does this mean we might have seen the end of Jordan and Direnanga
It’s already been suggested on this thread & elsewhere. Jordan IMO will almost certainly be off in the summer. Dinanga given he’s about 5 years younger I’m not entirely sure but if he gets anywhere near replicating his FCUM form no doubt Linney will soon be the main man up top for us.
No-one was more delighted than me when Jordan returned to Alty. Some others took a more cautious view and it pains me to admit that they have since been proved to be right. However, no-one will dispute what a pleasure it has been to watch him during our recent times in the NPL and Conference North. He has earned his place in Alty folklore and I will say no more except to record the fact that before he first signed for Alty he was well known to us and virtually everyone else in Non-League football as a prolific goalscorer and a real personality.
Had anyone even heard of Dinanga before he came to Alty? I am trying to think of a way to record my observations of him without being too rude. Unfortunately, it has to be said that he is hopeless beyond any sense of reason and should not have been allowed anywhere near the team. I don't remember him scoring any noteworthy goals and the very few that he did manage to put away were mainly tap-ins. He missed a multitude of easy chances and he has even managed to interfere and prevent other goal-bound chances from counting.
I only remember one forward who played for Alty who was worse than Dinanga and that was Dave Furnivall who was signed by Les Rigby in the 1970's and whom my Dad and his mates coined the nickname "Rising Damp"
I am sorry to be so harsh but it was well beyond time for Marcus to move on.
