Barnes and Ulloa weren't too bad, were they? I must admit my abiding memory of Toby, other than the pass to Buckley at Peterborough, was the sitter he missed at Wrexham.

I'm distraught, my favourite player has left. Not sure I'll bother going to any games this season now.

I agree. He was just starting to look more than a bit useful when he got injured. Rotten luck.

Often shone in reserve games, a league down and he would have seen more action. Will be a great signing for someone and has the ability to be a quality forward.
Good movement, ball control, knows where the net is and puts in great shots. Sad to see him go, good luck Toby Adgstien.
Richie Barker at Crawley has seen him play, theirs a starting point.

Good luck to the bloke (and any released player that moves on), hope he does well for them and himself.

Personally I thought he could have got a League 2 club but at the end of the day the MTL is better than nothing.

Tel Signs Viking Raider

Caley Thistle have their own version of Norwegian Rhapsody after signing a tall striker who has played for Norway at under-21 level.
Torbjorn Agdestein, who will be 22 in September, has been signed by manager Terry Butcher on a six-month contract after being released by Brighton and Hove Albion.
'Toby', as he is known, has shown his paces with Caley Jags and manager Butcher said: "He is 6 feet one inch tall and gives us the option of height up front -- quite a contrast with wee Billy McKay, our top striker.
"We like the look of Toby, he's young and strong and willing to learn. We're happy he has agreed to sign until the January window to boost our attacking resources and we can make a decision at that point."
Agdestein played for home town team Stord Idrettslag in Norway, scoring 16 goals in 35 appearances, before Gus Poyet signed him for Brighton for a small fee three years ago. He played initially in their development squad.
He made his senior debut in an FA Cup replay agaiinst Wrexham and went on to make six first team appearances for the Seagulls and six more while on loan at Conference side Bath City.

The reason it was introduced was because as the club moved up it was deemed that the gap between Youth Team and Senior Squad, already quite large in League One days, would become unbridgeable. Lads would be playing youth team football, then at 18 a decision would be made and the select few would suddenly be expected to be playing adult football and at Championship standard (or get slated on here for being crap). The DS is a bridge between the two, players can play adult football (reserve level), plus the decision as to whether they're going to make it or not can be put back a few years until they're in their early twenties. In addition it gives the club a chance to have a look at players who've come through the youth ranks at top premiership clubs but haven't got pro contracts there. The concept's fine, and it's still relatively new for us.
