Agree ZTH its refreshing that someone on here generally sings from the same hymn sheet as me!!I like this type of signing. You give a bloke a chance to play at a higher level while at the same time maybe unearthing a gem - they usually have a more realistic attitude than the Dan Crowley's of this world, want to impress and are prepared to give their all.
Good luck Jonti - let's hope the future opens up for you.
Hadnt heard of Johny A? Were you living in the treetops?Don’t know anything about him apart from scoring an hatrick for the Scum U23’s against us and they didn’t sign him, but having said that I hadn’t heard of John Aldridge when we bought him I think for 70k from Newport
No I hadn’t heard of John Aldridge until Jim Smith brought him hereHadnt heard of Johny A? Were you living in the treetops?
He played for Newport when they won 3-0 at the Manor. A very good reason to remember him. I do not think I will see the like of him again in a yellow shirt.No I hadn’t heard of John Aldridge until Jim Smith brought him here
Weird isnt it, to be more excited by a young non-league player than a young player that has played for Liverpool first team.I'm more excited by the signing of Jonte than Sinclair to be honest.

I thought if you are free and without a club outside the window you could sign for a club but you can only play if you’ve only had played for one club during that seasonI thought if you became a free agent outside the window you still couldn't sign until the next window,not sure where I got that from but I hope it's not true. Otherwise we have an Eddie H situation.
That is correct, but the implication here is that the player and his club agreed a mutual termination of his contract prior to 11pm last night, hence he was a free agent before the deadline, hence we can sign him at any stage after the deadline.I thought if you became a free agent outside the window you still couldn't sign until the next window,not sure where I got that from but I hope it's not true. Otherwise we have an Eddie H situation.
if paperwork lodged with relevant bodies at midday on the day before a game,doesnt that allow a new signing to play?So the club have confirmed in the Burton preview that Jonte Smith won't be involved at Burton as paperwork still has to be completed.
Thats what I thought. If it was that easy everyone would do it!!I thought if you became a free agent outside the window you still couldn't sign until the next window,not sure where I got that from but I hope it's not true. Otherwise we have an Eddie H situation.
