Paul McCallum
Bit of a clamour about getting him back to after a cameo at Barnet. What intrigues me is why did Solihull go on loan to Barnet in January if he was doing well there. They, after all were a main rival.

Re: Paul McCallum
I would endorse this move. Great in the air and different to what we currently have.
Much better than Sotiriou.

Re: Paul McCallum
On many points, disagree on your comparison with Ruel. For just one thing Ruel is buzzing and constantly on the move and finding space for himself. Yes Paul is great in the air but really lacking in mobility.Tent Keague wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 12:00 pm I would endorse this move. Great in the air and different to what we currently have.

Re: Paul McCallum
If Paul liked living and playing in London and the south east, wonder why he went and joined Solihull ?

Re: Paul McCallum
Injury prone including a had a bad knee injury when playing for us. Cox and Paul both badly injured their knees within weeks of each other doing so.

Re: Paul McCallum
Thought we should have signed him before Solihull a year or so back.
He consistently finds the net and can hold the ball up, something than none of our strikers can do. His attitude and work ethic is questionable but i think he's been relatively fit recently so i'd be all for it.

A six figure signing on fee by all accounts .Sid Bishop wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 12:22 pmIf Paul liked living and playing in London and the south east, wonder why he went and joined Solihull ?
He was a free agent after Eastleigh.
They stumped up big money for him .
Him & Flowers were supposed to have kicked off a few times , something about the most expensive piece of
Equipment in the physios room .

Re: Paul McCallum
Always thought he was a bit of a poseur, but as said above he is really good in the air, and could take a darn good throw in too – trouble is we wanted him taking the throws and being on the end of them!

Re: Paul McCallum
He commits a lot of fouls
At non league level he gets away with it and consequently is effective
At league level he gets away with far less and this is frustrating when promising attacks breakdown because he has given away yet another free kick

Re: Paul McCallum
Please no. In order for him to be successful he needs wingers who can cross and a strike partner prepared to do his work for him. Then we end up with a mid-table finish and a reliance on one man.

Re: Paul McCallum
Another "No" here. Stands around like a lamp-post most of the time.
Injury prone, questionable attitude (toys out of pram at Solihull), and I'm sure we can do better..

Re: Paul McCallum
Paul McCallum turned in one of the great attacking centre-forward performances on his return to Brisbane Road with Eastleigh
For that alone he has my undying respect
Unlike Eboue Adams, McCallum came here to prove a point with his skills and not shithousery.
Whilst he may be too risky to re-sign I think he does have plenty to offer at the right club (provided he can avoid injury)

Outdone by the marvellous football of Sam Ling creating the winner .

Re: Paul McCallum
It's called big money Sid, Solihull had it and they paid it. Think some people will be surprised what signing on fees/wages are paid in divs 1,2 and non league.Sid Bishop wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 12:22 pmIf Paul liked living and playing in London and the south east, wonder why he went and joined Solihull ?
