28 year old midfielder signed on loan from Kidderminster Harriers

http://www.torquayunited.com/news/artic ... 84967.aspx

KN must have known him during at least part of his time with Kidderminster. Sounds like a good signing, but here's hoping he's fully fit..

Seems odd that the side bottom of the league would let a player leave for a relegation rival, unless they don't rate him or they are the only side in England poorer than us.

Much needed boost for us though. We have 10 players unavailable, which left us with only 16, including Hancox and Odofin. Within a month we should have Fairhurst, Marsh and Carmichael back though.

Actually loo ks more than useful!

I think this is a deal that makes sense for both clubs, Kidderminster do have financial concerns and worries of their own, our club no doubt is picking up some of this lads wages, so Kidderminster get to hang on to his registration with out 100% of the financial risk, we get some much needed to help with our thin on the ground squad.

Kidderminster fans seem to be upset that they're loaning out their best midfielder to a rival. It is an odd move but at least it's not us doing something silly for once.

I imagine he'll partner Richards in the middle with Butler and Hurst on the wings, and it does look to have a nice balance to it. Marsh missing 3 games is a huge blow though, as we look pretty short of options up front. Campion and Fisher looks pretty immobile.

Happy with this signing. Plenty of games at this level, and seems to know where the goal is (didn't he score against us at Aggborough a month or so ago?). As good as we could have hoped for in our current predicament

Some kiddie fans are saying he's not been doing well for them hope he improves with the sea air

Message from the board.


Once again, the Players Fund has aided us in this signing and the Board of Directors and player-manager, Kevin Nicholson, would like to thank everyone who has made a contribution.

On paper this is a shocking signing. A player who cannot get into the start XI in one of the very few teams who are beneath us in the league.

However, Nicho will have played with guy at Kiddy and seen him everyday in training and obviously thinks he can do a job for us. On top of this Kiddy fans mostly seem a but miffed he is leaving.

I have a sneaky he might do well for us!

I have a sneaky feeling that he will be rubbish - I don't think that Nicholson has any contacts.

And that's rubbish. Nicholson is on Facebook and Twitter..

I have watched the You Tube put up by PlainmoorBob and Aman looks a good signing.

At 28 he has experience and Torquay could be just the right club for him. Kevin Nicholson must rate him.

Another positive for me.

Looking at his showcase, he seems to use his peripheral vision well - something that others in the squad need to learn.

I think he'll be very good for us!
