Personally I've never heard of him but we've signed him from Gateshead this morning. Is he any good?

Played a lot of games for the Heed. Might be just what we need but I feel obliged to say he is probably shite and we should have spent lots of money on somebody like, erm well, somebody else.

played regularly for gateshead last two seasons if that makes him good or bad. like all new signings its a wait and see job.

Judging by some Twitter reaction they are gutted he's left so could be decent.

Where does he play, says attacking midfield on the website but what's the point in signing one of them when we already have Donaldson/Munns and never ever play a formation that accommodates an attacking midfielder.

1. Munns is on the transfer list

2. We are allowed to change formation and may change to a formation that accommodates this type of player

1. Doesn't necessarily mean he's going to leave

2. True but never bothered with it last season despite having two who can play there!

I hope he's better than Paddy McGinty's goat.

I was shocked to learn that he’s Irish, you usually get a clue in the name.

Exactly. At least with Tommy Butler and Jon Daly you knew where you were standing.

Left wingback is his best position.

Davies, Magnay and Anderson as back 3 and McLoughlin and Richardson right

Yeah, Town End at home matches.

If he's the one I'm looking at there he looks a tidy midfielder, like a mobile Featherstone who can pass forwards.

congress_tart · **Posted:** Tue Jun 26, 2018 5:58 pm

Would have thought we must be confident of offloading a few midfielders - we have him, Hawkins, hawkes, Woods, Featherstone, munns and Newton currently!

thetownendfaithful · **Posted:** Tue Jun 26, 2018 6:28 pm

I liked the look of Hawkes last season, hopefully him and McLaughlin are not too similar and can play together

What's happened to PADDY did he play in any friendly games ?????

He's been laid low with a virus

Typical! Ever-present for the Heed last season but as soon as he comes to us he’s laid low.

Not sure what you're finding hard to understand?

Yes.

Only two of the first team squad missing during the autograph signing were Munns and Newton.

Newton is there alright:

Unless Jack Munns is standing behind Richardson in the team photo it looks as if the Fail got it right for once.
