Stats look good, can't honestly say I'd ever heard of him though.
Likewise, impressive scoring record last year. Didn't see this one coming at all. |

Good news.. sounds like he did the business last year. Grimsby fans seem to be gutted.
His age could work in our favour too- if he has a good season with us this season then less likely to be poached next summer.

Meh
Is this the same Ralphy that was crestfallen at not signing Adam Birchall? |

This signing was mentioned a while back by Grimsby fans but kind of forgotten with all of the other strikers that have come and gone.
Paolo did say that when signings were made there could be 2 or 3 in quick succession.
Hang onto your hats?

Better record than Birchall... in better leagues.

His numbers look comparable to Birchall in truth all be it slightly older. Wait and see i guess but not one thats gets me particularly excited, guess it depends if PDC thinks this is one of his squad players or a starting XI player

goal scoring stats wise he's fluctuated between excellent and not so excellent.
if he is in the middle of that range next year thatll be good enough with another striker doing the same!
more importantly we can shout aaaaalan at him for no good reason.
excellent.

Dover fans saying Birchall is still their player as Gillingham played him in a friendly the other night and the transfer is not complete. Gillingham have not payed for him and no money has been received, perhaps they are struggling to find it!

Can't argue with the fact he has a lot of experience at this level and scored 25 goals last season in the Conference. Should be decent enough at this level.

Interesting to note that the Grimsby Evening Telegraph is reporting they only agreed to a six-figure fee from us after he had handed in a transfer request!! Also they reported on Wednesday that an offer for him from Luton had been turned down - also reported interest from Scunthorpe, Wimbledon, Stevenage . . . . . . and the fucking pikeys!!!!
