Watching his interview, it's only really happened in the last day or two. Makes me wonder if we had someone else in mind but dropped back onto him because the other move fell through. Either way, good to get someone in who can hopelly bag enough goals for us to have a thoroughly mediocre second half of the season.

Excellent. Good experienced signing with a decent enough pedigree at this level. Let’s just hope he only bothers the goal instead of the physio’s room for the rest of the season.
Welcome Lyle. Or are you really Harvey Knibbs with a yellow sponge on top of your short back and sides?

Interesting signing. I'd see him more as the 9.5 in a Harris side rather than the physical beast Harris seems to prioritise, but I guess Harris has shown signs of adapting his style a bit with us so he could work very well as a direct Kaikai replacement in the current set up. Andrew Yeah he's no target man.

According to Wikipedia he refuses to “take the knee”. I like him already ! Imagine outing yourself like you and a few others have done. Good grief.

Is he eligible to play tomorrow? If he was registered by midday today, then yes. And given we've announced him at 2:30 with signing video and press stuff done, I think it's safe to assume we got him in on time.

Is he eligible to play tomorrow? Deadline was midday today for new signings to be eligible for Saturday so I imagine so.

Outing oneself as being against a divisive, racist Marxist organisation is surely a good thing . Black Lives do of course matter and I’m sure he believes it too.

Quite exciting that this is as Neil Harris signing. Someone he knows and rates. That’s got to count for quite a lot. Very positive.

Quite like the sound of that interview. Sounds like he's hungry to play. I also remember thinking he was playing way below his level when he's graced the Abbey in the past.
But, what I really like. He's got a bit of s**thousery about him.

Let's get Greg back on loan from King's Woking and play him as the target man in a Tayli front two.

Forgot he refused to play for Charlton in their relegation dog fight as didn't want to get injured before his big move...
