Afternoon all, been advised by someone close to aldershot town that we are looking at this guy, know nothing about him but apparently a promising young talent. Sounds like the type of player we are looking to sign i guess.

Why are you comparing the two of them just because they play or played for the same club? Bit strange. Surely the player should he judged on his individual merits and not on what a different player did or didn't do? According to the website transfermarkt the lad is out of contract, although because of his age I would presume Aldershot would be due some minimal compensation. Looks a good player to me and had a good season. Highly-rated at that level.

Sometimes signings don’t work out, not down to the club signed from though, wouldnt say no to one of Peterborough’s current strikers despite our last signing from them.

No-one's good enough and if they haven't played for us before, we don't want them anyway!

Posh are a L1 side, unlike Aldershot, personally I wouldn't risk my money gambling on another Aldershot player when Mensah probably cost the club a small fortune. At least we know Eastleigh players can make the step over.

Saying Eastleigh players can make the step up just because Josh Hare did but Aldershot players can’t because Bernard Mensah didn’t is just nonsense. If a players good enough, they’ll make it, doesn’t matter what club they’ve come from.

We took gambles on Barry Hayes and Steve Foster to name a few, that worked out OK for us..... Every Player you sign is gonna be Hit or Miss etcetera etcetera!

Let's see if he signs then, personally I wouldn't gamble my own money on another Aldershot player so soon after BM costs us £100K's. It's probably all @efl_hub rumour nonsense anyway after they noticed that the Bristol Post listed him as one of 5 non league players we might look to sign, even though there's no real signs BG intends signing non league players given his Premiership/Championship background. www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/five-non-league-talents-bristol-4119418

Garner also had got a non-league background as such having played and coached at Sutton United (and briefly played at Wimbledon during non-league days). Not forgetting the head of recruitment has been a player and a manager at non-league level too.

Did Mensah cost us £100's of thousands? I seem to remember a fee of perhaps 80,000.

If he was on a minimum of £75K p.a his contract was probably the worse for games/£'s of any of DC's signings, possibly the worst ever.

He looks like he needs a good meal, better get BJ to take him under his wing and feed him up a bit.

But I guess on here it’s all guesswork as to what they cost and usually it’s undisclosed from the club. And let’s face it if the signing is good we all make it a much cheaper fee and think it’s a real bargain. If the signing is crap then by the end his price has exploded into a huge fee just so we can have a good moan. It’s just the way it is. 😉 UTG!
