I was disappointed to lose him. Very gifted defender. Very athletic and his pace was an asset that got the whole back 4 out of trouble on occasion. He had lapses on concentration which lead to poor decision making but he was the best player on the pitch against BR at Wembley and flourished under extreme pressure. When he was good he was very good. I think him and Collins would make an excellent partnership.

I don't buy that Hurst ans Toto have a great relationship though, if they did he'd still be here!

Then why is he linking up with him again? Toto left because of the fans supposedly and it sounds like he hasn't got much love from the Poolies either. Maybe the Shrews fans will be more forgiving.

Because Hursty will be offering him more money now than he did then, it's nothing to do with loyalty to Hurst, just raw cash, like the rest of us.

Never mentioned loyalty. They clearly know each other well which helps and he'll be nearer to his home region. It's not always about more money and we have no idea what he'll be getting paid anyway.

Toto probably left because his agent got him a better deal with the monkey hangers ...... he's a "professional footballer " don't forget. Most of them would sign for anyone for an extra £50 a week.

I think the biggest factor in whether or not Toto makes it to a high level, is whether he really wants to. He's already dropped out of football once and gone on a 'gap year'. Then he has his lapses of concentration, and dubious comments about supporters/thin skin. He'll have to deal with a lot more pressure than a few thousand GY/Pools/Shrews fans on his back.

Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Good luck to Toto, part of our return to the football league, also a player who could have left after his first season but felt he had unfinished business after the BR defeat, I remember that if not many others do.
I think he and Hurst make sense, Hurst defends first so will ensure Toto has support around him to minimise the effects of any lapses whereas the Pools defence is found wanting most weeks regadless of Toto c0cking up
