Exodus Geohaghon - one we missed out on
Posted: Mon Nov 30, 2009 7:31 pmApologies for a bit of ner-ner-ne-ner (there's probably a better term for it but it'll do).
Really pleased to see Exodus Geohaghon has joined Peterborough United and, by all accounts, had a solid debut in the Championship.
He played against us twice, firstly at Christie Park for Sutton Coldfield Town, I think in the FA Cup, and then away at Bromsgrove Rovers, again in the cup. Quality in both games.
He is probably one of half a dozen players I've seen at a lower level than us, i.e. in league position or a lower league over the last decade where not only have I gone 'wow - he'll go far' but also everyone I go to matches with - Shrimper, Freez, Downsy, Matty etc.
However, for me he's the only player I ever really stuck my neck out about when talking to Jim Harvey about and I know I wasn't the only one. I'd said about a couple of players but only in passing. However with Exodus it was after the second game with Bromsgrove and plenty of reports in between that I went up to him and said we really should sign him (rather than the 'what did you think of' after the Sutton Coldfield game). However he basically said he didn't rate him, although we did need a centre back.
Quality player who has also added a huge long throw to his armoury.
