Stu Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Seems he was playing regularly for Southend until Chris Powell came in, who promptly binned him. Bit like the Harry Davis situation - and on that note, slightly dispiriting seeing him every week on the Football League highlights as Grimsby get gubbed yet again.

Hendo Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 27 minutes ago, JJ McG said: Ferdinand would be a terrific signing, 33 is still a decent age and he has a wealth of experience, exactly what we need. Indeed, I was looking at the list of centre half free agents and noticed his name, before immediately discounting it as I thought he'd be out our league. Would be just the man to help our younger defenders through a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Ferdinand would be an excellent signing. My one and only concern though... Why is a trial required for someone of his proven ability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true chap. However, in his West Ham days he’d have been up against some of the best teams in Europe, week in week out. Big difference between Liverpool and Livingston.I think he’d be a brilliant signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was, he wouldn't be anywhere near us. The question was "Why is a trial required for a player of his proven ability?" I'm assuming the 'proven ability' in question is the ability he showcased at West Ham, Sunderland and QPR, so the trial is to gauge his ability which as you rightly say will not be what it was. Which is kinda the implication in my reply... Edited September 10, 2018 by Soctty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good standard of signing it would appear......it seems English non league is not where it is at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
