I really like this. Seems like a highly talented player who’s body struggled to keep up with the load of UK football, maybe the lighter load of a league is exactly what he needs. Spent his time in academy’s and decent squads since he was 9, and seems more a box to box player than pure DM.

Exactly the type of guy we need, and no visa required,

Yes. If Balard or Nisbet picked up an injury or a run of bad form the cupboard would look pretty bare. At 26 he should have that bit more maturity and composure we could benefit from.

 

[Allreet?]

It's a YES from me, in case Monty needed another opinion.

 

[finally retired]

Perhaps just me, but a little underwhelming

I'm quite excited by this one, got some good experience in tough leagues. A younger replacement for bozanic?

 

[shipwreck]

Hmmm.

When I had a look on that twitter account, I couldn't actually find the post. Also given his age and experience, I cant see him coming here as a bench player so who does he knock off? We all know Monty rates Ballard highly, and Niz changes the games when he plays so are we looking at a major formation change?

Yeah that might be bollocks from a new member account...link the tweet itself not a screenshot.

Jordan playing in a No 6 role would free Balard to play a running game as an 8 and Nizzy as a 10 ....

traditional wisdom is to have 2 players for each position on the field, we have 3 midfielders so id say yes

He wouldnt get a permit to live/work in the UK post Brexit. He would probably be loaned out to (say) Belgium.

He may get the visa if he is in the Aussie squad for the WC.

Justin Kluivert didnt and he has played CL - Brexit makes life very hard for non UK passport holders

Agree, but a cheap (ish?) squaddie - not a visa player either so not the player dick was alluding to

It's a very Mariners signing if there's truth to it. The guy was set for bigger things than he's been able to accomplish. IF he can get his body right he's a great age and has many years left to play. Having Nisbet coming off surgery I'd say he'd be the one getting minutes from the bench for some time.
Lyndon can also play right back which is interesting.

Usual story for a dud import. Could have been great but for being a fat, lazy kent.

I wouldn’t say he was fat. Just saying.
