khay Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Good stuff. Extra body now if we can get the Argie and another striker and midfielder I'll be happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'd never heard of him until he came on trial and didn't see his runout at Doncaster so I have nothing to go on, but hope he turns out to be a good signing. Best of luck to him and welcome to the club. I'm guessing he's signing as a backup DL/DC so it's primarily about getting numbers in for the start of the season. I trust Keegan's judgement of players and if he likes the guy then that's good enough for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I see this as KK Mark 3's equivalent of Mark Robinson A squad filler who will get the odd run out in the starting XI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbob Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Doesnt this lad play left back as well? To be honest i wasnt bowled over by his performance against Doncaster at CB but if he's more adept at playing LB then he'd be a shrewd squad signing.

Dave Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Sweepstake on hours before NE5 comes into this thread stamping his feet like a little girl. I say 3hrs. He should be pretty pissed by then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I've never seen him play and a pre season friendly against Doncaster is hardly the best place to judge, however Keegan has had the benefit of having him in training all week so he can compare him to what we've got, if he thinks he's worth signing then I'll go along with his judgement. Didn't KK tell his agent the club have had their eye on him for a while? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest i wasnt bowled over by his performance against Doncaster at CB but if he's more adept at playing LB then he'd be a shrewd squad signing. The question is: was George? Oh and FAO Dave: I'll take 4hrs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The finest trampling of one's own argument I've ever seen on here. Well played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
