I mentioned that he might be worth a go on the left, he seems reasonably two-footed and doesn't lack the pace, skill or workrate to play there. I think he'd be more suited to a withdrawn role behind the front two.

Sensible really. He isn't a guarenteed starter for Togo while he needs to impress his new employers.
Good lad.

Glad he's available for selection, I'd like to see him play behind the front two, he seems to have good awareness and can pick a pass.
A Togo international though, has Town ever had a more cosmopolitan squad? - I mean theres not many English players in the 1st team squad, even less are considered regulars - Lucas, Rose, Morrison, Timlin, Austin, Prutton, Kennedy, Evans (although coming from Cricklade is like coming from another country).... any more?
Thom Dossevi (Togo)
Douglas, O'Brien, Sheehan (Irish)
Cuthbert, McGovern, Caddis, Ferry (Scot)
JFL (Haiti)
Vince Pericard (Cameroon)
Kevin Kwaku Osei-Kuffour Amankwaah (although born in Laaandon, is declared for Ghana)
Jakub Jesionkowski (Poland)
Bill Bodin (Taff)

I know he's played at some level for the ROI and I was at some do or other and heard him speak and was sure he had an accent, maybe I ws pissed and imagined it. |

Fuck me, what a motley bunch of players...
I liked Invincible and Van Der Linden (when played in defence)
O'Halloran always looked like a good player before that awful tackle in sunny Dorchester.
The rest of them, dear me... and don't get me started on Tuomela, he surely was a Ali Dia type charlatan..

More likely down to money. He'll get more in bonuses for sitting on the bench at Swindon than he will playing for Togo. Plus Swindon pay for the transport, Togo would make him pay for his own plane ticket (and the half time oranges). He's probably made a grand saying no. |

More in bonuses? What are you on about? Your saying he's made money by not playing for them. Highly unlikely |

It's also highly unlikely that Cumbrian separatists will shoot up the bus on the way to the ground.
