I think it's a little unfair on Sow - have many of you seen him play in the Dev team? When he was signed Millen was quoted as saying that he wouldn't be for the first team or prem 25 he would be for the dev squad. He seems something of a target man. To my knowledge this is something we don't have in the dev squad (if you ignore Wilbs appearances for that squad).

Has anyone seen enough of the dev team fixtures to make an informed comment about him and not just taking out frustrations from Holloway's dealings on a lad most of you could probably not even pick out of a line up?

i get what you're saying but wouldn't it be better to find someone a little younger and use the development team to develop them into a first team player? That way they coul break into the first team with other similarly aged players who had the ability.

Why would anyone chose to be a Seagull? The Eagle is a far superior creature.

My fantasy teams are the worst in the world so I'm going to come out and say he is rubbish just to keep to my known ability at judging wrongly so he knocks 50 in for us next season.

My point is osman sow will never come close to playing a league game for us whether it be in the premiership or championship. For me, pointless signing. Can't see us why he would be signed just for the development team. 23 years old, I'd rather the likes of Kaikai, sekajja, tieku and any other young player get there chance at development level.

I would put money on it? would you bet against me?

I don't have to justify anything. I have not made any unfounded bold statements about someone I have very very little knowledge of. I suggested it was a little unfair to state that he is not even good enough for a Championship outing. I agree that he most likely wouldn't be up to prem level but Millen did state when they were negotiating that he was being signed for the dev squad and I have suggested that perhaps he was signed with an eye on planning for a short term future in the Champ.

This is a non argument. I was interested to know more about him but in this thread I have learned nothing except rossboss thinks he will never play a competitive game for us unless in a much lower division.
