See he has been released by Portsmouth, only played a handful of games this yr in league one. I liked him when he was with us, still a young lad aswell. Worth a look?

Doesn't automatically mean he is no good pal, might not have fitted managers plan or system.

I have only seen him when he was with us and he always caused problems. At 22yr old and not playing in league 1 much it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to get him and wingers suit GMs style.

He had been here last season he would have made the bench for league matches and started in the cups , move on, in my opinion not good enough

Brandon Williams is another one, the left back that was at Norwich, who started at Man Utd. On the free transfer list.

Not too much seemingly. Gone to Newport County on a six-month deal.

Surprised they didn’t keep him. He’s played recently and played well.

from memory he got a late call up in say December and did well (they were surprised) - he did really well in the first half of the jekyl and hide game against Walsall. He kept finding passes for the old bald man with the beard(can't remember his name) and also Jatta (of whom Plymouth have made their first bid of 750k - I never got around to backing Jatta to be top scorer although I thought he was a certainty each way , so would be pleased to see him go - HOW MANY YEARS IS IT SINCE BOGLE DID US ALL A FINANCIAL FAVOUR AND OPENED THE DOOR FOR SIR JOHN MARQUIS after he passed his driving test)    -he put Jatta through twice in similar fashion - Jatta was denied a goal withe the best backheal clear off the line you will ever see - Then Jatta scored from an exactly similar fashion pass to make it 1-0

... But the second half he disappeared (like the rest of them) and was subbed -

The journeyman's   school report would read "flatters to deceive"

but maybe his round peg has finally gone in a round hole at Newport ??

"I spoke to the manager not long ago, and we instantly had a really good connection and the lads seem like a really good group. The training session went well - the intensity was high, which is great.

“For me, a big part of this move was speaking to the manager. That’s crucial at this stage of my career - building a good relationship with the manager, the club, and the players.

“I also think the style of football here suits me. When you have all these things in place, it’s an opportunity you can’t turn down.”

Maybe he can last a full 90 minutes with the way they will play him
