Jonny Dixon to Eastbourne Borough

[Easy 10]

Ahhh, McFaul. Two minutes of first team action in an Albion shirt, and he managed to let the ball roll under his foot and out for a throw by the dugouts. I'm not even sure he EVER got a touch of the ball.

Now THAT was an Albion career.

Another transfer masterpiece by Barmy Barry LLoyd

 

[defrocked priest]

He's a Wilkins playerand that's the last we'll see of Jonny Dixon.

 

[Scotty Mac]

its looking more and more like we just signed players for FUN to meet knights LUDICROUS anouncement of 5 signings in this window - mcfaul was NEVER going to play, and dixon has just proven to be a waste of space as well. throw in thomson, and last years transfer window dealings become even more pointless

and 300k on murray was just an excuse to say 'we're in with the big boys by paying a hugely over-inflated price'

 

[Nottseagull]

.... our reserve side would be used for the JPT

You'll be wishing the reserves had been used when we walk out of that tunnel at Wembley, will you?

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Wasn't he a bit useful at Conference level for Aldershot?

 

[El Presidente]

if wilkins was still manager i bet he would have been given a chance long time ago THIS season

my guess would be we would be doing quite well in the league, our reserve side would be used for the JPT like leeds did and arsenal do for the carling

Wilkins signed him and so should take the blame for wasting £55k on a player who was on the pitch for less than an hour during his career.

 

[The Large One]

I suspect it's not the fact that we signed him that pisses people off - we always get people in who don't command a first-team place, Doug Loft being an example.

It's the fact we spunked £55,000 up the wall in the process.

 

[Mendoza]

guess that knight wont be taking the credit for this particular signing then

I dont think so either Scott

 

[Simster]

Wasn't he a bit useful at Conference level for Aldershot?

I was of the impression he was OK there but that most of their fans thought that getting rid at £55k was a decent piece of business on their part.

Oh well.

its a shame some other players didnt have such a short Albion career.

Have we ever really seen enough of Dixon to make a judgement........hes never really gonna get in the team in front of Murray, Forster and all those other top quality strikers weve got at the club is he

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

Dodgy jumper!!

 

[RM-Taylor]

He never made an impression at Grays earlier in the season, so this will be make-or-break for him career wise. If he fails then he won't get another chance at Conference level with another club.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

If he is not good enough at Borough then there could be interest from Bexhill

 

[sten_super]

I was of the impression he was OK there but that most of their fans thought that getting rid at £55k was a decent piece of business on their part.

Oh well.

My half-brother is a Shots fan and said at the time they were delighted to sell him at that price, and that he wasn't really rated that highly.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Dodgy jumper!!

At least it'll keep him warm on the bench at Eastbourne

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

He's travelling with the squad to Wallsall I think.

 

[mona]

Wasn't he a bit useful at Conference level for Aldershot?

I heard that they were dancing on the streets of Aldershot when they got £55K for a reserve player. I suspect he will start on the bench for Eastbourne.

 

[Gritt23]

£50k well spent. With him of the wage bill, perhaps we can get Gatting back now.

I wouldn't bet that he's "off the wage bill" completely. I'd have thought Eastbourne are making a contribution, rather than paying it all.

I think it's a shame that he's never been given a chance. What little I've seen of him, I couldn't possibly give a view on whether he's any good or not.
