Luca Colville

Certainly needed another body in there, no idea what he's like though. And pre season means nothing to me before anyone says he was fantastic/shit.

 

Bradford City have completed the signing of trialist Luca Colville.

Colville has agreed an initial one-year deal and is in contention to feature this evening – when the Bantams travel to face Macclesfield Town in the Carabao Cup first round (kick-off 7.45pm).

The midfielder scored a superb goal in City's pre-season clash with neighbours Bradford Park Avenue and featured against Carlisle last month, having spent the 2017/18 season with Huddersfield Town.

Bantams head coach Michael Collins believes Colville has a bright future ahead and is delighted to have secured his services.

Collins said: “Luca is a young player, who has plenty of potential.

“During the pre-season campaign, he impressed us with his decision making on the ball and has shown real quality which belies his years.

“Luca's desire to earn a contract has been extremely refreshing and we feel he comes in and adds something different to the group.”

 

He did okay in pre-season, kept it neat and tidy so maybe worth a shot

 

Sounds to me like we need more bodies but the pot is now empty. Pre season reports and previous musings from Town and Forest have me edging more towards a rafa de vita more than a Jamie Lawrence type player

 

Goose, which pot are you referring to? - and why is it empty?

 

Odd he's only got a one year deal if city feel he shows a lot of potential.

 

The pot of money for possible loans or free agents, I'd suggest it's empty due to the likes of Scannell Akpan, Payne and Doyle

 

Oh right, so this was just simply an observation? It’s just, you sounded very certain that we had no money, that’s all. :thumbsup:

 

Catch 22 isn’t it though? He gets a contract and is garbage we are stuck with him for 3 years

Or make him work for a new deal and probably clauses where it’s auto extended If he plays x amount of games

 

What was he like in preseason games ?
Is he an attack minded midfielder ?

 

We gave Patrick a 3 year contract and look how shi&e he is now.

Happy this is just 1 year and will more than likely include an chance to extend.

 

Where does he play - where did he come from?
Nice first name tho. Foreign sounding players always sound like they have potential!

 

Looked organised and liked to go forward with the ball which seems a rarity in todays football. One of the better players in what was a pretty poor preseason.
