Costa of the lower leagues? If he's any good he could be worth Starbucks! :clap:

Laughable
Try reading it in context next time before wading in, you utter clown.

You've managed to make two statements on your own there, neither of which I've said.

Just to break it down for you, to make it absolutely clear - I was stating that Chamberlain actually looked passable as a Conference standard player in the 10 or so minutes I saw of him at Braintree, which isn't bad for someone who came from Watcombe or wherever it was. It just so happened that Williams had a bit of stinker that day.

Clearly you didn't see me try to squeeze in the 'large' Torquay shirt from the 2003/2004 promotion season, just last week.

That was pretty awkward.

If you put good local players alongside better players they have more chance of showing you what they can do. Chamberlain had the chance and could not produce. Keating had the same chance and produced. :keepie:

A player who's played and scored in the Irish Premiership came to us from quite a different level to someone from who's come from the parks and playing fields of the Bay though. I think Chamberlain deserved a bit of credit for being better than expected.

But Keating is a good example of taking a look at a player from left-field and it paying off
