He was one player i wish we kept.

Nah, completely anonymous in pretty much every game, didn’t do anything terrible, didn’t do anything great, forgot he was on the pitch most of the time.

That's soooo last owner!
We've moved on, to a better calibre of player- Mr Nolan and the new recruits!

I wasn't too disappointed to see him leave.
A good player on his day- but had the tendency to go missing in games
and another like Reid who should have converted more chances.

That was his drawback, the old ‘on the day ‘ factor’ …….successful teams have consistent players, ‘on the day ‘ players are a luxury and a liability…a bit like ‘on the day’ airline pilots.

thats my take on him. was better in his first spell with us. shows not all players improve with age.

Joins a very long list of "disappointing second time round" players with Pools let's face it.

And an even longer list of signings who've looked great on paper only to turn out to be duds for us.

He left without trace.

shows how pointless a CV is not for footballers. so many put a premier league side down on it but mens sod all as they were only in the acadamy there as a kid. there also must be some who represented there country at youth level playing now in the northern league and still quite young.

Look at what they achieve on the pitch, not their own portfolio.

but how many players are signed because of what and where they have played in the past. do players actually get scouted like the old days with club scouts watching them in the pissing rain. now is it the computer who says no rather than a club scout.
