Ioannis Pittas. Champions League player and international goal scorer. Have we unearthed a hidden gem? Have our scouts discovered the next Charlie or have we got a right Charlie on our hands? I'm liking it - lets get this over the line and give him a chance.
44 days until kick-off. Squad back tomorrow. Schedule: Find your new parking space (15 mins). Into first team changing room (30mins). Fight for new lockers (30 mins). Induction on how to use new number locks on lockers (2hrs). Chat with the manager to see if they have a future at the club (5 mins). Lunch. Find restaurant (45 mins). Eat (45 mins) Then off for fitness checks (2hrs). Collect kit, if you have one (15 mins). Find car (30 mins). Off home. Busy day.
Looks like he had a great season at the ‘O’s’ last year. Supporters player of the year - which always says a lot. Will have a winning mentality from last season. Would be a step back up for him. Hopefully he has learnt a lot in the intervening years. Knows GA from a year at Wycombe too.
I thought we let him go too soon, he always looked positive whenever I saw him. With our lack of budget I wouldn't be disappointed if this one turned out to be true. His stats aren't too shabby, albeit at a lower level, so hopefully GA can help him kick on.
If we hadn’t had Smyth before I’d say it was a decent signing on the cheap (I hope). To let a player go because he’s too ****, he then does well but not brilliantly at a much worse level and to re-sign him is not a great look.
Josh Scowen now, would be surprised he'd want to come back after how ****ty our fans were to him. Some Twitter buzz saying Smyth agreed terms on a 3 year deal, we'll see.
Can’t see Scowen coming back after the abuse he got from some idiotic fans & wouldn’t blame him either
Clearly it seems some idiot has found Ian Holloway’s old mobile and, without deleting the contacts, has passed it to GA. No doubt Sylla, Wheeler and Cousins set for an imminent return too.
