I've never heard of him to be honest, but there'll be people on here who say they have followed his career from the start.
Is he a replacement for Bruno though?... :sherlock:
There was a confirmation from Welshlad earlier this morning.

Looking at his wikipedia page seems like he might be prone to injury. He hasn't played a 40 game season in three years.
It's a bit out of date, he played 55 games this season. Posted on Incoming but one of my best mates is an Oxford fan, he said:Quote:

He's twice the player of Dunkley (at Wigan) who's done really well there.
Fans know best , nice to get a potentially good (young ) talent in.Quote:

Why do we need another centre back?
There's a rumour that Bruno is in talks elsewhere. Additionally, my own thoughts tell me that Bamba is too old to go through a whole season in the Championship and/or current injury could hinder his fitness levels.Quote:

Remember him ?
He wasn't even in the 25, which seems odd considering we blocked his move to Hull.Quote:

Connolly is surely moving on .
Pelts is just a stand in .
We have no youth in that department.
He got injured IIRC, remember seeing him on crutches not long after the transfer window closed and explained why that deal with Hull didn't happen.Quote:

Because Mr.Warnock is going to follow my advice and convert Sean to a striker. Thereby avoiding having to pay big money for another Gary Madine.:thumbup:
That’s the first signs of madness you know, answering yourself :hehe::hehe:Quote:
