Heard on the grapevine fazel Koriya may return. Quite pleased with that signed, the guy is talented and was a certain crowd pleaser amongst the faithful. Don't know much about ghetto other two, remains to be seen

I know nothing about the guy from Sileby. The only player I recall standing out for them against us back in August was their ginger left-back. Perhaps another Luke Fairlamb / Jordan Holmes / Lynval Da Costa, or maybe not!

I've seen Ben Farrell playing for St Neots. The few times i've seen him he appeared to be a Brad Harris-type. A player of his experience should add to the squad although i'm not sure what this will mean for some of the central midfielders struggling to get a look in at present.

Pleased to see Fazel re-join the club. I always felt he was an excellent striker but too often found himself stuck out on the wing. He may now get the chance to play alongside Nabil who, whilst he isn't a Russ Dunkley, certainly holds the ball up well.

Faz can only really be a bit part player now IMO at his age, but I'd like to see him play just behind the front two, he's creative. We'll have to wait and see about the other two, but why isn't Curtis getting more minutes, he must be fully fit by now and he's very mobile? I'd like to see more of Wilson as well.

Great to hear we've signed a winger who is actually a winger, and not a striker who can play on the wing. Let's just hope he can make the step up.

It will be interesting to see if Koriya has been signed to play up front or on the left wing; I'm not convinced that Ford is a winger, although he deserves some time to prove himself there. We all know what Fazel's capable of, but we also know he doesn't like cold weather!

Sounds like Farrell could be a replacement for Brad Harris, who has looked really out of sorts recently IMO. He started the season really well, but he's given the ball away more in the past few games than he has in the rest of his previous 150+ games put together.
