Tostao Kwashi

[David Holden]

BTW, The player profiles page has been suitably updated if you know what I mean!

[David Holden]

It seems that the errant one is now back in the UK and very contrite. He thought he was going for a trial.

 

As things stand he cannot play in England now until next season, but my sources tell me he is going to write to the FA and tell them it was all a mistake.

[Stu M]

So what's happened exactly, Dave? Have St Pat's signed him, played him or anything like that?

 

Or is he currently in the process of removing egg from his face?

[David Holden]

Ah that's where things become a tad confused.

 

or to put it another way....

 

 

Buggered if I know!!!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cool_shades.gif" alt="" />

[Bate'o]

So there could be a possibility of him coming back?

Well, according to RK this morning, if he doesnt get his international clearance to play for St Patricks, he will probably be left without a club this season, as you can only apply for international clearance once per season, and he couldnt therefore return to us, as he would need to apply again !!

If this is true then we won't see him back.

[Fleet_Fella]

You have to wonder what sort of advice his agent gave him, to jump ship at Fleet just for a trial at an Irish club. The fact that he is now back in England without a club to play for serves him right for doing a disappearing act in the first place.

 

You can guarantee that come June he will be parading himself around all the div 3 and Conf clubs again, but after what he has done on this occasion, will anyone take a gamble on him? Unfortunately, there will always be a club or two that would.

 

The interesting point about this development in proceedings now is; If the FA accept his reasons and grant him permission to play in England again this season, would he (a) attempt to return to the Fleet, and ( would Andy want him after what has gone on? Personally, I believe the answer to be no on both counts.

I agree. I think that we could do with Tostao back for his ability and added dimension to the fleet line-up but, fitting in with the excellent team spirit was not his game when he left and I feel sure he would not be welcome for this. I don’t know, pure ideas. Up the fleet and a win against F'Boro should get us back on track with all these injuries.

[Bate'o]

I know we are only talking hyperthetically, but if he did attempt to return to the Fleet, then I think he should be given a chance, should we not forgive him this mistake, Im sure we would once he started setting up goals and skinning people on the right wing. Football fans have very short memories.

[Richard C]

bateo I think your description to the right below your name is very correct. 5'7" and full of it!! Hahahaha your only sticking up for Tostao because of your own right wing endeavours (not quite the same class of course) hahaha

 

only joking mate... im bored...

[Bate'o]

<img src="/forums/images/icons/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/argue.gif" alt="" /> I must have grown 3" since last time you see me (i am 5'4") But it has bugger all to do with my own right wing endeavours. He is a class act and I feel that the decision to leave was mainly down to an agent. Should we not forgive?

Bring on the Farnborough, thats what I say and let Andy do the business. If you read his managers post he says he may have a replacement (its not you is it!!!???). Yeh i have forgiven already, i never said he was wrong really. Just unlucky with contracts etc.

[Bate'o]

Please Richard, a bit of secrecy wouldnt go amiss, Andy was going to unveal me before Saturdays game and now you have completly ruined it <img src="/forums/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Andy Y. (G&NFC)]

Well things REALLY have become a little confused!

 

Speaking personally, I would be very pleased to see him return. On the few occasions that I spoke to him, I found him to be a very polite, pleasant and (believe it or not) honest sort of guy. Remember, it is quite likely he has been given some bad advice. If thats the case then he can hardly be blamed for his actions, including the manner in which he left.

 

It would be a real shame if his career has gone up in smoke, albeit just for a season.

 

Lets give the guy a chance.

[alfie roberts]

i think personally given the chance we should give him another chance, can you honestly say if you played for a footballt team on a weekly wage and a better team(im not sure about that either...) came along and offered you a contract you would turn it down?

Also who is him agent?is it mr.fash?

 

[Guest]

Im a pats fan i was started to get excited reading through this tread hearing about how great he is and thinking of him linking up with our ugandan international mbabazi charles liningstone only to find out the deal is off does anyone know for sure if the deals off or on and why?

[David Holden]

I don't know the whys and wherefores, but he is definitely back in the UK and definitely contacting the FA about his international clearance.

 

From what I have been able to glean, the whole affair has been completly mismanaged and neither Tostao nor St Patrick's come out of this looking good.

[alfie roberts]

According to the great man today he says he will be playing next week! Glad thats sorted...

[alfie roberts]

except we dont have a match next week.....so next match then......tuesday?

[I.C.@G&NFC]

According to my information, he called Andy mid-week and asked if he could train with us. He was told flatly, NO!
