Adam Chicksen signs [merged threads]

[Oscar]

I heard he was represented by Glenn Cockerill.

Yes and also recommended by Robbie Fowl-er.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Seen him play a fair few times. Very attack minded, but not much in the way of presence. Not sure if he is good enough to step up, we shall see.

 

[perseus]

He is not very tall for a full back. The only bonus I can see is Lewington was actually quite a good full back to keep him out the MK Dons team. I hope the Latvian is good enough.

On the face of it, we have not had a 5 ft 8 " full back ever. Too small. Have we been mugged?

Even Gary Hart was taller. Can he score goals?

Yep you just cant have small full backs, being tall is a fundamental requirement for that position. What about that Roberto Carlos fella? I mean he was 5ft 6 and completely toilet wasnt he?

 

[armchairclubber]

Even though there was no leek on this i'm pretty happy as looks like he is of good stock

He's complemented our ethos and style. It was never anything to do about money. I love him dearly already.

Chicksen is Milton Keynes born and bred and he can see similarities between the clubs off the field as well as on it.

“At MK Dons the club and the fanbase really grew once we got the new stadium and since Brighton moved to the Amex, a similar thing has happened here but on a much bigger scale."

Not really keen with us being compared to MK Mongs.

NAIVE but well-meaning at least.
Sure he'll find out soon enough how we feel about Franchise FC

Went from crowds of 5000 in L2 at the hockey stadium to 8000 in their new stadium in the division above. Meteoric, and all in the space of five seasons as well. Its not even slightly comparable Mr Chicksen.

The best left back in the WORLD is 5ft 7.

We had Stewart Henderson who was 5ft 6in...

Played over 200 games for us.

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

... And his name is?

Phillipe Lahm?

 

[theonesmith]

Phillipe Lahm?

He's a right back I'm afraid... Does occasionally switch to the left though...

Jordi Alba is 5ft 7 however, and he plays for Barca (although I'm not sure he's the best in the world, he's certainly up there)

Full backs don't really need aeriel presence, although it can be a bonus

Jorge Campos, different position I know but national Mexican goalkeeper for 13 years, 5ft 8 and 1/2 inches.
he did quite well.

Jordi alba.
