I think we got him for free, in that I checked the Chelmsford FC site and it states, 'they offered him a contract'.

No, it definitely wasn't him trialling on Tuesday. | ![](/images/avatars/1107.gif) |

Potential? Still, let’s write him off before he’s even kicked a ball for us eh? That’ll help. | ![](/images/avatars/1007.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Ody Alfa signs for Dale on 21:05 - Jul 25 with 2791 views | RailClaret | Bit of a weird one for you lads. Out of his 33 league games, he only completed the 90 minutes in five games. Not NL quality yet, was a good impact sub option for us, but that's all. Fair play if he does turn into being a worldbeater for you lot, but I just can't see it. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Yeah, the tweet that announced the signing was at 5pm. That said, the basic output from the OS ahead of the first home friendly will hopefully be addressed tomorrow. As mentioned previously, the lack of insight from the manager and more detailed analysis of the first three games has been disappointing. | ![](/images/avatars/1212.gif) |

Not including youth players and not accounting for the fact many of these players can play in other positions, here you go: ROCHDALE AFC SEASON 2024/25 GOALKEEPERS Brad Kelly Luke McNicholas LEFT-BACKS Finn Armstrong Sam Beckwith CENTRE-BACKS Ethan Ebanks-Landell Kyle Ferguson RIGHT-BACKS Tobi Adebayo-Rowling Kyron Gordon LEFT WING Aidan Barlow Ody Alfa CENTRE MIDFIELD Harvey Gilmour Ryan East Aaron Henry RIGHT WING Tarryn Allarakhia ATTACKING MIDFIELD Connor McBride FORWARDS Devante Rodney Kairo Mitchell Ian Henderson [Post edited 26 Jul 11:12]

Would agree that centre half and centre forward look the areas with least cover. We need to remember that there is no transfer window though, so still no need to rush into transfers at this stage and tie up the budget. | ![](/images/avatars/1159.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

The lack of transfer window is the point to keep in mind. Last season, McNulty's budget restricted who he could sign geographically, and also his ability to bolster the squad around January. Neither such restriction is in place this season. | ![](/images/avatars/1214.gif) |
