Crusoe Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 There’s some faint irony in our constant churn of players, each holding up OLDHAM VENDING SERVICES. Perhaps the new name for a player agency, if anyone was interested in that sort of thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticMark Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 According to L'Equipe, Birmingham City and Bristol City were supposed to be "battling" to sign Raphael Diarra a couple of months ago! HITC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(You could tell after 5 minutes of his debut he could play) Put these signings along with CBJ Clarke Dearnley Whelan - there seems to be a trend for talented youngsters released or not getting game time at bigger clubs. I like it, at the very least there’s a bit plan there. And it’s certainly better than the carousel of french 5th division players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just find it hard to believe that Bristol City and Birmingham were "battling" for his signature if he's ended up here three months later...

He's been out of football a while so hopefully he's been training with us for a few weeks to get fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course. Just like any signing is a risk. But you can look at certain factors to mitigate that risk. One of them is pedigree. Interesting that our ‘youth’ players are some of our Better performers. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of the French lads over the years were youth players at big clubs and we've had plenty who've started at big English clubs over the years that haven't made it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let’s average them four at 22. . Hardly veterans are they? Annnyyyywaayyy. The original point was about pedigree, bam came through at Monaco (so does the new singing) you know where the rest came from. I also said in my original post ‘players who are getting released by or not getting game time at bigger clubs.’ As I say- I like it, and I think it’s bearing a little fruit.

penrhyn Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 CBJ done well last few games , gets stuck in. All players at this level give the ball away more than they should or they would be playing higher. Anyways welcome Rapha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
