New Signing: John-Prince Rylah

Orange Gull · Post by **Orange Gull** » 04 Feb 2016, 10:37

A former Millwall winger aged 19, not too much information on him but he has made appearances for clubs such as Walton Casuals and Chatham Town this season. Walton being in the Isthmian Division One South, and Chatham in the Southern Division One South. Anyone know anything about him?

He can be seen scoring a goal in this clip, but not sure whether it's the 2nd or 3rd.

Right type of player to be going for, although I know nothing about the player.

He must have a good agent to get a deal considering his lack of experience. In a relegation battle I hope he can raise his game but in times like this we really need experienced professionals to get out of the mess. Still, good luck to him.

The Club website says he can play on Saturday but I thought that I had read that he scored a goal for Walton in the FA Trophy.

It's not fair to judge the lad until we've seen him play of course. But I don't see 'he's the right type of player to be going for' when we've already got enough wing cover. What we urgently need is another player who can play up front.

I do think this is a new tactic by Nico and the board ie signing players with ridiculous names.

First there was Danny Ratchett, then we've got Itchy Fanny Adams. Now we've got Frankie Prince John (I can only think that his name is the wrong way around)

Whatever happened to proper players with proper names like John Smith, Jimmy Dunne and John Benson. If Shepherd Murombedzie had come up against any of these three with his dayglow pink boots they would have kicked his arse to Nagasaki and back again!

At leasy we resisted the urge to ditch Nicholson for that horrible Larcombe fellow

Never heard of him.

Must be shit.

We're doomed.

Well we are doomed. 9/1 on to be relegated says it all.

He did score for Walton Casuals in their FA Trophy defeat to Herne Bay.

Yo brucie, if you're so confident we're relegated, why not dump all your savings on those odds and make some free money?

This is the right type of player to go for, the experienced players we all after come in at £700 PW plus, that's beyond our club right now, we have to go for young , hungry players who are looking to develop and kick start their careers, this lad hopefully fits in to that bracket, and this is the sort of player we will attract for the sort of money our club is now offering, it seems there are still many that can't accept what TUFC is today.

Another reason why this the right type of player, if he does develop no reason why the club can't get decent money for him down the line. We've been crying out for pace in attack all season, we now have Ajala, Allen, and I will presume Rylah has some raw pace about him, hopefully that will give us more of an attacking threat, help the team to hold possession for longer, which currently is one of our biggest downfalls, which in turn will take some pressure of our fragile back line.

It also has to be remembered Iffy Allen, can play as both a winger or forward player, so Nicho has options now.

Brucie is right! Anyone who mentions the second greatest player ever to play for TUFC (John Smith) cannot be wrong: Good old brucie!

A diamond in the rough. In 18 months' time we'll sell him to Chelsea or Man U for £5 million..

Full marks for your optimism Forever, but like most of us, I am disillusioned with what has happened at Plainmoor this season. I really hope you are proved right but young, hungry players who are looking to develop and kick start their careers are exactly the players that Paul Cox signed and where are they all now? I can think of several wingers who came with promise - Macklin, Chappell, Cameron, Murombedzi (I'm sure there are others I've forgotten, evidence of what a big impression they made). It's a chicken and egg situation - as you say, we can't afford experienced players and inexperienced hopefuls aren't going to get us out of the mire we're in. Why has this lad drifted down to playing for teams we've barely heard of?

On the other side of the coin, he must have been recommended to us and he has been prepared to come to a club next to bottom in the National League on a non-contract basis so good on him for that. We shall see ........
