More experienced than Byers, would appear to be more capable than Byers, likely to cost no more than Byers.

No problem.

Struggling to see why this has been met with negativity in some quarters. 26 goals, 21 assists in 150ish games is a decent return for someone who isn't a striker and certainly a better option than say Garrick (or Barrow when he was here) etc.

Feels like a decent signing

Hmm....Is this an Andy Scott signing or a Russell Martin signing?

Just so I can get this straight... Unless we sign someone, jamal Lowe will be our striker this season?

Agreed, someone who scores or assists one in every three is a very solid investment for a free transfer. It also fills a problem position of ours in the lack of a consistent and experienced playmaker in the no 10 position.

A smart signing in my eyes

Don't know anything about him but this signing screams numbers more than it does upgrade.

I think we're going to have busy treatment room this year and I'm not sure if we're see much of Walsh or this guy.

 

[Manselton Jack]

Seems a decent signing to add some depth & experience to the squad but I do find it odd that we're going for a third player released by a team we've finished comfortably above for the last 2 seasons.
This one makes more sense to me than Walsh though.

We thought the same with Korey Smith when he signed and he turned out ok. Let's hope for more of the same.

Maybe released due to his wages and Pearson playing a different style. Sounds more suited for us. Let's see who else comes in for a balanced view of where he fits(if he signs)

I'm sure he's decent, but there's no reason to believe he's better than what we have or what we're letting walk out of the door. Korey Smith is decent, but for a player like him to flourish he needs to play every game - the role in midfield demands it, and unfortunately he's not quite good enough to be that guy, and so we never have a truly well functioning midfield. Grimes and Smith are not Allen and Britton, or even Fer and Grimes unfortunately.

From what I can tell, people may need to start getting used to the idea of not having an out and out striker, but by design this time.

Which is fine. A mobile, fluid forward line rather than one rigidly deployed could be fun and effective.
