   Who favors this signing? Heath, Lagos or who?

      Ian Fuller has made 2 trips to Ghana this year. So we can definitely blame him if this fails.
      (I’m kidding).
      I’m not sure it’s really possible to figure out the exact workflow of this kind of signing, but I’m sure that both Lagos and Heath would have to feel very confident about it. It’s unlikely that one found this guy and the other was unenthusiastic.

   That music has me believing in this kid. Holy shit.

   Seriously, though, not all highlight reels show a footballer’s ability off the ball or in doing set up…it’s usually either goals or something else obscenely flashy. So this is good.

   Seems like a cross between Ramirez & Ibson … not afraid to try a shot from anywhere. Also not afraid to get bumped & fall down. But left footed.

   I would say that they must project him as a central player, but history suggests this team may sign three or four more left-sided players this off-season.

   No love for Jeff breaking this news? I know he’s no longer with 55.1 but come on.

   I was really excited by nearly every pre-season signing last year, reading all the acclaim for the incoming players. They had maybe a 50% hit rate. Perhaps that normal, but regardless I am much more reserved in my enthusiasm for new players now. Time will tell.

   Fast, physical, and he has foot skills. He looks to have some skill at sending passes forward into space for attackers. The part I think I like the best is how effortlessly he sends flicks and passess for long distances even when unbalanced. He should help us move with pace if he’s consistent. He’s only 24, so he’s got years to perform at a high level. This could be an interesting signing if it goes through.
