Looks like he can put a decent cross in. Just need to sign a striker to finish them off now. Never heard of the lad before today but it’s the type of signing you need to make in order to discover talent. Not all signings like this make it but some do. Give him a chance and he might come good. Much rather him absolutely fucking anyone coming off the bench than Diakhaby so it’s a step forwards at least. Corrected. TBF, even without putting square pegs in round holes, Koroma, Aarons, Grant & Jones are probably ahead of him for the LW berth (once JK is back from injury) so I think we can safely say AD's days at the club are numbered. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't get another minute on the pitch for us.

This from an analyst company. I wonder when he referred to working with us last year if any of our signings can be attributed to them?

Can someone explain how this forum works now in relation to what threads go where? The next signing will be announced on the 14th page of a resurrected 7 year old thread on The Buxton Lounge, and the one after that in Politics & Current Affairs. It's a great system.

Three wingers signed in just over a fortnight. Diakhaby obviously left a hell of an impact with his performances this season then

The sub-board, folks, is for Transfer Rumours. This is not a rumour, clue is in the name.

TBF he has been put on the RW but I do think he'd be better suited to the LW.

I would throw him straight into the 1st team squad.
Yes, he will be raw. But I honestly believe that if players like Diakhaby have been getting minutes, then Sorba Thomas should get a chance.
Gain valuable development time ready for next season, just look at what it has done for Koroma

But then 3 months down the line when folk want to talk about how Sorba has scored a debut hat-trick, do they start a new thread or use this one? There's no perfect solution, but after the initial faux outrage the current one has been working fine.

Gain valuable development time ready for next season, just look at what it has done for Koroma I would as well, but maybe there's less of an urgency given the signings of Aarons and Grant. If the rumour I posted earlier of Sorba being loaned to Bradford is true, then hopefully it works as well as the O'Brien loan did!

Josh Koroma would probably have been seen in that light last year. This coaching staff can make good players a lot better. Lets hope he is one of them. I’m sure that’s the vision but Josh Koroma stunk the place out for a year. I’m just impatient and desperate for some immediate improvement in the quality of the first team. Why use phrases like that? Josh has flourished under decent coaches playing a style of football that suits him. There was hardly a player in the squad who looked good last year and the season before that he got 11 goals and 7 assists for Orient. Please think a bit before you trash players like that. Regarding your impatience, this is the ideal year to build this way. If Diakharby is good enough to play off the subs bench then this lad probably is and more. This is the long view and if the club chooses well it is a way to build a young quality squad at a sensible price.

although I wish transfer rumours and gubbins was still part of the original lively and fun board, this post & thread belongs in the quiet transfer sub board, not this quiet general board. X

Another promising signing though not ready for first team appearances. When are Town going to learn to build a squad of players ready to go at Championship level and in positions everyone knows we need to strengthen including a proven and experienced goal scorer to replace Grant, Mounie and Depoitre? It is all very well getting in players who might be good enough in a couple of years time but Town need several experienced players capable of going straight into the first team now . The last outing against Plymouth showed how we lack experience in depth even against a mid table League 1 side.
