Striker, released by Everton, product of Oldham yoof system, 20 years, in 2008 loaned to Yeovil (0 appearance??!) and Macclesfield ( 3 appearances)
Just to save you looking it up in Wkipedia.
-----
Worth a look I guess. Bit worried about the options up front at teh moment, but I guess there aren't any experienced strikers available at the right price. Or are there....

Yeah, just seen that, could be interesting! Hailed as the "New Rooney" when Everton signed him - here |

Everton paid approx 200k for him when he was 16. Highly rated at Oldham as a youth team player but according to Evertonians he was nowhere near the standard required and failed to develop as expected. In the end he made a couple of reserve team appearances and became a forgotten man.
The same reserve team Jukebox Jury was playing in, which doesn’t exactly bode well if he couldn’t get a game.
Worth a look I’m sure but he sounds like our very own Mark Draycott.

He's not coming here...or Samba. http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/headlines/4505119.Striker_light_/I'm especially glad Samba isn't coming. We don't need a journeyman. And the Adver hacks wouldn't be able to stop talking about Samba football...which they haven't done now for 20 years since Ardiles was in charge. |

Fuck that Ardiles.
If you can't talk about Samba football then what else is there to talk about?

whilst i understand us being thrifty and looking at free transfers there's usually a reason for them being released. i am now getting quite concerned that these seem to be the only players we're looking at, especially as we keep taking midfielders on when we've got bigger problems elsewhere.
i do have confidence in DW and don't claim to know the financial clout we have or which "irons are in the fire" i would have preferred us to have gotten past the 1 striker in a squad phase a while ago, and a left back.
yours faithfully

The first and last seem reasonable options. I think Timlin and Casal can be positioned at left back - play is a real stretch. |

Are we still considering Casal as an option anywhere on the pitch? The guy is clearly finished here.

I'd give him the captaincy. He's clearly a legend. |
