If a young Aussie impresses this winter and gets snapped up for the u24 Ekstraliga then no reason why Poole could change their team for the start of the season and sign him. Polish u24 Ekstraliga doesn't start until mid April so would be able to start on a 4 before riding in Poland. Neither Nielsen and certainly not Roynon is a forward move. Adam had his chance but was starting to struggle in that last 4/6 weeks prior to injury also on poor equipment. Also why would Poole change the Dane so early before at least trying to prove he can achieve at least a 4 point av. As for the Aussie's. Most of the decent one's have already signed in POL U24 with odd exception who may not even want to do UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'Thomsen was one of the top scorers in this season's Danish 2nd Division' is the quote from Danny Ford in the press article. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tosh1218 592 Posted December 22, 2023 I’m sure averages are calculated on League matches only so Poole might have a long wait for the new boy to get a proper average Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinny 2,536 Posted December 22, 2023 If Thomsen was signed on a 7 or 9 i would agree however he is on a 4, hardly the end of the world is it? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now Rew has a 4.00 Prem ave, he'd have a 6.00 converted ave for the Champ. Edited December 22, 2023 by szkocjasid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Watching Championship clubs celebrate titles at Poole last year was painful enough for you guys, Now Poole fans are trying to convince themselves that a pish poor signing in Thomsen is a good move.

So? I don't see the problem. Why do you want everyone to be negative about it? Most Poole fans wouldn't have seen him ride as was in different league in 2019. So let them form an opinion in March.
