Wasn`t he on trial with us a month a go

No, he was on trial at Shrewsbury but was being linked with us.

It's interesting (well maybe not) that one can prefix the word "citizen" to both his Christian name and surname

Good spot! Citizen Smith of the Coventry Popular Front

So now we're signing players from Hitchin? Transfer strategy gone wrong!

Really? Same went mad about the Forest Green Reject!

Read a bit on Shrewsbury forum and looks like he did well in the trial games but they didn't have the budget to sign him allegedly as the manager wants another experienced defender in as well. Sounds familiar.

How many levels are Hitchin below FGR? At least 2??

I think it is 2.

My point wasn't the level, it was people going mad about the level they are at without actually knowing anything about them or seeing them play.

 

[robbiekeane]

Look at Jodi Jones from the conference, looks an unbelievable signing. Noone knows yet

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

A decent footballer is a decent footballer at any level. At 19 he's just making his way in the game. Not all kids are at academies when they start out in the game for many many reasons. If Mowbray thinks he's good enough then get him onboard.

Indeed, we once signed a left back from Wealdstone

Yeah but he went on to do nothing

Stuart Pearce ?

 

[ollyservetta]

Yeah but he went on to do nothing

made my day dressed in fancy dress at a madness concert , England captain at the time

 

[oucho]

OK I'll just shut up now.

 

[CovisGod]

I'd prefer us to sign young hungry uncovered gems from the lower leagues than round the houses unfit 40 year old donkeys that had 1 average season in the Prem 10 years ago....

Just personal preference like....

This was about ten days ago

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

He's just the type of player I'm happy we try to sign.

Up coming talent from the lower leagues. Much better than journey men who don't give a shit anymore and just pick up a wage.

If Premiership and Championship clubs are interested in him then he must be quality, hope TM offers him a deal soon before bigger clubs come calling

Jodi Jones has never played in the conference

 

[ollyservetta]

haven't some people learnt nowt by the signing of stokes , what a player he has turned out to be for us , id rather watch us play with passion from players who care than a team of overpaid has beens who could not give a flying about us .

 

[no_loyalty]

Jodi Jones has never played in the conference

I think he means when we signed Jodi Jones permanently, his club were in the conference?

 

[ollyservetta]

and to add , if conference / lower league players are all we can get and they want to be here , show passion and give their all ,so be it ,as long as ccfc exists ill support them in what ever league we are in or standard of football we play

 

[CCFC88]

I think he means when we signed Jodi Jones permanently, his club were in the conference?

Probably, but to say we signed him from the conference isn't a very true statement but it just fits better in this thread than saying we signed a League 2 player.

 

[ccfcrob]

Good spot! Citizen Smith of the Coventry Popular Front

Are they a branch of the Judean Peoples Front or the Peoples Front Of Judeah?

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Said when he was first linked the lads I know that play with at Hitchin say he will undoubtedly go onto play pro in the football league just a matter of when and who with.

From what I've heard I would have him in here.

 

[robbiekeane]

I mean, we signed him from a conference club but whatever, my point is he's a lower league player and he looks class.

 

[ccfcway]

ha ha ha ha ha

good one !!

There are plenty of players who have come to this level from non league and are more than good enough. Give the kid a chance. I'm willing to bet none of you have seen him play, so not sure you're qualified to comment on whether he is good enough.

Jamie Vardy was playing at the same level a few years back with Stocksbridge Park Steels. Maybe he's not good enough either.

 

[no_loyalty]

Any news on Smith yet? is he still training with us?

 

[Hobo]

So now we're signing players from Hitchin? Transfer strategy gone wrong!

Yeah it started when we signed Stuart Pearce from Wealdstone. I mean signing players from non league the very thought tut!

 

[clint van damme]

haven't some people learnt nowt by the signing of stokes , what a player he has turned out to be for us , id rather watch us play with passion from players who care than a team of overpaid has beens who could not give a flying about us .

there's a fair number of our support never do.

 

[covcity4life]
