2 New Signings Announced

[portugull]

Dan Holman & Chiori Johnson have signed for United after pre season trials.
Holman is no surprise but Johnson was schooled at Arsenal and later signed for Bolton before Bolton went bust.

Gary and Aaron Downes know Holman well and Gary is convinced he will score goals for United so I for one will not bet against it.

No doubt GJ thought Manny Duku and Josh Umerah would score goals for United as well. Be honest, none of us thought we would have to resort to signing a player who has already retired from the game and whose form over the last three years is patchy to say the least, in order to get a striker. If anything it shows how difficult it is to get players to come to Torquay United.
As someone else has said this brings back memories of the Rory Fallon debacle. Don't get me wrong, I want Holman to succeed but this is a gamble. Unfortunately I think there were no other options available, GJ obviously does not think Koszela is anywhere near the first team and like I said our club is simply not attractive to other players.

I'm sure that GJ would bow to your obvious superior knowledge of football.
I'd rather go with his judgement than yours.
Apart from the fact that Holman has now actually scored....
