Intriguing. Beer? Sven? The return of Balint Bajner? There's nothing on Facebook.

I remember him, he was a right pain in the backside. Hope he can stay fit!

People compared him rather flatteringly to Dele Alli [pundits and fans].

A good player but someone who declined after his hype, mostly due to the fact Coventry progressed quicker than he did. I watched his interview, he spoke of clichés and I do believe him when he said that he was keen to get going. However, his body language would suggest he's disappointed nonetheless to be here in the National League. It takes nothing away from what he said, it's only natural but his decision after leaving Coventry wasn't a good call.

Let's hope he can move on with his career; I think he should prove to be decent enough.

Bit harsh that. He looked the real deal in the season we met Coventry in the play-offs, but he ruptured his cruciate ligament that November and didn't play again. And that was the first of three cruciate ligament injuries that have caused him to spend nearly three years out injured. He can probably count himself lucky he hasn't had to hang up his boots. Since coming back from the last one a season and a half ago he's played a grand total of 109 minutes of league football.

He badly needs to kick-start his career again and now he's got the opportunity to do it in a winning team. Our recruitment team do their homework these days, so hopefully it'll pay off!

I should've perhaps added about his injuries to blunt the harshness of what was quoted by DangerousSausage.

It's a good coup for us, even with his injury history.

On a positive note, doesn't it show how far Notts has come in regard to working with players who need extra care? We're almost what some might call a specialist at it now. Some people may say it's down to the player's desire, like Cal Roberts, but I really think the club's medical system is very good now at our level.

No longer at risk of further injury, both players and medical staff work hard to get the best possible return out of the game.

If we hung onto Regan Booty a little longer, it might be a point more would agree.

Obviously it's down to the right age too, but even our more senior players we appear to look after well.

Much better than the days of gambling on the likes of Billy Daniels [who I really wanted to see work out for us].

Something Coventry could perhaps cope better with considering the connections I've just made.
