Wide midfield?

I have an ink-ling we may be gear-ing up for a departure ...or two.

Not a position we particularly needed to strengthem IMO. I wonder what Peaksy saw from him in the 8-1 defeat?!

Judging by the article posted above he's obviously versatile which is good, and his CV looks pretty good too with a premier league side showing interest fairly recently.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

Obviously there's decent pedigree in the Gyasi family with his younger brother being snapped up by Chelsea a few years back giving the Cobblers £10k compensation.

I see Joel and his family moved from Germany, does that make him AFCRD's first overseas player or does that honour go to Quincy who was listed as a Nigerian national on a Wiki listing a couple of years back?

Quincy and Peter Okechukwu were both born in Nigeria I think, and Fazel and Rashid Koriya were both born in Harare, Zimbabwe.
