Jared signed him mate. Come on you don't actually believe Neil had a clue who he was do you? Ok Neil had no influence on the signing whatsoever. Pretty sure its a team effort on signing players. But Let the Neil bashing roll on. You don’t think he deserves it? Being slated? |

Clearly, he's not doing well. Slating the manager never helps and given it's not October yet, personally I'm holding back my frustration until the end of October. |

Vidders has been brilliant, the guy really cares and wants to do well.
Shame he’s being let down by others.
Night and day with him and Laurent.

Poor lad must wonder wtf he’s walked into A bigger bank ballance I would have thought and a better chance of getting noticed. Yes agreed. He’s not exactly had a stellar career so far. I think he’ll be over the moon about the way it’s gone for him personally so far. Massively exceeded our expectations (and I suspect his own expectations). |

If he manages to bang in another 7-10 goals between now and January in this poor side then i think he will be picked up by someone.. enjoy him while we can.

But Let the Neil bashing roll on. Read every single post I've ever made mate and not once have I slated Alex Neil. I am one of the ones who really hopes he turns it around. The post I made wasn't slating him in any way, shape or form. It is clear that Vidigal was a Jared signing as hadn't he tracked him for a long time? I'm sure he mentioned that in the signing video. He's just not the type of player that Neil would go for. Obviously he would have had a say but I'm pretty sure it would have been down to Jared this one. Perhaps think about what you're saying before pissing your pants mate as I havn't bashed the manager at all. |

I thought that it was on the record that JD had been following Vidigal back when he was scouting for Sheffield United? Obviously AN will have had the final say, but I would suggest that JD was the one that picked Vidigal out of obscurity. However, if that is the case, then JD should be questioned for some of the other members of our foreign legion that have been far less impressive. All correct mate and that was what I was getting at. He was more a Jared signing than an Alex Neil one and for some reason Wakefield took that as I was attacking the manager. |

Clearly he would have been involved and potentially has the final say on who comes in. For all I know AN might have knocked back some great players in the past but by the same notion he did agree to this signing therefore he will have ‘had a clue’ who he was. Too easy to be dismissive and not give a bit of credit when he’s struggling |

Too easy to be dismissive and not give a bit of credit when he’s struggling It wasn't a dig at Neil, if I wanted to do that I would have mentioned the absolute shit performance against Hull on one of the many other threads mate. I was just pointing out that it clearly was a signing that Jared would have pushed for and if he wasn't at the club it wouldn't have happened. Yes Neil would have given it the ok after he was scouted out for him but it wouldn't have happened without Jared as he had been watching him and known about him for a long time from what he had said in interviews. |

But Let the Neil bashing roll on. Saying "yes ok then" doesn't exactly make you responsible does it? I personally think Niels options were likely limited, much like many managers previous, so you can't exactly say no to all options or we would have no players! They are meant to be experts so the recruitment team is responsible for our success, perhaps as much as the manager regarding our future as a club. But yeah Niel is shitting it just like all the others. Think the job might be too big once again and there's no system behind him. |

Many aren't even playing 🤦♂️🤷♂️ or he plays them out of position TP style in what can only be conceived as idiocy or protest? (We suggested TP was vindictive enough to do that on multiple occasions). |

I think he probably has a short list like all the others and has to choose from that list. And if in honest I'm incredibly underwhelmed with both the performances and the signings. Niel doesn't seem to know the formation or direction either which suggests the functioning of the new del boy and Rodney and management are out of sync, and like others have said they are already looking like they are starting to turn or push blame towards one another. Hardly cohesive, not that it ever has been, but I'm not really pleased with the experts we assigned, compared to more recently wolves, Brighton, Villa for example. Our supposed experts and their already atrocious record says enough about our "ambition". |

I have got to be honest, when we signed him,I had never heard of him .
I was a little encouraged by a few Portuguese social media posts , saying basically, maritimo are rubbish, but he was the best of a bad bunch and suggesting he might do better in a better team.
I always think it says a lot , if someone can shine in a poor side .
I just didn't twig , he was coming here , to repeat the trick and shine in a poor team again!

Vidigal definitely was a Dublin signing. More so than most, perhaps.
I imagine that the process goes something like this:
AN: I need a player that can do this.
JD: Here’s three to pick from, this one is my favourite.
AN: let’s go with that, then.

Didn't Dublin say that Vidigal was a player he'd been monitoring for a couple of years, or similar? Before either he or Neil came to us.

Definitely one he had tracked at his other clubs. Hopefully some of the other new signings step up in the way that Vidigal has for us. |

If the Andre keeps it up and we get an offer in January that we can't refuse, at least we can profit. It's a better model than what we've been doing previously, loading up the squad with players difficult to get rid of. I hope he continues to "kill it," we keep him healthy and see what he can do for a whole season |

He’s clearly ambitious and represented Portugal at various age levels so there’s a chance he won’t want to nail his colours to Angola at this stage of his career.

He got the job done, so no complaints, but how bad was the penalty from Vidi?  We really are shit at scoring goals.  |
