I've seen him play quite a few times
A very good player
He started off as a goal scoring centre forward in youth football before West Ham converted him to a CB
He's got decent pace and is a calm, footballing CB not unlike Hyam
Pask had a serious medical problem shortly after joining Daggers (appendicitis from memory) which kept him out for several months and I believe Hyam was brought in to replace him
When I saw that Pask had been released by West Ham I thought he would be a possibility for us
He might be able to play in front of the defence like Declan Rice does
I've never come across appendicitis from memory. How does that work exactly?

So he is that versatile player who can fill at right back of needed as well as play Kelly's role of he was injured. Great to see us getting our squad built early.

Right Winger, CAM and Striker I think to go.

Looked promising at one point but slipped down the pecking order at West Ham - If Moyes has stayed would have been given a chance in the first team

'There is no doubt that Pask is highly rated by the Hammers hierarchy and it feels only a matter of time before Moyes grants the youngster his wish by rewarding him with his senior debut for West Ham.'

I like the fact that he seems a serious lad, rather than a cocky d*psh*t. More likely to concentrate on his football than substance abuse.

Seems like a nice chap based on that video. Determined to follow his own path in life - how many footballers would say they watch planet earth 2 and like history knowing what dressing rooms can be like? Looks like we've signed a strong, solid character.

The telegraph reckons he is a rb understudy. But ya gotta take the telegraph with a pinch of salt I guess

Unfortunately for Pask he picked up an injury that put him out for a while and first Reece Oxford then Declan Rice broke through to the first team ahead of him
Then they went and bought Diop and Balbuena for big money

Was he considered to be ahead of Rice and Oxford at one stage?

Is junior brown gonna be given a chance at left back then?
I guess the ball's in Brown's court
He wasn't a ray of sunshine when he arrived last year
It may have been that he was struggling with his comeback from major injury at the same time as joining a new club
With a bit of luck he'll be at full fitness and much more positive psychologically in pre-season and push on from there

Can he step across and fill in at RB? Wonder if he's been brought in as 4th choice CB (assuming Willis is off) and RB cover to save us loaning or buying another out and out RB to compete with Dabo?

I didn't think he was able to play at RB but I think judging from Andy Turner's comments that's the logic behind it. He's essentially providing cover for two positions.
