Most liked posts in thread: Jermaine anderson confirmed

Classic reaction from a few, start glass half empty before the guys even kicked a ball!

How many on here have actually seen him play, or remember him when they did? Point being i trust DH. Wait till the window closes and when Anderson actually plays, then make a judgement one where we’re at.

 

I'd like to wish the players in that photo all the very best in their future endeavours.

 

Sorry i can't have that. That only half the fan base were 'anti-Rahic'? I'm telling you, it started off a small percentage (the ones that were privvy to what was actually going on behind the scenes and fans who were recipients of that information), by the end the vast majority (i'd say mid 90s, the last 5 or 6% were too stupid for their own good) could not wait to see the back of him.

Not sure i've ever known a man so despised at Valley Parade (not even Richmond, after all he did get most of what he set out to achieve right), the fact he got so much wrong in such a short space of time was tantamount to just how bad he really was. If he had hung around any longer the damage would have been worse.

 

So, about Anderson....

 

Good luck to the lad, know nothing about him but obviously this is probably his last chance at this level if it doesn't pay off. Hopefully he'll use that as a motivator, and show a good attitude.

 

Theres always a first for everything but i completely agree it very rarely happens. The alarm bells start ringing when people mention ‘talent’, i remember hearing the very same sort of remarks about Billy Knott and Jake Reeves. All seems to point in one direction but lets see what he conjures up till the end of the season.

 

Pretty much how I see it, injuries and lack of games at Donny made him disillusioned, perhaps he work ethic went pearsgaped.
DH will have told him in no uncertain terms of his expectations in terms of attitude.
Ball's in his court, graft and we're all behind him.

 

Quite pleased with this one, based on how well he did for me on football manager 2016 for City!

To be honest I thought he was older than 22, he seems to have been around for a few year, especially at Posh

Good luck to him, and lets hope he does enough to earn an extended contract beyond the summer

 

Interesting re Jermaine and Paudie - DH indicated he really wanted a couple of players in who would be an immediate improvement on the team and a couple who would add to his squad options. My immediate reaction is these 2 are more the latter than straight into the team, so I guess Surridge (or similar) and 1 other are still on the cards?

 

Hardly a wasted talent at 22.lots of players haven't made their debuts at that age he has ninety odd appearances

 

Clinging to professional football while he can, more like.

His next move will be Guisley or BPA.

 

Jim Jeffries said McCall was done as a player and he wouldnt be offering him the same money. He went to Sheffield United and walked it and won promotion.

Point being not every manager is right

 

Let's give him a chance, seems his early potential has been hampered by injuries. Only a short contract so easy get rid if he's no good and hopefully will force him to prove himself quickly. Shouldn't judge solely by comments from fans of previous clubs but they're really not great!

Fingers crossed he can prove his doubters wrong.

 

I quite like this signing as he seems to have something to prove and his previous manager's comments will hopefully spur that on further.

Hopkin has brought in the right players so far so if he thinks he can get the best out of Anderson then lets wait and see. Hopkin seems to demand a specific work ethic which we've seen some players respond to and the ones that haven't are nowhere near the side so hopefully Anderson signs up to that and can show some of his talent. And after all, its much needed numbers in midfield.

 

Wish you hadn't bothered replying to Park's absolutely pathetic post. It really didn't deserve a meaningful response from anyone with more than half a brain.

 

If the reason he stays sitting on the bench is because Akpan continues to play every game like he did yesterday, he can sit there all season for me.

 

Agreed.

But, he's 22, and it may be confidence rather than lack of application.

There's hope given it sounds like it was injuries that derailed him.

 

It's a football ground, mate, not a poodle parlour. How many shits do you have at the ground, anyway? LOL!

 

On the plus side, we pipped Salford to his signature.....

I’ll review our January business as a whole when the window closes. But I’m worried. I’d thought that this kid was a ‘punt’ on a short term deal. One to just to add an extra option with us likely to go and get a quality, proven midfielder. Which is what we need. But reading Hopkin this morning, it sounds like this kid is the replacement for JOB, which concerns me.

 

I’m in my forties now and I still haven’t made mine
