Interesting that he's only just signed for them permanently on a free transfer yet we're paying an undisclosed fee a month later. https://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=75654 [Post edited 24 Sep 2020 10:58]

To be fair he scored 20 goals in 1 game for Bradford PA and even managed to score without playing for Boston! |  | |  |

Doesn't always happen, but Olly Rathbone is also the son of a competent and no nonsense defender. On pedigree, could be a promising signing. |  | |  |
Incoming (courtesy of Fitzochris) on 12:00 - Sep 24 with 4490 views | Hopwoodblue | If we get the business done today he should be ok for Saturday which will be important because of the injury to Humphrys, if Humphrys is not 100% don’t risk him. Any kind of result will be a bonus. Humphrys can have 45 mins on Tuesday if need be. |  |

No it doesn't. It smacks of careful selection and a long-term plan. |  |

No pleasing some people Fitzo. If he doesn’t bag at hatrick at Portman Rd by half time he’ll be written off by some. Christ we are lucky to have a team in the first div that’s keeping its head above water in these trying times, come on guys get behind him please and the rest of the team for that matter. We’ve signed two strikers one broke the transfer record if they complement each other and form a partnership we could be in for a decent season ! Any news of a left back Fitzo ? 🤞 [Post edited 24 Sep 2020 12:55]

Incoming (courtesy of Fitzochris) on 13:36 - Sep 24 with 3986 views | ChaffRAFC | It's not desperation when a fee is involved is it? There are free transfers out there that we could have signed but no, we've paid a fee for this lad so that tells me BBM has targeted him and it's a case of whether you trust BBM's recruitment. |  |

Quite the opposite for me. The fact that we're paying a fee gives me hope. There's no way BBM or the board would allow a fee to be paid unless the player had been extensively scouted. I'd actually be more worried if he'd been a free transfer or an unattached player. |  | |  |

Smacks of signing a player who fits a profile and has been on BBM's radar for a while and has become available again. Another striker who is a decent size but mobile too. Didn't get much of a look in the league with Salford, dropped down a level or two and was a regular scorer, so will be hungry for another shot at league football. |  | |  |
Incoming (courtesy of Fitzochris) on 13:41 - Sep 24 with 3959 views | TomRAFC | Not the well known name I know some were hoping for. 4 goals in 12 for Solihull last season as well as 2 in 7 for Salford city. Big scoring season at Bradford Park Avenue the season before. The Solihull fans seem to have liked what they saw. BBM said he had specific targets. He seems to look for certain types of players he thinks will fit his style rather than established players that maybe can't play his way. BBM will probably say that he's had his eye on him for a while. From the few highlights on youtube he seems to be a decent presence and is always looking to lose his man. Hard to say exactly the type of player we'd be getting but it may be in the Humphrys mold, albeit from further down the leagues. BBM's recruitment so far as been pretty top notch. I hope he is the player BBM had been after rather than a signing he could get over the line quick due to the injury to Humphrys. |  |

He's no Jonathan Forte though. |  | |  |

bought, or on loan I think that's six players in with I assume the prospect of a couple more in the next 2 weeks. I'd fully expect at least 2 of them to end up as complete flops but as long as a couple turn out to be excellent and 4 more decent squad players that'll do for me. This guy could end up in any of the categories I've mentioned, but I'll be judging BBM on the whole squad and where we finish & we won't have any adea of that until at least few months in ( as is the same every year) We certainly look better than 3 weeks ago subject to an update on the 3 injuries from the last game, which in the worse case scenario could put us back to square one |  | |  |

Incoming (courtesy of Fitzochris) on 14:04 - Sep 24 with 3752 views | D_Alien | Should imagine the prospect of making his debut at Ipswich instead of facing Woking this weekend will have the lad salivating If he's signed, good luck to him, especially in front of goal, and stay clear of injuries! |  |

Incoming (courtesy of Fitzochris) on 14:06 - Sep 24 with 3740 views | TomRAFC | 3 year deal and talks of the signing being on the cards a few weeks back seems a clear sign that he was the man BBM was after. Welcome aboard! |  |

Incoming (courtesy of Fitzochris) on 14:07 - Sep 24 with 3725 views | Shun | Three year deal is quite a lot when we've just given a forward proven in League One only a two year deal. Echo what DA says, thinking you're facing Woking one minute to then go and make your debut away at Ipswich must be great stuff for him. |  | |  |
