Still 6 weeks to add to the squad. Pre season will show whether certain players are going to make the grade. As we saw last season some signings didn’t stay the course.

A bit more experience but not sure how regularly he has played over the last couple of seasons. Stats suggest not very prolific in front of goal.

Dagenham and Woking fans say he struggles to stay fit, will fit in just fine here then!

I see he was out injured for nearly 18 months a few years ago.

Didn’t play a game for Dagenham after February, the quote tweets to this are not filling me with much confidence! https://x.com/reececox9/status/19375868 ... JLl_yHWs2A

Seems like we are taking a few chances on injury prone players to get in some experience. Time will tell if that comes off.

Can't understand why we keep signing players who are injury prone, have hardly played for their previous club and are not likely to last many matches once the season begins.

You would imagine it comes down to these type of players are considerably cheaper to employ than someone has played regularly at the level above in the last couple of season with a proven track record.

If the player isn’t fit and available then he probably won’t be paid so not much of a gamble financially?
