They’ve signed 4, FOUR prop forwards and we couldn’t find one!
It’s not always down to money either, sometimes it’s timing and having your ear close enough to the ground to know who’s potentially going to become available, we seem to be incapable of identifying anyone other than when an agent tries to push deadwood in our direction. We’ve apparently been looking for a year or so, well whose looking, what are they doing to find players who might join us or are they just waiting for a club to contact us with someone they want to offload.
You need to read the whole post, I’ve clearly stated that I’ll give Butler time to show us what he can do but at the same time he’s not a totally unknown quantity is he and his career so far doesn’t inspire, but as I wrote earlier let’s see.
To be fair we've struggled for a long time to sign any props and we have the exact same conversation every year about wverybody else signing props yet we can't find one. The only reason we've been able to sign Dudson, Kasiano for next year is because we have 14 players off contract so we have the cash to splash, and we do like to throw money around on pointless signings. Really glad it's been thrown in the right direction this time for us.
Rob Butler i'm disappointed to see go, i was buzzing when we signed him as he was brilliant for London in SL in 2019. Then Covid struck and he had a year of not playing. He came to us clearly out of shape and never seemed to fully get back in shape again. He's a big unit and aggressive and i hope an extended run in your first team will get his full fitness and form back for you. I don't think you'll go down and i hope you don't, you've got a good squad with some quality players dotted about, and i think you'll hit a higher gear the backend of the season
