While I’m wavering a bit on the new keeper this one is a hit from me. Only kept out by the league’s best strike force, young, cocky and good scoring stats from limited playing time.
Getting behind this lad ffs.

I'd say between meh and hit but am showing him benefit of the doubt because of age, GPM etc. It breaks our usual mould of forward signings so not just another lump/crock/point prover who's here for a free lunch.
Dare I say there could also be some resale value in there?

I'm going hit because he's not 31 with a point to prove, having not proved a point at his previous 8 clubs.
No idea if any of these signings are any good, but at least we're trying something different.

I think we might have a decent one here.

Three year deal with the option of a fourth. Are we finally getting wise? It’s been two year deals and no renewals straight down the line.

Why have we paid a fee? I thought compensation only came into play if the previous club offered a contract but FGR released him. Anybody?

I can only assume Forest Green are entitled to some kind of development fee link"Under both the Premier League’s and the English Football League’s (EFL's) Rules and Regulations, a club signing an out-of-contract player under the age of 24 is (subject to the former’s club’s compliance with certain requirements) obliged to pay compensation to the former club for its training and development of the player"

A signing that actually has a strategy behind it. A hit based on nothing more than this is what we should have been doing for years, targeting players who, if developed properly, may give a future return on the investment.

The sad attempt to cover the leak of this signing by claiming it was leaked on purpose just shows the way the club is being run. The fact they thought we would buy it is beyond belief. They may as well release the kit now as the photos are all over the net anyway.

Why have we ploughed up the fucking pitch? It wasn’t in bad nick??

Yes it's only the second match of preseason but who said Young was rapid? Had 2 opportunities to put his foot down against Derby already and looks no quicker than anyone else.

Is this lad dead or what? Apparently not training the way Hughes wants. If he can turn it on on match day I couldn’t give a shit right now. We need a spark in games and he give us that.

Young hasn’t done much when he’s started but is exactly the type of player we need coming off the bench. Direct and can produce a goal out of nowhere. Amazing how our 2nd leading goal scorer doesn’t get a look when our attacking options are as sparse as they are.

Been told to fuck off it seems. Looks like we all got it wrong on this one.
Love how MH excels at signing shite or ancient forwards on great contracts, or finding out later they enjoy animal cruelty. If only he were that good at signing forwards who could actually score eh?

If only he were that good at signing forwards who could actually score eh? His record on the pitch was decent and he scored from the bench a couple of times. He looked to me to have a fair bit of promise but apparently it was in training where he fell foul of Dame Margaret Hughes. I wish we could find a use and a place for these slightly more maverick players. Who was that lad that looked every inch a Scouse junkie but had you keeping half an eye on him all the time because you never knew what was coming next? Taylor? Give me one or two of those per squad and a manager that can handle them and I’m happy.
