Think he retired a couple of years back. Might have moved back here as well as he sometimes did punditry on redtv.

He has moved back to Lossie.  Interestingly his old assistant coach in the states is now the head coach at the college Dante is signed from.

This'll sound really fucking stupid but I'm always a bit wary of buying the hype of big guys from youth football.

I know nothing of him so he might be class, but i suspect a 6"4 CM playing against kids won't be able to play the same way in senior football.

As I said, I'm aware of how stupid that sounds.

 

Not stupid at all. He seems to have all the attributes to be a decent player but as I mentioned there’s a big big jump from playing us college football to senior level.  We shouldn’t really expect too much from him but hopefully he will adapt quickly and become a big player for us.

I think New York Cosmos of fitever they are called these days have first dibs on him.  He apparently wants a move away from US.  Don’t know how the visa situation  works with this type of signing mind you.   Hopefully he has a Scottish granny..

Certainly is a big loon and worth taking a punt on.  Is obviously highly thought of at US college level.  It’s a big jump to play at senior level though so it will be interesting to see if he can make it.  I wouldn’t put too much expectation on him though.

Seems to be far more chat of players leaving than arriving at the moment. There’s definitely a player in Dean Campbell.  He will  benefit from half a season on loan I reckon.  So far with Samuels, longstaff gone, Gurr, Campbell rumoured to be away and club allegedly open to offers for Ferguson and Ramsay, the new Head of Recruitment had better have been busy.
