It’s been eight days now since KR said he want to sign a player today, Nick Harris alluded to a player in the camp who is local and can play in a number of positions obvious Obita but when is he going to sign?

If/when they come to agreement?

But there has to be a hitch either the player is after more money or Karl is offering terms till till the end of the season or something like that.

He did have a major knee injury...that may be why length of contact might not be quite so easy to finalise ?

Thanks I didn’t know that

Think that is why he was released and at 26 not been snapped up .

So, we find someone to sponsor his Zimmer frame and Bob's your uncle! (sounds like the sort of player we used to sponsor on this forum)

Don't know the story about this mysterious player but if he is as keen (NOT) as he appears then perhaps we should look elsewhere. At this moment he is out of contract, out of a team and maybe even just out of hospital (!!!!!!) So come on sign him or let him go. And then let us know who it was !!!!!

Player is signed and will play at Walsall by all accounts. If it’s Jordan Obita then it could signal a change of style with Ruffels being dropped or moved to midfield due to Brannagan not being back till the new year now.

Another good article. He's clearly had a tough time of it trying to come back from his injury but sounds like someone who is desperate to play football.

Good to see adecent number of games last season, rather than a gamble on someone only just coming out of recovery.

Especially as it was in the division above.

A very clean striker of a ball:

 

[Mystery Yellow]

If we do sign Obita then it also gives a opportunity to change formation there’s the possibility of playing 3 at the back in Moore Long Atkinson with Clare & Obita playing as wing backs in either a 5-3-2 or more likely 3-4-3 with Forde & Gorrin sitting 2 in midfield protecting our leaky defence with Henry Taylor Shodipo in the front 3

Would very much like to see us try this formation

Karl doesn’t do radical changes to formations, even at previous clubs he apparently played the same way

 

[bert]

Seconded. Clare has looked good going forward, in the games I've seen, but not so great getting back so that type of role could give him a bit more freedom.

He has changed the formation a fair bit here but it has always had a back 4 rather than 3 centre backs from memory.
