I know we can sign players that are unattached to clubs, what about players who have a contract but haven't been registered as being in the squad for the season with The FA? Ozil anyone  He wouldn't come anywhere near here because of the criticism he would get on here...  |

One them was playing in a men's non-league team and the other has spent most of their time in top level youth setups that prioritise technique over competitiveness and the physical side of the game. Seemed like a reasonable comment from Curle to be fair.

Does anyone have the stats of how many injuries Mills has had since being here and how long he has actually been fully fit?
Seems to be another one that we may have skipped the medical on.
Last played for Forest Green on 18th January 2020 but then suffered a knee injury that required an op which kept him out for 6 weeks....along came Covid and FGR's season was over! Joins us in the summer, played the full 90 against Cardiff, but then goes off injured after 40 minutes of the MK game. Missed the Wimbledon game but was back on the bench for Bristol City (not used) then back in the team and played the full 90 against Shrewsbury, Hull, Bristol R, Southampton before starting and going off injured against Boro after 68 minutes. Has subsequently missed Plymouth and Swindon. So out of a possible 990 minutes he has appeared in 558 of them. He needs a "minor op" on his ankle which will keep him out for a bit longer than 6-8 weeks. That takes him to Christmas/New Year time....... |

It’s been said before, but in the lower divisions the better the player the more prone they are to either collapses in form, injury, hissy fits, lazyitis, old age, KFC family buckets, class A drugs or god forbid the fcuking lot? Alternatively, sign a player who doesn’t suffer with any of the above and they will be bang on average at best? Either that or in the frankly unlikely scenario that you do manage to sign a player who’s brilliant without the flaws, he will be signed by Brentford within 12 months and you are back to square 1?

I still can't believe how long its been since we have got anyone in the door.
I have liked Curle recruitment so far and I think Korboa, BAS and Rose could make a fist of it in this division but we desperately need Smith shipped out on loan...or just anywhere that's not a football pitch and an experienced CB and CF to help what we already have.

We are legally tied into paying nuttels wages for the season. Solicitors are involved though as we are disputing he was injured before we signed him. Free agent/s on hold until there is a resolution on this matter!

Can’t we claim that we as a club have diminished responsibility and don’t really know what we are doing transfer wise.... There’s a good chance of success.... Any judge would feel that anyone would have to be stupid to sign an injured player.... Mind you he played a few minutes for us before getting injured so unlikely.... |

If it's a season curtailing injury then surely it's covered by insurance, so what's the issue? |

This is what I predicted at the outset . Whoever was responsible declaring his fitness prior to the Hull game will be under pressure because that 30 minutes has probably cost us a lot of money |
