Merthyr's Erling Reesand

[J_B]

Jamie Vardy was the same age. Worth a punt - get it sorted mun! What is there to lose?

Yes, Ian Wright only started scoring regularly for Crystal Palace when he was 25 and signed for Arsenal just before his 28th birthday. He didn’t do badly at Highbury.

Can't be any worse than Liam Cullen, worth a punt.

Kenny Deuchar - not so much non league but the good doctor was always one who people tallked up back in the day

Tommy Mutton of course,

Tommy Mutton of course,

Now you’re showing your age.

Is this thread about suggesting we should take a punt on a Merthyr striker because he is scoring lower league goals

If so then god help us

I wasnt suggesting we should buy him. It's just for me an interesting side story from another Welsh Club. I mean

23/24 - 38 goals
24/25 - 33
25/26 - 21
in November - league goals only - 18 games played = 46 game season - and in higher league this season

Newport County are mental if they dont take the risk, a local lad who would give everything for the shirt

Owen Money keeps raving about Rees on his Saturday show

 

[CSF]

Am I the only one who tried googling Erling Reesand as I didn't know who he was and found nothing

So, his name is actually Ricardo Rees

There's a chap in the gym I speak to most days, but especially Mondays, catch up on the football, he always asks about Wycombe and I do the same with Merthyr.

I had read the thread before you posted so was eager to show that I knew about this particular player and he had no clue who I was talking about. Kept telling me it was Ricardo Rees, I even showed him the title.

After the gym i read the rest of the thread!! Now I get it.

Gretna! There is a blast from the past.
I remember when Dai Webley was being discussed, didn't he come down to train with us for a week?

Regards this Rees, looks like he is coming up to 26 soon. Realistically due to his age, we wouldn't take the punt but might certainly as suggested above be worth Newport taking a chance on him.

Maybe we could sign home next year, could be a decent League One player.
