Deji signing for Nigel at Mansfield according to X. One of the hottest free agents available on the market. Given my expert player judgement I'll give any true Mansfield fans/and some bandwagon jumpers a little rundown. Pace, power, precision, and positional play frankly second to none. A cool head who never misses a tackle. Forget your Strides, your Redferns & your of course, Quinns, Deji will be the one most remembered in 30 years. Sign him up boys 😘😉

Nesta Guinness-Walker linked with us, only a rumour on Twitter/X, but you never know, I suppose they might eventually get one right!

Just did some digging on one of Tomas' agents, Harry Hayden
Seems like he has been involved a bit with the NFG takeover and also with Mark Robinson joining too.
I also found a tweet from April 2022 and it looks like they are close with Jason Sraha, who we were linked with a few days ago

Could have been a journo putting 2 and 2 together hearing that one of their players had signed with Burton and assumed it was Sraha. Or quite possibly Sraha has come as well. If he has then expect the announcement tomorrow.

😂 you’ve seen the post from our friend Broomo talking about you then Andrew Clearly Fred still living rent free in Broomo's head even a few years down the line! Apparently some of us wouldn't know a good player or manager if one hit us in the face! Will let them make their own mind up about Deji if he signs!

Not sure where he’s going with the Deji interest (if true) other than what can surely only be that he’s utilised as a back up squad player with league one experience. I can’t see him starting many games. I may be wrong of course but even then there’s surely far better options out there than Deji. I’m just glad he’s not our problem anymore.

Seeing as Fred joined the Mansfield forum just to have a pop at Nigel as not being good enough as a manager (again) I think my dislike for him and my questioning his knowledge is fair enough. I said SOME of you, not all, some really knowledgable posters who I'd still class as friends on here. He isn't one of them. Looking forward to seeing what Deji brings to the table.

Other than experience I can’t see him bringing much. That’s not sour grapes that the reality of his performance. Real head scratcher this one but it’s not the first and won’t be the last.

I am still not sure how much I trust that EFL Hub twitter account, which is the one that has posted the rumours. Tends to get a lot wrong so it wouldnt surprise me if it is well wide of the mark. Having said that, Deji did relocate from London, with his young family, so guessing he might not want to move too far regards his next club. The reality is that Deji is, essentially, a versatile defender who can play anywhere across the back line and can also operate effectively as a defensive midfielder. Where I think most of us have an issue is that from the end of JFH's time with us he tried playing Deji as an attacking midfielder, which worked initially as he got forward and got a few goals, but on a long term basis, under Dino, it didnt really work out but 'we' still kept playing him in an advanced role that didnt really suit him. Play him in a more defensive role and you have an experienced and solid enough League One player.

I trust Nigel has a role in mind for him, even if it's back up to Cargill at centre half or Reed as a DM. I seem to remember a few saying Quinny was washed up and one or two questioning whether Lucas still had the legs, Mansfield have done ok with ex Brewers so far and I see Blake-Tracey and Deji as being another 2 who will contribute as the season progresses.

Fair enough. I think the problem is we have signed a number of 'decent' players over the last two or three seasons under JFH/Dino etc and for whatever reason it hasnt worked. FBT is clearly a capable defender but didnt show it for us so whether that is down to him or the coaching/tactics, who knows but Swindon fans loved him so he cant be as bad as some fans would make out. Similarly with Deji. We all (well, most of us) know that Nigel is, on the whole, a decent judge of a player and will have a plan for them both. Going to be interesting to see how they get on.

Guess Mansfield think he's versatile and experienced in L1. Probably fairly cheap as well. Will probably do alright under Nigel as you'd think he'll play him in a vaguely sensible position and certainly won't let him get away with the lack of effort and interest he did seem to show at times last season.

I have always liked and respected Deji, Craig. He lost his way last season but many did, especially after January and having no one that could score us a goal. Nigel needs to give Deji his mojo back and if he can he has a versatile, experienced, ‘play anywhere’ player - with the adaptability that Nigel loves. He will be a good addition for you and will play most games I’d wager.
