His inability to attract or break into a team above L1 throughout his career. Looking at what Sheff Utd fans say his biggest weakness is crosses. For me it’s the fact he hasn’t played in years. It’s a gamble and one I’d rather not take on an important position.

Again, marosi was on the bench for Doncaster

He was in his early 20s! And we just got rid of him so not sure how that helps.

Also he played 36 games the season before he signed for us so, um …. No he wasn’t?

Still think there could be a development with Sam McCallum I do know he is seen eventually as a centre back rather than a full back and he is left sided, good in air and mobile

i think he might plays in front of defence too.

I think McCallum would make a very good LCB or LB. it’s the attacking elements of a wing backs game he struggles with.

How would they know if as you say he’s hardly played ?
I bet you can’t wait until his first balls up.

Stop being silly.

I’ve hardly played pro football, would you be happy with signing me?

I’ve said he’s a gamble because he’s never performed at this level and he’s not getting any younger. The reactionary responses from the be positive crew really grate at times. It’s a forum, you’re allowed opinions other than “aren’t they all lovely fellows trying their best?”

I don’t think he would be the greatest of Centre halves but if he bulked up more I can see it

He’s very good in the tackle and for a full back outstanding in the air. I think he’s do OK in a three.

He's 27.

He was on the bench at the end of the season. Pretty sure people were saying why are we signing their sub goalie weren't they

You criticise players before you give them a decent chance so you can say I told you so. You’ve never seen Moore play like most of us but I know you are waiting like a Preying Mantis for his first bloomer, pathetic.

If I had your mind reading ability I’d use it for better things than arguments on a football forum.

This is a bit stupid, questioning a signing doesn’t mean you wouldn’t want them to perform well

OK. Let’s pretend Marosi didn’t win a L1 title and play 36 games for a team that finished in the playoffs, including the final run of 19 games before he signed for us. What’s this got to do with Moore’s experience?

In 2017. And we’ve just shipped Marosi out because we don’t play in L1 any more. Would you sign him back in 4 years?

Sheaf, Györkeres, Dinaga, Bright if the contract terms are right, Waghorns OK but a bit old a bit expensive and similar to what we have.

I just don’t see it with Moore.

Fortunately you didn't see it with James either when we signed him, so theres hope for Moore yet.

All I know is, we only had 1 keeper on our books, so obviously we needed Moore.

I wouldn't be suprised if we go down the loan route to pick up a C/H and a LWB so they might not be joining us till the start of the season.
No need to panic, MR knows what we need.

Well midfield and striker departments sorted just defenders needed now and not a loan in sight can see a couple of left sided wing backs coming in and a C.B maybe 2 then think we will be stronger than last seasons finish squad.

Still think there will be an experienced defensive midfielder to come.

One thing for certain Robins won’t hesitate to bring any player in if he thinks he is better than what we have.
