Looking at the highlights of the EDS games it seems we have some very good youngsters but for some reason we won't give them a go. Maybe they need to go out on loan and prove they can do it at a competitive level.
That's quite damning in itself isn't it? Its a shame Shariff, Hitchcock, Andrade and Doughty haven't had the chance to prove themselves fully
Apparently he's been training with club for a few weeks! he's got a BULLET shot, just ask Julio Cesar
Its three months, I'd have gone (even more) mental if we signed him for 2 or 3 years but beggars can't be choosers. At least he's shown some loyalty in signing for us after training with us. Signing bad contracts is what gets me, this is not a bad contract.
The answer to that question is a Mr Richard Langley. Ray Jones (RIP) no doubt would have been as well.

Its sad that everyone since Langley has ruined themselves once they got their first contract. .luckily we know have people in the academy to keep them in check.
sneaky handball at 1:18 3 months... could be a stroke of genius - or a relatively inexpensive mistake win-win(ish)
Look this Latin American lad might be ok and can do the business at Championship level. I'm pleased we've got someone in and will suspend any judgement until I've seen / heard him play. Can he honestly be any worse than Zamora at this stage? I would however like to see Hitchcock & Shariff get game time if we ever go more than 1 up then throw them on and tell them to entertain us
True. Giving any player a short contract after they've earned it on trial seems good business to me! Win/win, if he impresses we can extend the loan, if he's crap we get rid in December.
Who? Only 3 months seems a shrewd move and that TF has learnt from previous mistakes of giving long, expensive contracts to players who turn out to be a pile of ****e.
