No thanks as he’s not mobile enough and has had too many injuries to take a risk on he may well want a decent wedge of dough to come here.

According to Solihull fans.
If Paul liked living and playing in London and the south east, wonder why he went and joined Solihull ?
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.
A big wake up call awaits for many lower league players because of the havoc caused by the Covid 19 virus.

Would be an asset for us, but no chance of him coming. He is too much of his own mam and therefore too threatening for Ling’s status quo.

Too much of his own man to do any work for his teammates?

Come on mate, you can do better than that ! Stop keep going on about Ling and look at the player concerned, glass legs and going by the last 5 seasons, spends too much time injured, got a leap in him but no mobility.

Can only assume you've not been keeping up to date with who was released? Understandable considering what's been going on with the virus.

With Alabi and Harrold leaving we are down to three strikers, two should Ruel leave which seems to be more likely.

A decent enough player when fit but I agree he's to injury prone.

we are supposed to have a scouting network all over the country that hopefully are checking out young , new eager talent
We have enough coaches to fill a car park
must move forward and not keep looking at these type of players who are just doing the circuit
I think Danny Senda could have a big part to play with his contacts knowledge and experience

Good signing for them. If he didn't have a dodgy knee he could do a job in th EFL but not as mobile now as when we first signed him, but given the right service we all know he will score goals.

Yes hopefully Paul will score some goals for the ''Daggers'', subject to ( judging by past records ) time spent in the sports injuries treatment room. Paul is one of those unlucky players who picks up a lot of injuries and the bad knee injury he received when playing for us was yet just another in a long line of injury setbacks. Since that injury, he has never quite regained the mobility he had prior to that injury. Anyway best of luck to him at his new club.
