Wasn't he meant to be 17 when we signed him in 2009? I've found articles stating his age as 17 when he signed for us and 19 in 2011 when he went to Oldham. Soccerway list his date of birth as 1992, yet he appears to be 24. How could he get away with lying about his age? Don't we request any documents?

Thinking back, I do not ever remember this being reflected in any set of accounts. I know it is not possible to identify individual signings but you can normally piece together rough estimates for transfers for each year (well at least Ramblur can!)

Simple answer, he didn't.

 

Thorne got injured in his first pre-season game. Not really sure what you want the club to do about that, and he'll be back soon anyway.

Lemme get this straight, you think the DET made this up to criticise Nigel Clough?... That is what you're trying to say?

 

In fact, the article does not even once mention Nigel Clough. Not a single mention.

Hey pal, I have no memory of him either but it doesn't mean the DET or other Forum members are making it up - what it does mean is that I cannot remember him and neither can you.

no ihave been trying to establish the facts.ican find all other transfers but not this one.

its amazing wow a player costing over 1mil plus and know one knows and gets better never plays for the club

 

Out of interest I went on Google and searched the name and guess what - first result is a news story and it refers to his time with us. Not that hard to research it

The article was written by a national paper with the DET just copying it.

The numbers will have been inflated, possibly by abalinba himself during the trial to make himself look better and garner some sympathy for the extent of his crash.
