tbf, not sure I'd want to sign a player who on his first interview looks forward to waiting for one of the first team to pick up an injury before he plays a game, as he's clearly inferior!

If you listen to it he basically says I don't care where the manager plays me as long as I'm playing. Could deffo become a handful if he isn't playing.

He improves the squad. He’s not an ‘exciting’ signing or a guaranteed starter but he’s better than the other back ups for Dabo

Stats would put him as a RWB based on his time here...
Click to expand...

He supposedly was brought in as RWB cover, though at WHU he was usually a CB.

Also going by stats Isaac Osbourne was a RB and Andy Morrell was a RW.

Here’s a novel concept:
Let’s give the bloke a reasonable chance before writing him off as shit or as a weird signing etc.
He’s experienced at this level. The same people bedwetting are the same ones who said we needed to add championship experience last season. Make your fucking minds up!

It's not about whether he wants to play, it's about how will he react if he's not? Take it on the chin, put his head down and give the manager stuff to think about or just be a bit of an arse?

We need to stop getting hung up on what individual players earn. If we want to sign players based on wages we should continue signing players like DaCosta. We're in the Championship now and will have to pay appropriately.
Click to expand...
Agree we need to pay the going rate for talent in the championship. I was perhaps wrongly assuming he was brought in to be a covering squad player. As we improve we will obviously need to break our wage structure and that won't be destabilising because the other players can see top players arriving to make the difference in specific areas. Problems could start when back up players start to out earn the starters and that will get a lot of agents knocking on the manager's door.

27 years old, played 150 championship games, signed for next to nothing to provide cover in more than one position. Yeah, atrocious signing.

In fairness, I’d still rather a player whose going to be a bit of an arse about not playing than a player who doesn’t show up and is a bit of an arse for no reason whatsoever (Bright). Not comparing the two as players as obviously different positions, but more the mentality

Anywhere across the back line or even in midfield according to his signing video. Even if he can only play in rwb and provides another option/cover it’s hardly an atrocious signing.

Can only think we may see dabo used more at CB with Kane at rwb when needed. With also being able to deputise at lwb at a push. Solid player with plenty of experience at this level which is also something we didn’t have last year.

So while I’m not particularly excited by the signing , I suppose it shows another step in the right direction being able to sign a player whose spent most of his career playing in this league

We don’t need to see dabo CB again

Underwhelmed.

It's been a poor window and we need more in the middle of the park.

1 or 2 get injured and we are looking very weak.

9 signings. 6 first teamers - poor window

Why not try him upfront, or in AM too. If he says he can play there why not

Fast forward 9 months, we've finished a solid mid table, and all the nobheads who said we've had a bad window for signing 6 first team players will be nowhere to be seen
