We’ve got Leeds midfielder Owen Bray on trial, and also ex-Burnley winger Sean Etaluku and Malakai Reeve from Coventry, but those last two are probably more for our B-team that we’re starting up this season.
Sean McConville is probably the best example of this - he was shocking for a number of NW clubs, so much so that Stockport fans took the piss out of us for an entire game when we signed him as he was that shit. We probably did the same to Chester after we released him. One of the most...
I had nowt to do with it.
All this criticism of him is totally at odds with what the Maidenhead fans seem to think of him - I guess we won’t know until a few months in, but he should thrive with Worrall and Whitfield getting the crosses in for him. We badly needed a target man last season and...
The Waters one was a weird one - someone from Wrexham seemed to go down a list of clubs asking if they had a striker to sell, and we were the first that were prepared to part with one.
First game of last season at Stockport, everyone came out into that narrow street back to the main road - result was Stockport chavs bricking Barrow fans and buses, Barrow fans knocking each other out, and some bloke in a car with his window down getting a smack round the chops too…
At best, he’d be an impact player off the bench. I think we offered him reduced terms as he would only be considered a fringe player. Not especially quick, but runs at people with the ball.
I can only imagine Northampton scouts have seen him on his handful of decent performances a season.
I put it on here in January that he was off to Northampton - I’d been told it was a done deal, but not sure why it fell through.
He was offered a deal this summer but turned it down - some rumours he’d come back but the manager has shot that down.
Personally, I don’t think he’s good enough...
