The Original 59er 1,015 Report post Posted September 10, 2020 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. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattman 1,290 Report post Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) 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 Edited September 10, 2020 by mattman 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sonny 8,791 Report post Posted September 11, 2020 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. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
