Ghost of Clough Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 10 hours ago, S8TY said: Oh really ? I didn’t know that I would still like us to take a punt now and again on someone lower down the leagues I remember Bobby Davison being a brilliant signing but hadn’t heard about him much before we signed him …we don’t seem to go for up and coming talent Also Simmo …what a great signing he was and scored so many for a wide midfielder better than some strikers He was on trial, then played and scored in a game just 1 week before we went in to admin which would have stopped us signing any players (even for the U23/21 side). It took him 2 months to then find a new club (Wycombe). https://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/2021/09/under-23s-settle-for-a-draw-in-premier-league-cup-thriller-at-norwich S8TY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
