Any clues who he is yet?

Any clues who he is yet?

Calvin Andrew, more clubs than John Burridge and a goal every ten games to his name. That's us out of dodge with a possible late play off surge on the cards.

Calvin Andrew?

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Do you think he's getting paid to train with us?

Could be a cheaper way for a Ron PR stunt - don't shell out on an actual contract for a player you won't be able to sign just bung someone a couple of grand to come down and train for a few days to make it look like things are happening.

 

[overseas shrimper]

Any ideas who?

Keyser Söze.

 

[Supershrimper]

Freddy Eastwood , the 3rd coming.

It could be Messi or Ronaldo. Until the embargo is cleared we're registering no one.

Jonte Smith looks like he might also fit the bill. Maybe Goater put a good word in about us...

I still can’t see anyone about better than Chris O’Grady that fits the bill...if he’s training with us it’s difficult to believe we won’t know very soon

If he is training I suspect he has agreed to sign subject to the embargo being listed this week- he clearly wants football so why would you sign unless you were sure embargo lifted

Billy's Boots was brilliant. Lived with his Gran if I remember correctly. Always had a certain sadness about him.

He’s coming for a weeks training from up north at Ron’s expense if he likes what he sees in training he will sign we have offered him a good deal

He'll then sit in the stands for months getting splinters
