Not playing him is hardly doing the team any harm though is it. Ultimately RDFC >>>> Sam Smith.

Haha, thats how I judge players, wrong but often right!

Looks about right looking at pictures of him. I know this isn't 100percent accurate, but what are his strong attributes? pacey? winger/striker?
Again, according to football manager his acceleration is 16/20 and pace is 15/20, compared to aaron o'connor who is acceleration 13/20 and pace 14/20. I think that some good fresh feet on the pitch at this stage of the season is what we need to secure our place in the play-offs!

Haha, Im no Football Manager geek, but thats about Osano's level isn't it?

Looks an exciting acquisition to me, lots of pace and skill to stretch teams, something a bit different to what we have at the moment! Could be a good impact sub.

Yeah, around Osano's level.
Hopefully we will see him on the pitch soon and see how much talent he has to offer to the club!

Sounds good, I think a striker to shake things up a bit is a good move, but i'm concerned defensively. I think we have perhaps been a bit lucky to only need 5 defenders this season.

What would happen if for example, Downer was to remain unfit for Saturday, and Corcoran or Robinson had have picked up 2nd yellows last night???

Although I have just remembered Porter played Rb for a few games so I suppose he could fit in

Im sure we can cover defence, but this new striker, played 8 games for Dag & Red and scored only 2? if he is good enough Dag & Red wouldnt be letting us have him would they?

Yep let's write off a player from the division above before he even pulls on the shirt.
