You have clearly not watched him over a longer period of time - we can agree to disagree as he is at best championship level but also he is not a winger - we have a number of average ones of those who have perfected being average as a winger let’s play them ir actually what should be happening is a 3-5-2 or something different where we play WB’s and even then he would not be anywhere near the starting 11 - we need to accept like in the summer our one January signing was a waste of money 

Was he not our biggest threat against Brentford?

 

are you an ostrich?

Yeh Ruud said Woyo had a small injury but then instantly moved on and emphasised that he’d come from Italy and that he had to adjust. Sounds to me more like the injury was cover for his signing that he now doubts! 

[Sly]

So we now have three players to play right back / right wing back. We’ve signed this bloke and he’s third in the pecking order. What on earth are we doing

Our transfer policy/non strategy is another failing from DoF and his team. I really don't understand how the club have let it get in this state. Rudkin should have gone years ago

You watch a lot of Parma then do you?

Can’t judge him yet. Looked decent going forward but didn’t track well enough against Brentford.

[UniFox21]

Was there any point signing him if we're going to use McAteer as the sub wing back? 

[funkyrobot]

On a night where despite having no recognised Man U winger on his side,  JJ barely went forward in his wingback role. Instead choosing the easy backward pass the vast majority of the time. It would’ve been a perfect opportunity to bring on Coulibaly who’s clearly better going forward  and running with the ball than JJ.

I know it's been washed away in our shambolic season but what was the point of signing him? Looks like yet another pointless signing. What is he now, 5th choice full back?

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Kings of the transfer market led by our world class DoF!

[Nalis]

I forgot we even signed him up until I saw the thread title

[ThurmastonFox]

I guess we hoping if we pretend this transfer never happened it won’t count in the accounts?

Or the manager is just a total weapon.

[inckley fox]

It's really unfair to judge a player on what we've seen of him, but what little I have seen made me wonder if he was even second tier standard. And for some reason - can't imagine what that is - that felt as if it was to be expected. The recruitment department really needs the mother of all overhauls.

 

After we've fired the boss, naturally.

[Royston.]

This couldnt have been a panic signing to ease the pain of another disasterous window crippled by financial dumb****ery which has tied the hands of our fearlless leader.

[Parker Pen]

Clearly a Poor signing from a recruitment department that needs culling. From what I have seen of him live is that he doesn’t understand what goal side is and didn’t track his runner. 

[brookfox]

In his defence, out of all of our full backs we’ve conceded the fewest goals when he’s started.

[brownfox]

I hope this signing is part of the review. Buying a 3rd choice right back when we haven’t got money and is not needed makes no sense. Yes Rudkin is a donkey of a DOF but Glover the head of recruitment needs to come out of the shadows as he’s the one who’s presenting the options!! Another one who needs to be fired 

[Vindaloo FOX]

He will smash it in the Championship I feel.

[Dan]

Entirely predictable outcome. Obviously even when we spend peanuts we manage to con ourselves. Said at the time of signing him he profiles even worse than Justin in a slightly weaker league.

 

Would give him a chance in the Championship but don't think he's automatically just going to be good enough.

 

Wonder how much link to Maresca this signing had, given he played under him at Parma.

[teblin]

I think this was a championship signing, we knew then we wouldn’t stay up.

Which would take forward planning and I genuinely can’t believe that our board has done that.

 

More like a panic signing as JJ was getting pelters and clearly his form had reached a new rock bottom.

 

If it was for the Championship season, would that entail that one of JJ or Ricky are expected to leave this window?

[Sly]

He’s the new Zoumana Bakayogo / Michael Ball.
 

Fullback that we sign, see once and will never play again!

Ha, you might be right.

 

Potentially Ricky, or the fact that Ricky get injured too much unfortunately.
