OK then 21 appearances 1 goal still can't disguise its a dud signing in a long list of dud signings by Goodwin.

f**king hell 🙄

widely acknowledged that he didn’t quite score enough, but helped to bring out more from Obika.

What I don't get with some posters is their 'write off' attitude to any player that is maybe going to join us.

Through the years we have taken quite a few players on who didn't set the heather on fire with the club they were with previously and they have proved to be good additions to the squad.

If Erwin comes to Saints, he comes with a reasonable pedigree and it's down to the coaching staff to get the best out of him. There are unfound gem stones out there, picking the right one is never easy, but possible, in all walks of life.

There is an element that probably are looking for the heady days of signing players that we'd heard of and had real experience at a decent level.

There are also an element that slaver over a 1min 38 second You Tube video of some unknown from a league most have never heard of, without Googlng.

I'm more inclined to let it pan out and see what happens.

The Killie fans seemed to rate him before he went abroad.

I mind first seeing Erwin in the play off where they kept rangers down 😊, not just for the after the match incident, thought he was a good player and wasn’t surprised he had won a move down to Leeds, not really heard much exciting about him since but I do think I remember Jim trying to get him before he picked county. Thought the Iran move was a weird one but a young lad with an offer like that would be hard to turn down, as with every player that signs he gets a clean slate and my full backing. Hope him and Dennis turn out class signings

They did indeed.

However, some of our fans know better.🤡

Like I said. Been some time since we had someone with an Afro 😉

[foxbar_bud 1,716]

Is the left back a loan or permanent signing?

That’s who I was thinking but he’s not in contract with anyone and I’m sure it was reported as a loan

Two year deal.

Might change his mind with 2 Covid cases in 24 hours.

Two year deal.

Shares his first name with the first name of a player from the 2000 championship winning squad and shares his surname with the surname of a different player from the 2000 championship squad?

Junior Baltacha

[Sonny 8,791]

The player in question is experienced and versatile. Think he will be a valuable addition to the squad as he has played in various positions all down the left side.
