what position does he play ? midfield I hope

Attacking midfielder, gospel according to wiki.

Pleased with that one. Experienced league 2 player can hopefully help us dig in and get some wins.

Is the the photo of Piero on the OWS taken with the players on the PMG Leisure pitches ?

No, looks like the L&M college with those houses on the hill (Hamilton Drive?). Looks familiar from the Morecambe woman's football pictures as they play there.

Totally agree, that’s good news. Welcome to MFC Piero.
The bad news.....just read on FB that Oliver is out for 8 wks with injury.

Oops already on here.

Wouldn't mind us taking Andy Mangan from Stanley due to Oliver's injury.

Not ideal but we need another option up front and it's getting late to do any business in the window.

Probably not possible but Cole Stockton now on loan at Wrexham would be ideal. I understand you can recall players on loan and then loan them out again to a preferred club.

Who's to say that Wrexham isn't the preferred club

I quite like this signing. Clever player who will create chances.

Always thought he was a decent player every time he played against us. Great name too.

Desperately need a striker now though.

I agree. Fantastic player, now lets use him to his potential. We have had a few players who have come from accy and never got the best out of them.

We have needed a decent wide player ever since we lost Barkhuizen.

I hope Jim doesn't keep him on the bench.

Really excited to see him play for us. He does what every football fan wants - he runs at the defenders, backs his ability, takes them on and then gets a shot/cross in. If we allow him to do that, he should do very well for us.

And there lies the problem. Too often our management team (and they are both guilty) don't let the player play their normal game asking them to play out of position.

Piero is what we just haven't had of late so we need to use him to his best ability and that would appear to be taking players on, beating them and getting crosses into the box for our striker to capitalise on, that's assuming that the striker is in the box....

Or even on the pitch !!
