That is the worst news to hear, he was an embarrassment. It was the one signing I hope would not happen, he is 6ft 5ins and 5ft 9ins when he jumps. Season long loan signing it can only get better surely. Massive disappointment.

Couldn’t agree more Phil we seem to have done well in terms of transfers so far but this signing is a shocker. I have no idea what Brady sees in this lad he was absolutely useless every game he played offered nothing did nothing very very disappointing. I was really hopeful of a good season but the attack so far is really poor and this has just taken a place in the squad with a terrible signing.

I think Faal’s 6 foot 5 inch frame can cause problems at League 2 level. Potentially useful coming off the bench before he earns a starting position. Not. A direct replacement for Paton, different type of player altogether. Under Brady’s sustained coaching, I think Faal can make a bigger contribution than last season at a lower level.

I really can’t believe that his I posted earlier that we didn’t want young loaners that are not good enough for their parent clubs like eg Mo Fal so this week we resign him and another kid I can only hope we have an experienced striker lined up because I cannot see where goals will come from even at this level for Gods sake wake up nobody cares about anything except what is put on the pitch!
