Anybody know if he's fit? I hope he doesnt lapse again especially not when he is full time!!!!
Don't think he's good enough for the Premier. Looked like he could be a good player when he was with us but was so unfit it was unbelievable.
BOHS how fit would you be on 12 to 15 pints a night , I think he did very well just to put his kit on .
He had the kit taylor made I reckon Murphs!Quote:

I can't help wondering if this is the type of player that's really going to improve a premier division side? I do remember a lot of people around GUFC having very little respect for this gentleman's efforts during his previous spell with the club. Maybe I'll be proved wrong but surely Cousins can do better with the budget as his disposal.
Er, Tony Folan did.Quote:

something needs changing with the current squads efforts ......no harm in giving him another shot
Any chance we'll see Tony playing against us next week?
Scored a couple of very important goals for us, but generally wasn't good enough.
One chubby, underperforming, cross-channel/Bohs reject is
enough for any team.

He can't sign for a professional football club until the transfer window opens in July.Quote:

unattached players with no binding contracts can sign at anytime. The july window applies to transfers only.
Still whatever Terry i am really glad that he is not coming back to Terryland as he is over the hill and down the pub most night I guess .Quote:

Was told he's only 27. Couldn't believe it, thought he was well into the 30s.Quote:

Any clues - leathal striker, deadly defender, midfield maestro or super keeper??:)
midfielder
we really need a good goalscorer as well but its good to see that there is work being done already
if he can slot into midfield it might force TC into putting murphs further up front.
