Castro

[countygump]

Been released by WBA today.

Might be worth a look? Or would he be aiming higher, and not willing to come here for what we'd want to pay? If anyone could improve his all round game it's Lukey.

Damn, I thought this was a post about Cuba.

Lol.

He has. Along with quite a few other young uns.

He'll definitely be on the radar. But I have full faith in our recruitment team to judge if he's worth a further punt or not. If he wants guaranteed starts he'll probably need to look elsewhere.

A player I wouldn't be sad to see back at the club, thought he definitely had something about him, that Goal at York was sensational too 👌

I liked Castro as a player, very strong and could cover ground rapidly as well as real goal threat. I'd definitely like to see him back. I thought he looked the kind of player who could improve with playing time.

I thought he got fairly limp reviews on here and was seen as a bit lazy other than his goals. Seems not to be the case now? Never saw him play. What does he add over what we have in the locker?

Height, strength, pace and he can be direct running with the ball and goal threat as he can whack a moving ball, not just dead balls. There's a rawness about him but I thought he had that little bit of star quality that can change a game.
Away at York and S****horpe he looked star material. Home to Coalville in the cup he looked poor.

Good comment. He had some real flair, mobility, pace and power. In L2 he'd be a massive talent potentially. Williams and his team could provide him with the structure to improve as a player of that I am certain. Does he see himself better than L2, would he approach it with the right attitude? I think he'd be worth a punt if willing to come.

Sorry. I don’t want him back. Plenty have offered good attributes but clearly one thing he didn’t have was heart. Where was a willingness to fight for his place? He felt he was better than what he is and didn’t have the patience to stay, improve and get the inevitable chance.
Let’s be honest. If he’d have stayed, we wouldn’t have gone and got JJ. Now he has signed for 2 years, there’s no room at the inn for Castro.

My view exactly
