RobJames 905 Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) A big mistake by the club. Not a rumour, nor any speculation at all. He just turns up, and a few hours later his playing for us. That is not the way to do things. We had a good run with Tom Ince. Plenty of mileage out of that one. Makes you wonder if the club are going to do this sort of underhand stuff again.

Up until yesterday the world was convinced Aiden Manning was a Watford player. Yet there he was yesterday playing for us against Barnet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Serinus Canaria Domestica 45 Posted July 5, 2023 Yesterday, once the squad was named, I checked him out on Transfermkt. Clearly stated there that he was without a club. Left Watford after contract expired. Best to do some homework before posting…. And his name is ADIAN …… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peregrine Shorts 354 Posted July 5, 2023 we had him on trial at the back end of last season 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZLF 284 Posted July 5, 2023 A self professed box to box midfielder who can sit deeper, sounds a bit like howson amd one ot two current squad member. .. kenny, gibbs, Sara (his replacement next season), nunez etc etc Was well regarded at Watford, who let him go, will be interesting to see if he kicks on here.

Capt. Pants 4,334 Posted July 5, 2023 OK I'm confused. Have we actually given him a contract or is he just a triallist? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is usually quite a bit of speculation before any signing (as with Sainz), leading to plenty of comment on here. Both can drag on for ages before the signing, That is the 'proper 'way (see clip). Manning was not signed the 'proper' way. Denying us all the chance to comment, speculate, complain etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samwam27 535 Posted July 5, 2023 Hes another young player signing, which costs nothing and we hope we can develop. Whats to moan about? Wasnt Pukki a surprise signing? I remember coming home home, hearing wed signed someone followed by who the heck is this guy. Hadnt heard of him before in rumours, but he turned out alright 😄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
