There's definitely a risk with a player like this but if it works out we've got a player who is at least two, if not three or four leagues better than our current level. This is the sort of signing that could help lead us up through the leagues over the coming years...Road2League2 wrote: ↑21 Sep 2018, 09:12 Personally I’m all for the recent news and signings we’ve made. Landing GJ was fantastic + I’m impressed with Jake from Bristol. However I am worried we’re getting too excited over JSW. We’re talking about a player here who’s played just 53 games of club football and he’s 24. Also lacks confidence after never taking off after QPR, faced a terrible injury and has little experience since.

He's had one bad injury rather than recurring issues, so playing regular football could be exactly what he needs at this moment in time. Without the injury it sounds like he would have stayed at Swindon and be in the Football League, so there's potential there for everyone to benefit. We've made a few signings like this in the last few years - not all have worked out, but you live in hope of getting another Jason Fowler. If the worst comes to the worst, Cameron and Niate have started the season excellently, and we also have Essuman and Sokolik (a player in a similar situation career/injury wise). From these five players we should be able to get a good back two/back three/holding midfielder on the pitch every week.
It'll be interesting to see where else GJ looks to bring players in, as you'd think we were comparatively strong at CB (unless we're keeping the back three). We don't have much (any?) competition at full back or on the wings, and have dreamed of a 20 goal a year striker for years now. He kept the same side as Owers for Hungerford, but only took over 2 days before. It'll be interesting to see how he lines us up when he's assessed the squad and put his own stamp on them, given how it was built for the 5-3-2 formation.
Little bit of both, IMO!Road2League2 wrote: ↑21 Sep 2018, 09:12 Am I being a miserable sod or am I right to be apprehensive? COYY
