"Player News – Isaac Vassell
26 Feb 2024
Jerry has today secured the signing of Isaac Vassell. This is a player familiar with the NLS, having started out at Truro playing alongside Cody Cooke before his move to Luton Town. He has Championship and EFL experience and most importantly is a really good character that will fit into the group perfectly. Isaac is currently with Bristol Rovers, training daily for what has been the last eight weeks. We would like to thank Matt Taylor, Jamie McAllister and Bristol Rovers for their support with this signing.
We welcome Isaac to Twerton Park."

What was he doing training at Rovers just helping him to get fit, or were we considering signing him given his football league background?

Sounds like a player going out on loan to a part time club and as we are a pro club that trains daily in the area we have taken him in to assist.
Good idea, gives us a chance to look over him too. Won't cost us anything really.

Can remember him on loan at Bideford about 10-12 years ago on loan from Argyle where he started his career.
Had lots of injuries over the following years at various clubs, very fragile hamstrings.
We could well have been interested as he can only be about thirty now.

The 30-year-old has been a free agent for more than 20 months after being released by Cardiff City in the summer of 2022 and has not played a competitive game of senior level football since August 2019.

Joey about to offer him a 3.5 year deal! Jennings special, doing an agent a favour, he did a lot of this and I’ve been told this as well for a couple of proper sources. When Barton said he was paying his wage, he had more than 10 people paying his wage! |

We need to be looking at strikers that guarantee 10 goals a season minimum. As usual this is confused with 10 games.
GF needs to veto this sort of transfer

Erm...wasn't MT bemoaning too many older players with dodgy injury records being at the club. That had to change...roll on a few days and its we are intersested in a 31 year old who hasnt pkayed in 4 years.
No wonder there is no consistency in results...theres no consistency anywhere it seems !

We haven’t signed him.
Why the moaning?
Sensible to keep an eye on someone with known talent in case they recover - strikers are rare.
(Just look at Billy Bodin, DC took a chance on him with something like a two week deal, then a ten week deal and then till end of season was it? Signed up for a better deal all round before season elapsed. Win win with a much younger player - who went on to suffer loads more injuries after we sold him!)
Exceptions prove rules

What a strange potential signing. So many good young non-league gems out there...so we decide to 'trial' a soon to be 31-year-old who has barely played in 4 years due to injury problems!? It's not like he is even that good anyway. Very strange.

Exceptions prove rules Even the most positive tinter must surely question why we're looking at a player who's hardly played for 4 years, when the likes of Hunt show how hard it is to stay injury free. |
