Is he any good? Anyone know anything about him? What position does he play in?
he's a striker! 6 foot 6.. dunno if he's any good tho!
if he has any sort of footballing ability he will be a natural threat given his height. Given Doolin signed him I have to assume he is good on the ball. I am a bit surprised we signed another striker as I thought we were pretty well covered upfront (with fabio back). When we are 3-0 up tonight I wouldn't mind seeing him come on for a while :D
I think you might mind seeing him come on seeing as he hasn't got international clearance yet. Sounds like an interesting signing though.Quote:

;) yeah only saw that about his clearance after my post. On Zayed after last nights two goals (he hould have scored at least a hat trick) I don't think he will be going anywhere (now in saying that a player was telling me that Zayed and Doolin are always having rows so who knows). Now Tony grants contract is up in the summer (July I think) and I would lay money he will be let go if your interested. We have six strikers now :eek:
Fabio
Zayed
Bates
O'Keefe
Grant
Iyane
And I suppose Sami Ristella is also for this position (making it 7 :eek: ) although he seems more destined for management at this point and we may only see him in minor games (unless we have a hell of a lot of injuries)
Going through Iyane's career so far, he has not scored many goals for the teams he played for. He seems more to be a hold up man rather than a goal scorer.
I think Bates will be our top goal scorer and the leagues top goal scorer this season - Paddy Powers will give you 25/1 on him being top league scorer :D go on you know you want to :ball:
And Barrett.Quote:

He's pretty good in Football Manager.
He didn't look to hot in the Showgrounds.Quote:

Was there a story in the Drogheda Independent saying some con man cliaming he was football doing the rounds? Was his name Ibrahima Thiam Iyane by any chance?
No it was a big fat white bloke .Something " beehan " i think it was ?
He just couldnt get his boots out of the mud on the piece of dirt you call a football pitch :confused:Quote:

We really didn't want him sent off. Drogs played better without him and only with ten men.
He wont be in the EloI come july.
Seen a bottle of milk turning quicker. Wouldnt lace Bates boots.. Cant even hold the ball up when it comes up to himand have seen tortoises move quicker..
Why Doolin never subbed him defies belief..
Have to say, this guy is truly awful. He's gotta be a conman.
its true that to date he doesn't look great but for me a player of this size requires quality crosses, now given Doolin has his strikers depending on through balls from midfield or log balls from the back, our strikers play most of the time with their backs to the goal - clearly a system not suiting a tall player. I do feel its our system that is making him look bad - I really do not understand why we brought him in :confused:
Banks or filling stations?Quote:

Yeah looks like I gave him a bit too much credit :D if it were me I would send him to the reserves to find is form and if he proves he has it there, then give him another chance but right now he isn't fit for the first team.Quote:

4 first team forwards is enough for the LOI. There are not enough games to keep any more than that match fit.
