Toto signs !!! - Page 2

One the best sights last season was seeing a Cheltenham player battling with Toto to reach ball. The Cheltenham lad was running at full tilt, legs and arms flayling. Toto was barely jogging and got to the ball with time to spare.
Would be shame to see Peter Murphy displaced from his CB position, which he grew into.

Peter didnt grow into CB, it was his original Natural (and best) position all along.

Im sure there will be room for both in next season's team.

[quote=smudgie;993349] it was his original Natural (and best) position all along.

With hindsight, Smudgie, I agree, but it took an awfully long time to figure it out.

Oh dear, smudgie and i will have to disagree again!!.
Peters a good player but i have said all along hes a holding midfield player.
He just lacks half a yard of pace at the moment to play CB in a team that holds an high line.
Does well defending deeper,and reads the game well.
If he comes back after summer flying,then i will take my hat off to him.
Again,this is just my opinion,only cookys counts really

Good news getting Toto permanently. As has been commented he had a few dodgy times in some of his earlier matches but he really improved and grew in confidence towards the end of season, when for me he was man of the match a couple of times. He clearly has the potential and physical attributes to become a formidable centre back. With a regular partner with more experience he could become the rock in our defence which we have missed since Kevin Long was lost to Accy Reserves over in Rochdale. A good signing so well done Cooky and Leam. The squad is starting to take shape.

Redraine.. Does Sean Mc have a "special post" somewhere? Better have a look for it!!

I see you found it. Couldn't care a toss where he ends up as long as it's not back with us.

Delighted by the news that Toto has signed. Wasn't expecting that. I'd like to see him partner Dean at centre half. Well 'ard.

With regards to Murphy, I enjoyed most seeing him play in midfield; holding, but with licence to go forward. I like him a lot as a player and I hope he keeps improving.
