MellowYellow wrote: 13 Oct 2018, 17:46 Fair comment from your mate. He is young and still in development mode but has oddles of natural talent. As Gulliball say he is now two league levels below so should find his feet quickly. Played today and was solid, if not outstanding. Always think it unfair to put a young player into a new team before he even know where the club toilets are, but give it a few week and I am sure he will have rave reviews.

Here’s what my Cheltenham fan mate, who really knows his stuff, says “he was just another one of Johnson's awful signings towards the end when he had clearly run out of ideas. I recall him being quite pacey and direct but he was easily found out at league two level”

You would think that given that the Gary/Pete Johnson combo thought he was a good signing for L2 in August, he should be a good signing for us two levels below a few months later. They've put him straight into the side today as well, so must have belief in him. Welcome Kalvin!

I'm sure it's already been mentioned somewhere, but GJ has a knack of discovering raw players and moving them on higher up. Signed Kieffer Moore from Dorchester when he was at Yeovil, and also Mohamed Eisa from Greenwich Borough to Cheltenham (now moved to Bristol City). Let's hope Kalvin is our version of this?

I have a friend who is also a CTFC supporter and he believes KK will prove a good sigining and has potential to play at higher levels. Will be interesting to see how things go today?

Wow. He looks like Messi with that lot.

He jogs faster than most people sprint, has skills to boot and seems to keep everything really simple. His through balls weren't great but I'm sure the coaches would work on that.

I was going to suggest we sign the big guy up front but he was totally useless. Missed an absolute sitter.

A creative midfield (?) player who needs games, I am sure he will an asset to the team.

That video looks like someone has introduced mbappe to play against an under 9's team. No wonder Johnson signed him.

On that showing looks a useful signing.

Essuman, I would think.

More to the point who will take Lemonheigh-Evans' place in the Torquay midfield tomorrow? Has Chris Regis definitely left the club? He would be the obvious short-term replacement.
