparks to say no major rebuild needed well there won't be if you keep giving out such length of contracts.

    Not used to his best potential by Curle last season according to someone i know who watched them.Thinks he's better suited further forward. I can see us going with three at the back and pushing him further up the pitch.

    In your opinion it is but not IMO

    Why is my post mindless? I’m all for positivity and giving someone a chance, but you cannot help feeling that it is history repeating itself

    His stats speak for themselves, 57 appearances in 4 years at Barnsley, fresh from a team relegated out of the football league, Hartlepool fans don’t have a good word for him

    Yeah that’s right, you and your mates keep on happy clapping and we’ll be sure favourites for promotion :thumbup:

    References to Keith curle as a 'football manager' are tenuous at best.

    That’s under the arch quality manager Keith Curle ….. He has a vastly oversized opinion of himself Dave . Sacked by Hartlepool when he left them 1 point above the relegation zone.

    Different opinion you get shot down.
    Let's hope your faith is right.

    Costelloe was also a championship player as well somehow.

    Chicksen had an impressive season at Notts County scoring 10 goals. Be happy with that if Oduor can replicate that for us

    Yes. A lot of the posts are hilarious. And of course most of them were moaning about the signing of Wright!!

    We're not desperate, at this stage. It's not as though he's only going to be the only option. It makes sense having fast players who can play in more than one position to come on as substitute - something we badly missed in the last few matches.

    I can't see us keeping both Ridehalgh and Foulds now we have this lad. Not with Sparks narrative of being "leaner".
