He'll do! Adds a different option and his experience and quality should help us

Seems to know where the net is too

31 yo ....we sometimes get the best out of the ‘oldies’ on their downward trajectory....injuries notwithstanding ...

We’ve signed an actual winger :shock:

Is that the first since Roy Beerens?!

First Canadian international with the club since Bob Lenarduzzi in the 70s.

Not a player I've really liked elsewhere. Hope he'll prove me wrong and have me loving him here.

Someone who can play LW better than no one. At least we know he can't be costing us a lot and if it doesn't work we aren't stuck with him like some previous signings.

good squad filler for me. Hopefully still got his pace, good defensive winger. Lots of experience and know how.

Wouldn't be in my first 11 when we have Azeez, Swift, Ejaria and Dele Bashiru fit, but someone you'd feel comfortable coming in when needed. Which no doubts he will be a fair bit

Seems well thought of by Cardiff fans on Twitter....probably didn't suit McCarthy's style of play...he's not 6 ft 6 and cannot hurl a throw in 40 yards

Other than Harriot, Meite, Popa, Barrow, Aluko, and Masika? Yes.

Meite and Aluko are not wingers. They're wide forwards.

Imagine he'll be on the bench for tomorrow's game.

not sure I'm in on calling someone junior who is in their 30's good signing though.

Is this an example of the Covid market helping us? He's a useful player at this level, and I'm surprised we've been able to sign him on presumably modest wages on a one year deal.

Checked whoscored and up to last season his stats were pretty excellent to be honest - esp last time they went up

Granted he was a few years younger then but hopefully still got it

I know our record of signing a few with latent injuries is not good, but the thought of signing an amputee is :shock: :shock:

I don’t know, the little blind boy with one leg shorter than the other, Bobby Convey, didn’t work out too badly.
