Jonte Smith signed?

According to the Lewes FC website

Weird?

Can he now sign outside the window as his contract has been terminated so is unattached?

Terminated for an Undisclosed fee suggests we've paid for him. Maybe they used a deal sheet to get it over the line past the deadline?

 

[unification]

Up on the Lewes twitter feed too. OM reporting it.



EDIT. Our first Bermudian player. The global pull of Oxford United continues!

 

[gingerox]

Surely we can’t have just paid them to release him otherwise everyone would be making signings all year round? Good luck to lad anyway

 

[Manorlounger]

This is very odd. Nothing from our side to confirm as official and yet, Lewes announce he's gone. Did Tiger arrive late again with his suitcase of freshly printed Bahts?

EDIT: Just confirmed by club. Signed as free agent!

"free" agent... then days later £80k is received from a Thai Business account.....

Shhhhh!! The tax man might be reading this!

Bermuda International. Should feel right at home with our ground having 3 sides.

 

[TailsWeWin]

What do you think, Bazzer?!

Just as long as he doesn’t vanish...

It may only have 3 sides but it's still a rectangle. Don't give FK ideas!

I don't think Bazzer survived the disappointment of yesterday.

Our ground has four sides!

 

[LondonRoader]

Welcome aboard Jonte.

 

[Essexyellows]

Should tag him.............. @bazzer9461

 

[Sarge]

all the 'excitement' of yesterday mustve wore him out, our bazzer is very likely having a lie in, or snowed in, or both? methinks

 

[Ian]

Can we send someone around to his house?

Oh very good sir..

 

[beyondthefourth]

Could argue it's a huge step up, but it is good to have a confident player who's used to finding the back of the net this season, at whatever level.

 

[Shropshire U]

Ok...a "wow!" signing in a different sense. Presumably he's very cheap on the salary front, but all the very best to him...kind of a more exciting proposition than Sinclair.

 

[BotleyOx]

5 goals in 2 games as a trialist for us, could turn out to be a canny signing and Kr managed to keep his gob shut on this one.

hell be equally 'at home' with our fast moving midfield triangular passing

maybe Jonte Smith is not one of KRs signings?

 

[Briggsy]

Shouldn't be fazed by our tax issues, either.

 

[Jason N]

Much happier now that we've signed a 2nd Striker. I really hope both are involved in a matchday.

Does this mean Barry Manilow gets played every time he scores..............

 

[Common Villager]

Type of player I'm always happy to see us take a punt on, but is anyone concerned about the rule bend on this one? Is it really worth the risk in terms of potential fines/points deductions?!
