It's easy to understand the exuberance of the family of a young professional footballer, who has secured a deal after months of uncertainty. It's natural, but perhaps unwise to splash it on social media.
Importantly, it seems that the information was released AFTER the player has/had finalised the deal, if the wording was accurate.
In that event, all talk of being gazumped is a waste of hot air. It's a done deal.
The club/player/agent are no doubt agreed on a time to make it public knowledge.
We'll all know one way or the other quite soon.

Personally I feel this is getting to the stage of complete farce now with the lack of transparent communication .
Midfield for me is an area where we still need quality and physicality and from what bits I've seen , and what I've read , this lad seems to tick boxes . However if h's not considered good enough and no del is likely , at least give us the facts of the case .

I didn't go to Darlo so not seen the lad play (other than YouTube clips), but if he can bring physicality, mobility and an ability to pass to a Dale player he's replacing Ball!

A midfield reinforcement, phew. We had Kelly and Brierley on the bench on Saturday. Now unlike some I like them both, but one of them is built like 14 year old while the other looks about 14. If your in front and the opposition are chasing it they are likely types, but if your trying to grind your way back into a game I think we need another option. Box to box sounds good. Welcome Connor and good luck.

A bit of a concern is to wonder as to whether he thinks regardless of his little experience at our level ,that a short term contract gives him a chance to hopefully impress to earn a quick possibility of moving on come January because he views himself of being better than us.

That might well be the case. In order to get that move he would have to deliver 5-6 months of very eye catching football. If he's going to win us points then I'll take it, at the moment.*

Standard new signing interview. Same questions the "interviewer" asks of all our new signings and standard responses (as you'd expect)
Maybe just once they can ask something different?
"What's your favourite pie?"
"Which football clubs do you have an irrational hatred for?"
"Is your partner fit? Rate him/her on a scale of 1 to 10"
Another question would be “ Have you got any left footed friends that can play full back or wing back on a regular basis without getting injured ?” If so can you please let Mr Stockdale know ? Thank you.

The club do a series called 'Getting to Know' or similar, where they ask different questions like favourite foods, favourite holidays, are you good at other sports, who do you support etc, so your wish has already been granted.

I don't see it as a huge issue, so long as its managed correctly.
In the interview with James Ball after Burton, he said along the lines of "...if Odoh keeps playing like that he won't be here much longer..."
We've always been a club for players to develop / prove themselves before being sold on at a profit... it just seems to be more of an 'open secret' at the minute. Its also precisely why I don't think we'll ever see anyone get close to Jonah for appearances or Hendo for goals ever again.

That reminds me, Henderson made his 300th league appearance for Dale on Saturday.
When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf?
