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.

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.
