I’d say his poor performance tonight was clearly a message to the club to let him go, tho it’s hard to believe he can play worse on purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cohen Bramall was lured away by Arsenal back in 2017. And Ryan France was taken by United. Although that one was actually comedy gold, thinking about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Looked decent again tonight. Would let Borner go and replace with Bola. Probably cheaper wages also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they gave us some I'm sure the club would be happy to book his travel arrangement for him. I liked Borner when he came, he looked like he just loved playing. Always had a big grin on his face when he was on the pitch. I think we eventually wore him down, I can understand him wanting to leave. I've no idea if he is free to leave due to non payment of wages or not but DC wants his palm crossesd with silver or Borner stays. As things stand we would probably be better with his wages freed up.

Owly Mowly Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 That Alfreton second half team was very very poor and full of trialists. So hard to say how good he was against poor players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milanowl Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Guessing he's down as a trialist until he's actually signed/loaned. Any chance he hasn't been yet because there might be a fee of some sort involved that would need EFL clearance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owlinexile Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 When's the last time we actually signed a triallist for the first team? Frankie Simek? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I’ve not seen Bola play yet but he sounds promising and he can’t be any worse than Julian Borner who quite frankly is a comedy defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall that too, back end of his career i think, similar to Nigel Clough and Bruce Grobelaar and more recently the Dutch leftback whose name escapes me all weird and odd signings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick digging around was after he got the boot from Coventry and Francis gave him some game time in our reserves, not sure if he was looking at him ir helping a mate out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That in a nutshell is the problem as usual, bloody Clueless. How much more damage is he going to inflict on the club with his stupid decisions and even more stupid pride? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
