Still trying to work this one out. I'm quite confused.

Released by York after having a loan spell in the National League North. If he was 22 or something and had the goal contributions he had last season, then I'd understand, but he's 27.

We have one of these questionable signings in us every window. Will Randall, Charlie Colkett, Curtis Edwards and now Maziar Kouyhar.

People will say give him a chance and no I'm not writing him off, but it's not a signing that a team pushing for League 2 automatics makes.

I don't know what the data has said but I'm not convinced by this one. The other 3 signings have been fine. Really confused about this one.

i think sometimes players like this can surprise, when they fit in a good hard working squad. i understand your view point and i get what you are saying, its all very fair but i do think teams make mistakes when they try to sign players like mk dons have done in recent years. gillingham signed well last season and it took them time, carlisle is another team. maybe we are trying to add some graft and hard workers to our ranks?

While the two new signings today might seem a little underwhelming (especially Maziar Kouhyar,) they have only initially been given a one year deal each. So would suggest that they aren’t the main signings of the summer and there is more of what we need to come. Although I do like the look of Ollie Norburn, might add a bit of steel in midfield. I liked his comment about the importance of winning the second balls, something we struggled with last season.

Its almost like Norburn had his interview written for him!!!!!!!

If we ranked the signings, this one might not be the most popular, but let’s not write him off before he’s even played. Hopefully, he’ll make a big impact when it counts.

We don’t know the club’s plans for him yet, but I’m happy to welcome him to the team.

Glad he’s finally arrived! Sounds like someone who won’t take this chance for granted.

This signing is more about squad depth I reckon. A one year deal and an option for one year makes sense given that this will be a big step up for him.

Availability is important in recruitment. I wouldn’t say this is a bad signing, but I understand why some have doubts.

He seems to be at the stage where this might be his last chance to make a real impact in the EFL. Being part of a strong setup and having the drive to test himself could help him reach his full potential.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up like Curtis Edwards before his return from injury.

I hope he does well. Has seemingly shown passion and determination to get back into the game following injury and time out of the game.

There has been some negative comments on Facebook about him coming from the national league north and how is this going to get us promoted, it is a concern that he has come from the national league north, but all we can do is support him and hope his desire to prove and improve shows and is rewarded.

Footballers come and go, and when a signing like this happens, it's natural not to know what to expect. Sometimes, though, these signings bring something different to the team. We can be quite predictable, and as long as he has the ball control expected at a professional level, he should do well. If he's not good enough, he won't get much game time, but I'm sure he'll be eager to impress.

Still got no clue

If he does well, we’ll be happily surprised. But if he struggles to keep up with our level, at least his contract isn’t as long as some of the signings we’ve made before.

Will Randall arrived with a fair bit of excitement, and that didn’t work out. Sometimes the ones who come in quietly and go under the radar turn out to be solid squad players.
