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.

Doesn't look to short on this pic!

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!

The other player in that photo is actually 12 yards behind him though! ;)

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.
