I keep refreshing but i can`t see any updates

 

Ah got it now!

[richard sparkes]

welcome gabriel Fanibuyan i dont remember him to be honest but im sure he will became a good signing for us

[cantos]

Was he at Potters Bar last year

[ronin]

Had a quick look on Google and saw this snippet which indicates he`s highly thought of.

 

Strikers Gabriel Fanibuyan and Richie Howard, along with keeper Richard Hayward, have been offered new deals, but are mulling over their future.

 

Browne said: "I have an idea of how I want to play and Gabriel (Fanibuyan) is central to that.

 

"I've made him an offer and hope he stays. Other clubs have been in for him, but we've had positive talks.

 

Herts 24

[richard sparkes]

yes he was cantos do u remember him cos i dont to be honest

[cantos]

He scored quite a few for them at the back end of the season.

 

Paulas mate Football Man would be able to let you know about his abilities.

[ronin]

Don`t know for sure if he played in our game at Potters Bar but their 2 forwards that day caused us lots of problems, i think he may have scored a pen against us.

 

Just checked the Ryman site and he didn`t score against us

 

 

[ronin]

I can only find one picture of him which can be seen here

Previous clubs are QPR,Ilford,Harlow and Potters Bar, he scored against us for Harlow in a ESC game in 2003 against a strong Canvey side.

Delighted by this signing, hopefully he will make a real difference for us next season.

Welcome aboard Gabriel!

Another attacking option for Canvey, which is always good. Wonder if he'll be in contention for a Striker's position or will play a more wide role?

[smallsy]

he is very good player allegedly. good signing.

[ronin]

Where did you get your info from Smallsy? The snippets i`ve found on the web about him are all encouraging but real info on Fanibuyan is hard to find.

[cantos]

Football Man formerly Potters Bar Town could answer that question for you Ronin.

John Batch went to watch him play on numerous occasions last season. He really rates him as a quality signing, and is delighted that he agreed to come to Canvey. From what he says Fanibuyan has tremendous pace and stamina, and is comfortable playing anywhere in midfield or upfront. In fact, he scored 18 goals for Potters Bar last season despite playing the first 10 games at left back!

[cantos]

He is extremely fast.

[ronin]

Looking forward to seeing him play

I pm`d Football Man and this is what he had to say about Fanibuyan

"Quality player. Certainly of Conference National standard, if not Football League. Only down side is that he can sometimes be too quick for his own good (ball stuck under feet, etc.) but he has lightning pace, good dribbling skills and knows how to shoot. Very versatile too. Can play out wide, centre mid, up front or "in the hole". I couldn't really tell you which position is his best. A good asset to your side."
