Latest link is Salfords winger Kelly N'Mai

I know its only a rumour but strange if true as we dont need another winger - unless Ashford being lined up by Sheffield United is true

The twitter account where I saw this posted is pretty accurate most of the time, I don't know anything about this guy but had a quick stat check and he has 7 goals 3 assists in 20 matches this season

Saw them play at Swindon last week and he was decent!

Seems like it could have legs.

Never heard of him before, seems like a BBM player too.

I've seen him play he's tricky and fast but small I thought, although I'm sure he had there player of the year last season :bluescarf:

Surprised if this lad is better than the current wide players we already have!
I think we need to look at one or two other areas to strengthen.

This guy has something we lack and that's blistering pace, apparently he's the second fastest player in British football and is a proper beat the full back and get a cross in type player him and tanner on the wings would terrorise full backs at this level would be a smart signing only 21 as well so has future re sale potential

More pace on the wings the better

He does seem like a BBM type player.

Me too, if BBM rates him, that's more than enough for me, he knows a young player, and if anyone can improve him, BBM can.

I think we only have one winger, Tanner.

I think to break the low block & pack the middle, we need old-school pace and directness. Davies should have that, but he is woefully out of form and a striker.
Ashford gets away with it by having boys pace, but always wants to cut inside to the opposition bodies; he'll end up a central attacking midfielder (IMO). Willock is the same but with less pace.

We need speed!

He's never got anything right about us.

BBM today:

"We won't be signing him."
