Wow, I hope new signings don’t read the Fishy. Admittedly it’s not the most exciting signing on paper, but god, give the guy a chance. He’s not kicked a ball here yet.

He might be crap, and a poor signing. Not denying that, but let’s see him play before we completely write him off.


Totally agree. Sometimes the negativity on this forum beggars belief. #UTM

This thread is minging.
I’ll never understand how people can moan like intercourse about a player they’ve never seen play. It’s just pathetic.

Hang on a minute, I've re-read the comments, and actually, nobody is moaning. They (I'm) are simply pointing out the bleeding obvious that in 220 outings (various) he scored 26 goals. Also, everyone who signed him loaned him out. Now he's on loan to Grimsby. He's 26 so not a newbie but a finished article.
Nobody says we shouldn't have signed him, but it's no good pretending he's a Ronaldo or Henry in disguise either.
It's a discussion, not a put-down, nor should it be a blind disregard of the obvious.

I rated Jamille Matt when he played for us and he only scored 4 goals in 34 games, he's not done too bad since he left us.

Give the lad a chance.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Imagine if the fishy had been around when that has-been from Halifax signed for us, that went on to become one of the best players we’ve seen in a town shirt.

Red cross away but it’s a pointless signing.

Is this really the best we can do?

You can generally tell how a player will do looking at their record and the comments from fans of the club he is coming from.  

Look at the strikers our rivals pull out of the bag, and we bring this lad in.  

He’ll play a slack handful of minutes coming off the bench, score no goals and be back at Tranmere in May.

Where’s the ambition?  How are we building for the future?


Agreed. Absolute waste of money. Rather have saved it and used it for next season. Efete is a better goal scorer from right back.

Must have seen 30+ comments from previous clubs at this point and not any positive.

To be fair doubt most players these days know internet forums still exist and probably just read social media comments

No but it’s putting negative slant on it as the guy hasn’t even played 1 game for us yet. Let’s make a decision on him when he’s played a game or two please. #UTM
