Knights sign Filipo

Why?

Also, if we're going to start re-signing players who have been sacked by us in the past, surely we'd have to start with Wicks

 

[Nuffy]

Maybe he's the big signing due before June 30.

Seriously, what's the point to this signing.................

 

[Frederick]

Bennett must rate him for whatever reason

 

[The Showstopper]

What an insult. Seriously sick of our desperate non event recruitment.

 

[Swarzey]

Ugh. We have so much space in the cap and we're signing blokes like Filipo?

 

[Apey]

Watch out top 8. We're coming for you.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Are we as bad as souffs used to be?

 

[Noname36]

Tbh I'm surprised we even managed to get Filipo here at the moment. Don't care too much because he'd be dirt cheap and we have no forward depth...but still, must be scraping the bottom of the barrel now (not that I could blame anyone for not coming here at the moment - they'd be absolutely insane to).

 

[Burwood]

Wasn't Filipo always coming back here since the day we terminated his contract?

 

[knightsarmy]

at least we are signing guys we sacked and they are injured

 

[perverse]

I can't ever remember being more underwhelmed.

 

[cram]

At the moment we will only sign people who can't sign anywhere else. Seriously, who would risk signing with us oven the instability.

 

[Misanthrope]

So mediocre, I don't even remember us sacking him in the first place.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

If he didn't have an unusual name I doubt I would have remembered who he was

 

[RHCP]

Jeez you lot are cynical. I'll wait to see how he plays (if at all) before I pass judgment.

Silver lining: at least it's not Kaufusi.

 

[Matt23]

Silver lining: at least it's not Kaufusi.

...don't give them idea's #-o

 

[K-Man]

Marvin has three things going for him: footwork, the ability to pass, and the fact he doesn't have a lot of competition in regards to either of the first two things.

He's probably too small to ever really be more than a bit-part first grader, but given the issues we have at present I'd take a player with his attributes over a bigger plodder with zero attacking spark.

He's like a poor man's Reni Maitua, which as bad is it sounds has to be better than a poor man's Chris Houston. Or even actual Chris Houston.
