-Grand Theft Premiership V- (Hamilton Academical 2018/2019 thread.)


Recommended Posts

From the Nottingham Post:

"An attacking midfielder or striker who was, on paper at least, a key player in the Under-23s. Capable of moments of magic, he scored a brilliant winning goal as Forest won 1-0 at home to Charlton.

"The kind of player who can be anonymous at times, but appears to be a promising talent who can bounce back if a team is happy to accommodate someone who favours the number 10 role."

Templeton's replacement, it seems.

Struggling to find anything about him or Forest's Under-23s, including what division they play in. Some fans on Twitter seemed to be a bit surprised he was released (according to one, he got "bags of goals"), and, as said, he was their top scorer last season; f**k knows how many goals he got though, or what the standard of opposition's like. 

That said, it has potential to be a great signing. 

ETA: He got 10 league goals last season - 14th-highest in the division, which is the north section of the third tier of U-23 football. 

Another edit: He wasn't Forest's top scorer either; that was Virgil Gomis who got 17 goals.

Accies just tweeted to say another announcement at 6pm.
Got to be McGowan, Ziggy or Sowah.
 

I'd heard they 3 can't sign until July 1st. Don't know if true or not.

The first two probably can't as they're contracted to June 30th according to Transfermarkt, but Sowah has been without a club since March. It should be him.

That would make sense as if we get these 3 I can't see us signing many more as that will be a 1st team squad of 27.

Keepers - Woods, Fulton, Marshall

Defenders - Van Der Weg, Penney, Gogic, Garcia, Want, McMann, Ziggy, McGowan and Sowah

Midfield - Taiwo, McKinnon, Lyon, Imrie, Miller, Smith, Cunningham, Hughes, Jenkins

Forwards - Tierney, Bingham, Ogmpoe, Rojano, Bloomfield, Boyd

Providing those three come (which seems increasingly likely), we have a competition for places. I don't know how many are actually good, but it's good to see we shouldn't have to squeeze people into wrong positions.
