What about Osei Yaw
Yeah I’ve never rated him. A decent Forum member on his day, but his posts are nowhere near consistent enough.

One small point, Fowler was for the youth team, not even a fringe player for the 1st team unlike Grayson. Asonganyi and Allardyce were u21/23 players and at best very, very fringe players.
I was picking out development signings as most of Mark Thomas’s would come under that category as he’s never had the power to go above that.
I believe that’s why he was doing his director of football qualifications for the future.
Didn’t want to really start talking former experienced signings from your Thorne’s to your Winnall’s.
But Fowler wouldn't be in the same discussion as those development players so isn't comparable. Fowler was for the youth team so you'd have to include every Academy player signed at that age on that basis..
Mark Thomas joined in 2014, right?
So over the course of his tenure, we uncovered and signed (amongst others) Roofe, Lundstram, Rothwell, Ledson, Whyte, Brannagan, Dickie, Atkinson, Moore, Sykes & McNally.
Genuinely have no idea how much of a hand he and his team had in any or all of those, but for a club of our size and stature, that's been a hell of a purple patch of finding, signing and developing young British and Irish players.
The recruitment team were aware of Ciaron Brown for a good while before last January.January window 2022.
Browne - KR signing.
Baldock - KR signing.
Smyth - MT & scouting signing. KR approved after watching.
C’Brown - KR signing. Made easier by
Brown’s friendship with Gavin Whyte. Was plan B. Club wanted Jordan Thorniley back.
Trueman (GK) - Emergency loan. KR signing via
Normally yes.. but not when the manager has forced through the youth player signing over Dan Harris. So I think it’s an acceptable inclusion. Don’t you think?
If you want to know the difference between youngsters brought up in NIFL and the LOI.
Check out Trai Humes tackle on James McLean
Karl has form too. Remember Allardyce son joining us? What about Asonganyi? Joe Grayson.. or this summers Jacob Fowler.
It's funny how the majority of fans moan every window how bad its been culminating in this summers s**t show of a window and then say it's a disaster that the person responsible for them leaving!
Anyway, thought this was interesting:
Being overly sensitive there.Would rather that sectarian b*llox was kept to the Old Firm to be honest.

I have it on good authority that we are in for Tom Finney. The doomsayers will complain that he has been dead for a few years but , lets face it the odd 15-20 minutes off the bench and he will tear up League 1.
