Even though it says "In the same mold as Alfie Beestin", it's surely a player from the FL if they say about the contractual stuff?

Most of the younger players at the lower levels will be on part-time contracts etc and their clubs would surely be delighted to announce that one of their players has gone to the Football League?

Very possibly, if so could be someone of the same stature as when we got Tyler Garratt from Bolton.

I think the Beestin bit is positionally. Winger/Number 10.

[GazLaz]

They mean a development player.

It is most likely to be the Irish lad we are linked to in the rumour mill.

No ankle injury.

[Copps is Magic]

As long as he's got a 4 minutes highlights clip on YouTube, I'll be satisfied he's a tremendous player.

Only if it's got rubbish indie music awkwardly laid over the top of it.

Dead right, Copps; I can remember Abdul Razak's highlights; they made him look like Pele, then he came to us and was utter and total dogsh*te.

[Michael Shaw]

So, we are are going for a lean, cut-down more versatile squad and yet we are signing a player prone to ankle injuries. Doh!. That makes sense.

[Alan Southstand]

Don't be too quick to criticise, Michael, if it's the lad who I now think it may be, then we are signing what looks to me like a very good prospect. Hope it is the lad I'm thinking, as, if it is, he'll not be playing many games for the Development team next season!

One injury doesn't make him very injury prone.

This suggests he had an injury to his ankle.

[Alan Southstand]

I would suggest he doesn't fit the 'one for the future' tag!

[RugbyRover]

I would suggest he doesn't fit the 'one for the future' tag!

who is he then? I don't see anybody named in the rumour mill?

Has he been linked with a move to the Bundesleaga?

[DonnyBazR0ver]

We'll just have to be patient won't we if it's not being announced until the end of the month. Anyway, there are bigger fishes to be caught in the meantime.

Hearing now Rovers will be able to announce the signing I’ve been alluding to early next week #drfc Hoden on Twitter

Does this suggest he's been a losing play-off semi finalist this week or is that just complete coincidence?

[MachoMadness]

Maybe we finally found Damian Plessis in a cupboard somewhere?

[Alan Southstand]

Don't now think it's the one I was thinking of, but could be someone from deepest darkest Lincolnshire.

Just a coincidence, Noel; it wouldn't fit with the ankle injury business, nor with the fact that this is simply a very young player who is "one for the future".

[PDX_Rover]

It's not Timmy Mallett. I know that for certain.

Is it pinky punky then?

[aidanstu]

Is it also that the league of Ireland ends this weekend?

[DonnyOsmond]

League of Ireland is a Summer league which finishes in October. NIFL Premiership finished a couple of week ago.

[DonnyOsmond]

Announcement tomorrow morning.

[DonnyOsmond]

It's more than likely gonna be a young player we've never heard of so don't be too depressed tomorrow expecting Whyte or some first team ready player.
