    I kind of expected this one, from what I saw of them he looks a proper handful going forward.

    Ex Palace academy player (as we need our quota of former Palace players!) so knew Garner from there, before his brief spell at Swindon

    I mentioned him a while ago ,, only saw him in the L2 play offs where he was assured both in attack and defence .. this is a VERY VERY good signing .. I will follow Ben lol

    Another one kept quiet and not the right back we were expecting. Only joined Swindon in March but known Garner for a long time. An interesting one as there couldn’t have been much to go on given he’s been abroad in recent years until he signed for Swindon.

    Well thats a surprise - Didnt expect that name

    But not surprised we've gone for someone who was with Swindon last season.

    The fact he's a wing-back... the fact that O'Connell played centrally in a back three last season

    I'd be very surprised if we didnt play 3-5-2 next term.

    Anyone seen him play?

    our defence is undergoing a much needed complete overhaul
  • Did I read somewhere before he has spent a fair amount of time out injured or was that someone else we were linked to?

    Still too early to tell for me, even in a flat back four you want full backs who offer something in attack.

    Another solid signing. Well done the recruitment team. 5 more decent quality and a few good loans and we’ll look a good prospect.

    Reading wiki, he's not really lit up anywhere he's played prior to Swindon. Has been signed by clubs then twice moved down a tier within that clubs structure.  
    Ben obviously sees quality in him, Mandela was at Palace at a younger age, not sure if Ben coached him. Was released by NY Redbulls second team prior to going to Swindon. 
    Played for England youth.

    Never thought I’d see the day when CAFC mimicked Love Island. Love it.

    Jury out for me! Let's see.. decent length of contracts.. But another coming off the back of a decent season.
