Based on that assessment Stockley must be coming in his pants right nowcharlton_hero said:4 -
Quality balls in the box to Stockley will certainly improve us. This aspect has felt a bit hit and miss in recent seasons. Usually more miss than hit. I recall in some games thinking the law of averages must apply but to no avail.2

Catching up with the day, another potentially good signing, will put that as 2 Garner signings and hopefully more of the same to come.

Interesting article on his move to Germany:

Good to hear Palace were miffed at the low level of compensation.10 -
Played almost exclusively in a 4 in his first season. Last year , he looked a bit lost on the left of a 3, as did Leuth’s mate though .addick1956 said:
No. Famewo was great in his first season but not so last year. I just don't see him coming back. We had a chance to buy but haven't taken that up.The Red Robin said:
Just me who quite liked Famewo?addick1956 said:
I hope someone does because we are rapidly acquiring a defence built to last 2 or 3 yrs. With O'Connell, Lavelle and Egbo we have signed 3 L2 players in less than a year.DamoNorthStand said:Lets' all be honest, nobody really has any idea whether these players will be any good or not (unless you spend your spare time watching mid table of League 2).
So anyone saying 'Great Signing' or 'He's Rubbish' is frankly guessing at this stage.
I haven't a clue how this is gonna work out - all we can do is wish the new players luck and see how they look.
Remember, we are aiming for promotion and so need players ready for the top of league 1. Not just bog standard league 1.
I doubt we will see Matthews or Famewo back again.0 -
Can someone make a song for him to the tune of Free Nelson Mandela?1

Do you mean Sarr? He was the opposite, way more comfortable in a back 3 where he had 2 other centre backs to cover if he went marauding up the pitch/getting caught out of position, in a back 4 he was awful half the time (and I'm a huge fan of Sarr)wmcf123 said:

Might just be me but the Nelson Mandela stuff already getting boring! It's his firstname, not surname and he's not even from the same country. Surely we can do better than that!1

Key thing for me is Garner knows exactly what he’s getting in terms of not just ability, but attitude, temperament etc.27

This blokes got a fairly unusual back story in terms of playing. I think that’s what’s put him under everyone’s radar. Very good news for us that Garner was well aware of him and what he can offer. The lad obviously rates Garner too. Very happy with this and with Eoghan.7

That's a great piece. He comes across as I very mature young man, who incredibly driven. We may just have a real gem on our hands.North Lower Neil said:Interesting article on his move to Germany:

Also, he took penalties at New York Red Bulls according to Wikipedia, which is unusual for a right back.0

Two good signings in two days! A very pleasant surprise and possibly a sign that lessons have been learned after last summer. It’s difficult not to feel more optimistic!1

I will have to redraw my fucking diagram at this rate. More please!!!

Denis Irwin (and Steve Bruce) as defenders at United yes, but Neville?
Nelson Vivas was a right back taking a penalty that I remember fondly.0 -
Behave! Since when did that matter?!cafcsinger said:Anyone seen him play?3 -
Could be wrong, not checked, but remember having Gary Neville in my dream team because he scored from pens.2

Just checked, Doh!1

Normally a good sign when a manager brings along a former player3
