    I hope the lad does make a success of it but he's 23.and not been snapped up until now.

    Oh he’s injury prone no doubt about that like most of our players. However I think he’s poor player and I did when he joined 2 years ago. He’s beyond coaching you can’t improve because I think he’s working at a level that’s beyond him.

    Hendire
    Ridehalgh
    Osadebe
    Haliday
    Oliver
    Kelly
    Smallwood
    Taylor
    Platt (maybe that’s harsh)

    Either simply poor and not at the level or in my opinion don’t have the intelligence to take on coaching and develop. My evidence for that is the performance they have put in over the last year (for the most)

    I'll reserve judgement until I have seen him play. I don't think it's fair to write him off because he came to us via TNS.
    Look at Owen Moxon at Carlisle. Everybody saying he is a great player at our level. Where did Carlisle sign him from? Annan Athletic, who were in the Scottish Second Division at the time.
    People are always waxing lyrical about Barry Fry unearthing non league gems. Perhaps we might have one here. It might not work out, but unless you try you'll never find out.

    Yes he has come through a good academy and now the player of the season for a club by far the best in the league. It seems he has been monitored for a long time as well

    I hope it works out for him

    So long as the manager allows him to cross the halfway line. And given licence to have a goal.

    I wonder if he'll outscore Jake Young?

    Pattison - he's been class so far? McDonald if he turns out to have legs also excellent at this level.

    May sound a little underwhelming but you never know. Barnsley signed someone from Pontefract Collieries. Played well at centre half on Saturday I understand against Wigan. There are some good players out there. Let’s hope it works out for Wilson, good luck to the lad.

    Well I take comfort in the fact that I’d never heard of Tyriek Wright when he signed for us, so that is what I am pinning my hopes on

    Hopefully the kid hits the ground running, literally

    However, I still cannot believe we are handing out 3 year contracts. Haven’t we learned anything from past mistakes!

    Common sense had to prevail. He will be on peanuts , certainly a bigger bag of peanuts than in the Welsh league , so a three year deal won’t be expensive. We aint , like some think , a CC club and can go out and buy “ ready made” first team players. I prefer to be optimistic and wait and see.

    Theoretically, he's the best player in the Welsh league. He was POTS for the champions.

    He got snapped up after achieving that, so there's nothing to truly imply he is a limited player.

    I'd suggest getting to 23 and being snapped up by an average league 2 side suggests some limitations but i guess only time will tell on that one.

    It has. But as we all know for every Jamie Vardy theres a bus load of Ross Hannahs. Doesn't mean a guarantee of success or failure but odds wise hes more likely to be playing for Park Avenue than Queens Park Rangers a few years down the line. Good luck to the lad though.

    Yeah, I hope he's as quick as he's saying, because that's something.

    I remember watching Ross Hannah for the first time and seeing a guy with no power, no aerial ability, no real pace, and no obvious advantages... and so it proved.

    Of course pace and athleticism doesn't make a footballer, so he's going to need to be able to pass, cross and finish too - and a footballing brain wouldn't go amiss - not much to ask for the lad, eh?! :laughing:

    You're doing well to be underwhelmed.

    I wasn't even expecting a signing!
