    Reading the Sibbick thread there is a mention of Cole Kpekawa, I looked him up to see where he is now, but also turned up some interesting facts.
    Firstly he's only played 45 games in 6 years as a pro (7 for us), for 8 different clubs
    Secondly we apparently paid QPR £450,000 for him!
    He ended up at Billericay Town, and then left for a Slovakian team, AS Tencin.
    On his debut, 9 minutes in, he broke the leg of an 18 year old opponent, causing a double fracture.
    For this he has been suspended for 6 months, from September 2019.

    QPR must have cried laughing when they cashed that cheque!

    Must have been some tackle to get a 6 month suspension!

    Signing any player is a gamble. He might be excellent when playing for one club but for
    whatever reason not be as effective at another. For us, Chris Wood readily springs to mind
    although I'm sure, that there must have been countless others.

    I’d be surprised if we used a cheque to pay the transfer fee.
