From someone claiming to know him..



I feel like, with him about to join Hull City, I should let you people know a little bit about Alefe, or Al as I used to call him.

Al joined the Rovers academy when I was just a youngster, and he played in my age group right the way up until U16s, when I was released. Al was kept on, and made it all the way to the senior team, and, quite frankly, I'm ecstatic for him.

The thing that people need to understand about Al is that he LOVES football. He's not one of those that plays for money, and shows a lack of interest in winning. He is obsessed with everything to do with the sport. He would play for peanuts if given the chance, because money, to him, is just a bonus. He's all about the game, and he works ridiculously hard every SINGLE day to be the best. His fitness training was more intense than anybody else I knew, because he wants to be the best. He's not content with being average.

What I love about him, though, is that he's also a kind human being as well. He was the friendliest and most compassionate player I knew, and he didn't dish out criticism or insults to his teammates, which is something that even I was a culprit of.

Now, with Al about to join the big leagues, I want people to know that he deserves to be the best, whether he does become so or not. He's taught me a heck of a lot about the game, and I'd love to think that I taught him a thing or two of my own!

I love you Al, and I hope you're a success.

Smells of bullshit.

Alefe, or Al was a schoolboy at Stoke. Didn't join Bristol until he was 16.

That's according to sky sports at least.
 
To be fair on him, he'll be in or around the first team at Derby compared to our development squad

no chance. i seen him a lot and im still gobsmacked that derby, celtic and yourselves were even interested in him. he will need a lot of time and a lot of work, possibly the time/work that your coaching set up would have given him, and even then i have my doubts he would cut the grade. if derby will be looking to use him straight away, they will have a massive shock!

im happy he has gone from us as i dont think he would cut it at our new level but im also happy for him that he has managed to get a good deal for himself. fair shout to him.
