https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport...kCopy&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar Lots of praise from his former manager and it certainly makes it sound as though he genuinely felt welcomed and at home with us.... Glimpses of this kind of feedback all add stock to SMs integrity and ability to sell his vision for the future. Is it too soon to start chanting "we want more, we want more"???
That's quite a heartwarming read and as you say it paints an excellent picture of the club. I'm sure we can give Ollie the platform to flourish.
It sure is, very happy with the incoming players so far, still thing there could be one or two big signing and I don't mean Bale & Rambo.
I feel there will be one or two 'names' that might involve a fee. They are likely to be later in the window though. Like you, I think there is potential in the signings to date.
Apparently he cost us £50k in compensation. Another who went through the Arsenal academy. They do seem to produce, and discard, some good youngsters.
If that's right (£50k) and he lives up to his former managers hype then we could have bagged an absolute bargain! Even if it doesn't really work out then it's still a relatively small gamble (though wages would also be a consideration too). I can see comparisons being made between Josh Murphy and young Ollie.... Hopefully chalk and cheese all round!
Jamilu got out just in time then........look at the vid. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-61533713
Some big highs and similar lows but can never be accused of not trying his hardest. Soul on sleeve type of guy. Good luck wherever he goes except when playing us.
Scott Johnson@roathboy · 21m Clubs must notify players as to whether or not they are being retained by the third Saturday of May, so midnight tonight. The EFL then publishes the list by the second Saturday in June, which falls on June 11th this year. Talk about a drawn out process
Keenan Patten leaving us.. Rumours abound again about Derby keeper Ryan Allsopp being in talks with us. Last I saw was that he was keen to stay up there?? Can only assume money is an issue to Derby keeping hold of him. Would put Phillips place in serious doubt.
Not sure Allsopp is any better than Phillips unless like Alnwick his distribution is much improved. Looks like we want to extend the contract of the youngster who was on the bench at the end of the season so if we are serious about Allsopp then Phillips is on his bike.
