Ex Players

[Brogue]

meh, file under football fans being dicks, see also David Moyes under pressure and being under pressure for months with west ham fans wanting him out despite being in a period of success. No doubt Parky will be sacked soon. And a more glamorous manager will be brought in to fit their perceived profile only for things to go to shit.

West Ham fans have always been knuckledragging morons with delusions of grandeur, so that's no surprise.

Junior Hoilett, who's apparently been training with us, has signed for Colin at Aberdeen.

[Stranded]

Moore came off the bench for the last 14 mins of Northampton's win over Bristol Rovers on Saturday.

[Sutekh]

Reading legend Dave Kitson has stepped down as chairman of Arlesey Town Football Club - and is actively looking to become a chairman or director of a Berkshire-based club.

[AthleticoSpizz]

Currently running his own local footballing academy (assisted by James Harper), no surprises.

[Sutekh]

Lucas Joao has joined Umm Salal Sport Club in Qatar.

[Dirk Gently]

Only just realised when I saw the Scottish Premier highlight programme last night that Jordon Obita has ended up at Hibs!

A regular starter but doesn't seem to be setting the world on fire there.

[From Despair To Where?]

Obita's doing ok at Hibs, one of their better performers but they've been absolutely shocking this season.

Adam Le Fondre's at Hibs also. Their Director of Football is Brian McDermott.

Rodgers has another radio run-in.

Was thinking about the players in recent years we’ve lost before they could make an impact.

Thierry Nevers is one of them. Best remembered for this ridiculous piece of football: https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comment ... y_thierry/

If he’d stuck with us he’d probably have had a similar amount of opportunity to Azeez. Instead he went to West Ham, and had a couple of uneventful loan spells. Now playing in Transnistria. If you’re thinking “that’s not a country”, correct - it’s a Putin-sponsored breakaway region of Moldova.

The flip side is Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, who is still only 19 (same age as Vickers) but has made 15 appearances in the Bundesliga for Dortmund this season.

Also in the Bundesliga was Jordi Osei-Tutu, a full-back who jumped ship to Arsenal, had some Championship loans and then ended up with Bochum. In January he got sent on loan to Giannina, who are currently 12th/14 in the Greek top flight.

Speaking of Greece, Jordan Holsgrove is an Olympiakos player, but is spending this season on loan at Estoril, who are 14th/18 in the Portuguese top flight. He seems to be a regular, and is playing alongside Eliaquim Mangala. Better standard than League One.

Diamond Edwards is 20, and missed a year due to an ACL injury, but hasn’t hugely pushed on at Southampton. Under contract until summer 2025 - if we lose Knibbs in the summer then he’s the sort of player we could look at taking on loan.

Feels too early to judge Princewell Ehibhationham, Imari Samuels, Luca Fletcher, and obviously Vickers and Harris.

[Four Of Clubs]

Dom Samuel came on as a late sub for National League Ebbsfleet Utd at Dorking Wdrs on Sat. ... and scored.

Has just moved back south after a couple of years up in 'chilly Jocko-land' with Ross County.

Yea interesting review - bit of a shame on Holsgrove as he was starting to look useful and jumped ship before making the first team

Think he got some useful chances in pre-season, then we immediately signed a bunch of no hopers that meant he'd be nowhere near the squad and decided he'd rather leave and try his hand elsewhere. It was towards the end of the period where we were just throwing away young talent so we could sign aging failures who'd once had a sniff of the PL

[JedMaxwell]

Kevin Watson was on TalkSport a few weeks back talking about VAR and refereeing and he was really good.

He was a great player, I always think he would be useful in one of the pivot positions in midfield in the modern game. Almost never gave the ball away.

John O'Shea now Republic of Ireland interim head coach

[Hendo]

Will be interesting to see how he gets on.

By all accounts was a very decent coach when here.

[ayjaydee]

Dom Hyam (skipper) took the 5th penalty and missed v Newcastle last night.

Seems to have had a decent career since we let him go.

Scored their equaliser against Norwich on Saturday too. Wish he'd got a proper chance at Reading...
