I had hoped we’d moved away from this type of signing now that Robinson is away but it would appear not. Thoroughly uninspiring signing. That said, best of luck to the boy and hopefully I’ll be eating my words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkyred Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 It’s an interesting signing and one I would compare to Hylton who looked amazing on his day, his day just never came around often enough. I guess with Alexander’s history we were always going to see some signings like this. With all the talk a a smaller squad with better quality though perhaps not a hugely popular one.

fizoxy Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 The available market isn't going to change much with managers. He's also only our second signing, so not going to make any generalizations at this point. Seems we've had a good look at him, so hopefully he's more of a Roberts than a Seedorf.

steelboy Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 It's difficult to see us getting much out of a guy who is coming from a league below Hylton and Frear when they signed. Not inspiring much confidence for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when we coach him into a better player, the usual suspects can start complaining about not tying down players to longer contracts and moaning that we never get high transfer fees. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 We have had him in training with us so we haven’t just drawn his name out a hat. Let’s see how he does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the age of 24 if any good he'd have gone beyond non league. It's not shaping up brilliantly thus far. Connor Shields + SOD both get a big tick BUT pretty much every other signing since GA has arrived has been very Meh Fox ,Carrol, Mugabi, Crawford, Lawless, add to that Cornelious and Devine who if good enough would have been playing by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly should be given a chance. Vardy though was hot as shit at Fleetwood, everyone was looking at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmac Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 I’m a bit puzzled by this signing. Firstly, we acknowledged that we were keeping playing budgets at the same level whilst Alexander also said that he’s planning to only bring in half of the amount of bodies which we let go. Those two things hand in hand suggests that our average salary will Increase and that we’re investing or planning to invest in starters. With the best will in the world to Maidstone, I cannot imagine that this will be anything like a top earner at Motherwell and therefore it begs the question of where the money is being spent or will be spent, if this is the route we are going down? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfc Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Giving the level this guy has been playing at,i really hope he has it in him to make the step up,who knows he might be getting brought in as a squad player to start with,either way we need to be making some signings that are ready and and at a standard to be playing first team football.i see were being linked with another loan player from rangers,I hope it's bollocks,let some other mob develop there players.

Vardy had scored +70 goals in his previous 2 seasons. Had as signed anyone with this type of record I'd be jumping for joy. My general point is GA has signed 11 players . Other than S'OD + Shields it's not convincing that many who have signed will be automatic starters. A smaller squad of better quality was the promise. With Kelly, Gallagher, Campbell , Cole all leaving to date we have a smaller squad - there's a distinct lack of quality . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
