    nothing not to like about that signing, excellent stuff.

    I suspect Jacko is more pleased that anyone!

    I don't know, I'm sure someone will be along to say he's too short or we should be playing our own youth left back Archie Edwards instead.

    Talking of Archie Edwards whats happened to him? He was meant to be the next one to come through but seems to have not progressed.

    Doubt it.
    Da Silva is England under 19 captain and is a quality signing for this level.
    Nothing not to like.

    With page out for a significant time we basically have 1 rb and 1 lb in the squad. I think we still need an experienced utility full back who can cover both sides...

    The pictures are definitely not taken this morning so why wait till now to announce? Surely they wouldn't have taken the photos etc before it was all agreed?

    Solly and Barnes doing that will probably be enough from RDs point of view.

    This was announced very early in the morning. Could that be a sign of lots of activity today?

    Probably not but we live in hope!

    And I tend to agree. But if DaSilva breaks down early season (he hasn't had a break all summer) we have nothing. And if Solly has his usual 2 months out and Barnes doesn't hit the ground running we are going to struggle. If feel much more comfortable if we brought in someone like chicksen who can cover both sides.

    All about saving and making money rather than player ability. Nothing has changed.

    Konsa, Lennon, Barnes, Paige, Solly, and now DaSilva. More than enough cover for a league 1 club and I feel any money would be better spent elsewhere.

    I think it's time to lay this one to rest.

    The times I saw him cover at RB, Chicksen was terrible. Completely one footed and vulnerable on his outside

    Don't agree. He's an ordinary League 1 player. I'd rather the money was used for a second right back rather than 3 left backs and 1 right back.

    He had a great game at Bradford which probably secured his move.

    I'm told it's not beyond the realms of possibility that he could have been transported from one place to another

    Or a trick of the light perhaps

    I always liked the name "Albert Quickfall" - played for Sheffield Wednesday and then joined man Utd after the Munich air disaster.
