I think MJ knows him pretty well and knows what he can offer. Fans dont want more hoofball and he is going for skillfull players. I think he will not be our main striker but i see him on the bench coming on to give us some youthfull energy and pace in the 2nd Half. also Accrington Stanley have shown what players giving 100% can achieve.

Keep up the good work MJ

Quoted from ginnywings
, but i have a distinct feeling that Jolley is going to shake this club up a bit with his recruitment. About time we moved away from the failing formula of old.


well he isnt really is he ?

Fox - already played for Jolley
Whitmore - already played for Jolley
Robles - already known Jolley

Managers go for who they know, known quantities first....Hurst did with Pearson, Church, McKeown, etc Buckley & Groves, Gilbert, etc

It just appears new because Jolley's history is vague, having said that some on here called Fox before we signed him so anyone with enough searching may be able to find one or two prime candidates for who may be next.

Quoted from Tommy


How can you say we need better options than him when we've never seen him play?

I know you'll probably say he hasn't scored goals yet, but no striker has ever scored goals before being given a run of games in a team. They all start somewhere.


So would you start the season with 2 young strikers who've scored hardly any goals between them and at this level ? I hope he does do well for us of course but I will still stick by my opinion and say I still believe we need better quality strikers than what we have got at the club right now

Well yeah, all managers do that. I was referring to the move away from journeymen, so far at least. They are also players that have something to prove, and are prepared to go anywhere to achieve it. They are not trading on former glories to win a contract, when clearly on the way down.

It wou;d appear that MJ wants players who are eager, who will play to his system, and looks more than likely that the team will not be star studded but a team that plays for each other and to it's strengths. Sounds Burnleyesque to me. Sounds good.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Good signing IMO... but first things first... How are we pronouncing his name? 🤔

Quoted from Southwark Mariner
don't know why but Robespierre came to mind as a nickname, I think probably because of his firstname.

The Terroir might be better but all depends on whether he slices through defenders like a guillotine. Doesn't particularly help that he's from Liverpool though.


Keeping with the Spanish Red theme, if he turns out to be a greedy illegitimate, he should be called Dolores (Ibárruri).


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
