Good write up from his old manager:

we do need more pace and he's apparently quite quick. Gabby wasn't pulling up any trees at 21 and had a couple of less than impressive spells on loan in the lower leagues. He came along quite well with the right guidance. It's a low risk signing.

When he was 21 Gabby was a first team regular and had scored 20 odd league goals for us.

I'm not saying he's Gabby. but he's a young kid that even if he shows up at 22 or 23 with the right coaching could be an asset. Most of this will be down to the player as to how he progresses.

It is in terms of the signing, but it's a high risk strategy for our season as a whole, relying on kids from the lower leagues.  Our squad just isn't good enough, and promising as these players may be, they just aren't what we need right now.

Welcome Jordan and good luck!  Hope you'll prove to be the bargain of the century!

Comment in the Guardian:

Bowery's a great signing by Villa and Lambert. He's by far the best player to come out of Chesterfield since Kevin Davies. The transfer may raise eyebrows outside of the S40 and S41 postcode areas, but not within them: if he fulfils his potential he could be a full international.

I agree with Bowery and have no problem with us signing him.  But I was pointing out that Gabby was pulling up trees at 21.

There's yer problem. Gabby did too much manual forestry work in the past and that's why he keeps getting injured.

Sadly a lot pace players seem to pick up a lot of injuries after a few years.

Is this the final nail in Delfouneso's coffin?

Cue the article on avfc.co.uk / Evening Mail by Delfouneso saying how he is glad there is a challenge for places, when really he isn't.

Amazing news, I hope he gets the chance to play for us while we're still in the Prem.
