Or did @Tofeenut mean the 2nd part of medical for Danjuma?!

Or a 2nd signing?!

Hoping for the latter

Yeah it's always difficult to judge a player stepping up from Irish league level. The only player I saw play in the league who I knew would have no issues was Dallas at Leeds because he was on another level. But I've watched Moore play a couple of times, and he definitely stands out for this level, especially in adult football in a very physical league.

It is such a big jump but the gap in standard should close as more teams become full time.

Rory Hale at Cliftonville now was with Aston Villa for years and didn't break through and his brother Ronan who also plays for Cliftonville now was at Birmingham for years and didn't break through. It's difficult to predict who can make the jump and who can't.

Can you imagine Danjuma not confirmed until tomorrow night and a couple of other players lined up for Monday all with Lampard getting sacked 5:30pm on Saturday evening

Oh Everton, we could really do with 3 points

A second signing

I didn't say he wasn't good enough, i said he didn't go any higher. I know Joe. We are from the same area and he was in the year (or 2) below me in school. You could tell how good he was at a young age.

I know but you were kind of implying he wasn't able to play at a higher level. 5 games before serious injury, then being loaned was really bad luck for him. He never really had enough of a chance to show if he was or wasn't good enough. I agree it's a big jump up in level for any young player who's not used to playing against that quality of player. Very hard for any scouts to decide on players like that. Doesn't help that many clubs\managers are so risk adverse, even if the players are relatively cheap as it's often about protecting their reputations.

I'm going to read it in the most positive way I can, which was Danjuma is done and that be announced tonight and another 2 players are having medicals Monday..

I know I've made all the above up but it gives me a bit of hope

May i ask, are you being vague about the 2nd signing because it's a backup keeper and not very exciting or... Is it going to be another attacking player?

 

[Blue_Berry]

I'll be stunned if one in by Monday

I meant (or rather @Tofeenut meant) for medicals. Or so I assume...

Getting players cheap because a team is relegated is a myth. We have paid top dollars in the past for relegated players. Parachute payments help massively the relegated club to be tough in negotiations as well as ironically more interest from other teams

We couldnt negotiate the sale of a bucket of water to a burning man.

I know Antonio isn’t a great goalscorer, but he puts himself about and is a nuisance, unlike some forwards we have at the club.

LEAVE NUT ALONE FFS HAVE YOU NOT LEARNED ANYTHING

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Incoming Monday - Head for bed before weekend

Not one but two by Monday

Does this mean Danjuma is likely to be announced Monday (with another?) mate

Not at all mate. Everyone from here wanted him to make it and do well. I remember him getting MOTM in pre season i think against Spurs and did well in another pre season game against another premiership team.Being homesick was an issue mate and the injury was a catalyst for that.

There are more and more kids from here 'going across the water' as we call it and there is obviously a market to be tapped into.
