📝Junior Morias Signs

He's not a big fella. 5ft 8. Was hoping for twice that!

Why? When our strategy is to keep the ball on the ground

Poor signing IMO and paying a fee is ridiculous.
We should be looking to sign league 2 and bottom end league 1 standard players if we was wanting to get promoted this season what’s this lad going to do next season if we go up and we’ve paid a fee!
He’s nowhere near league 2 standard, couldn’t score more than 2 goals in 40 games 2 year ago in a pub league for st Mirren.
I find this signing underwhelming and to pay a fee for a bench warmer is ludicrous.
If anyone says it’s to replace macca next season then god help us next season because this lad has never done anything in the 13 clubs he’s played for before he joined daggers.

You mean like that Langstaff fella that was signed from the League below?

Give LW and the recruitment team some credit

He looks a livewire and as others have said, he seems to know where the bag de l'onion is and has done for the past season or so. Lets see what he's got. I, like quite a few others on this board, have learned, (sometimes reluctantly), to trust the process. We've had more successes than failures, there's no denying that.

Yeah our recruitment policy is proving time and time again that it has no idea how to spot quality and potential. 🤷🏻*♂️

The recruitment/ quality of #radar signings debate when on a frankly embarrassingly long time on this message board.

Welcome about Junior... ok so his goal scoring hasn't been earth shattering the last few seasons but at Notts he will be prob be playing with better players than the likes of St Mirren, really looking forward to seeing what he can do with service from Rodders and Co.

Jones I believe has another year on his contract at Oxford and once Robinson was sacked, Craig Short who was put in temporary charge enquired about recalling him but they weren't allowed.

Lemonheigh-Evans might be a possibility if Stockport go up, he doesn't fit in their team now, if they go into league one, they might let him leave

Wiki:
On 29 July 2022, Jones signed a one-year contract, with the option for a further year, with Oxford United.

He’s out of contract this summer and if Notts get promoted, I’d be seriously pizzed off if went didn’t sign him.

Lol we have had folks moaning all season about us being short on strikers and as soon as we sign one, some people are pretty sure in some cases, or certain in others that it is because Macca is off LMFAO.
As regards his goal tally I think it is easy now to compare anyone to Macca, so most goal totals are going to look poor. Adam Chicksen had a pretty meagre scoring record until LW got hold of him, so past performance is no guarantee of future performance.
We really should have learnt to have more trust in the radar, and that we are not a moneyball club, (how many times for f*ck sake). The model is to move the club forward in the most appropriate way, not buy young and cheap to sell for profit.
Welcome on board JM and COYP

So you want us to go back to the recruitment policy that got us relegated to non league?

[jackal2]

Welcome Junior. At 27 we could be getting a player just approaching his peak, and his goal record in the National League with Dagenham is certainly respectable. The way we play could add value to him.

[the_anticlough]

Very happy with this.
Obviously a massive need at the moment.
Even in the short-term, imagine we do end up in the play-offs, imagine if Maca had a injury and couldn't play in them, imagine if we were 1-0 down in the last 20mins and we had zero fit strikers in the squad?
