Well we needed wingers last season, especially with Scannell being injured for so long. This signing addresses that squad deficiency at least. Let’s just hope he’s good.

 

5ft 7in?! Come on Gary, they’re better longer with a thick girth, disappointing

 

No harm in seeing what other fans say. What would you say if Walsall signed Joe Riley or NKP? You'd piss yourself and say how crap they were. This is no different.

 

February 29th?

 

O'connor must not start the season here.

Is he the least popular City player of all time?

 

Agree.
This is the strangest pre season I have ever known - feeling more excited about the prospect of certain players leaving than of who we might sign. It's the most bizarre feeling.

 

What makes you think Wright will go to Orient? He was going to sign for Edinburgh but his passing will have surely ended that deal. The new boss, when appointed, may have his own thoughts about Wright.

As for Riley, can anyone afford to take someone who has been poor since his release from Man Utd u23s?

Finally, we still only have 3 centre-backs at the club, including O’Connor. What makes you think he’ll leave? And even if he does, we would still needs 2 to come in for that position.

 

I know a clip can make anyone look good, but it will be nice to have some mobility back in the team if nothing else!

 

He was released because they couldn’t agree wages according to Walsall fans.

 

We signed the wrong Seedorf

 

Maybe, but every year clubs up and down the country provide a 'released list' consisting of out of contract players who are surplus requirements, so the terminology used in the article is fairly standard procedure.

Regardless though, he wasn't offered a contract. That's 2 relegated clubs in 2 consecutive seasons who have opted against it which is a worrying sign. I hope he's here as backup.

 

Based on the fact he's done nothing in his career and was released twice from clubs relegated into league 2.

 

I think we should make our own judgment when we see him for ourselves

 

I'm actually concerned by our signings.
Port Vales checkatrade goalkeeper, a player who couldn't get in Accringtons team, a Sunday league player and a player who has been relegated twice in two seasons which were followed by his release and a good riddance from the fans. We must do bettter. Far better.

 

Me Too
Maybe being a bit unfair till we actually see them play but we are a team in the bottom tier of the football league
We should be looking at and securing players not only to get us out of this league but players who can stabilize us in L1 none of the signings so far have a past record to suguest they can do this
Am clinging to the hope they are "back up" players and the real starting eleven will be brought in once last seasons high earning wasters have gone otherwise another season of struggle beckons

 

If its as you say and those brought in so far (maybe with the exception of Richards Everton) are squad players then I'm content with that. If they are all going to be starters then I'm very concerned.

 

Top signing, just get behind the lad and he'll deliver.

 

I didn't really understand what you meant with the comparisons, mate.

But yes, we should definitely be signing players better than the ones we have - then again, competition for places should make a world of difference in and of itself.

Let's never forget how poorly conceived and assembled last year's side was. Simply signing an actual squad that makes sense and has cover and provides options is the difference between a side finishing absolute rock bottom, and a side that's actually not that bad.

 

How much better than a average league one winger was everyone expecting ?

 

That seems to be a common trait amongst wingers.
The better ones having less of these games.
