Even Ploppies fans don't think he's better than Dubi and Moreman so it's begs the question will he accept being a bench warmer, or I suggest, prepared to do the odd stint as an over age player in their U21 set up which was the reason why he wanted away from our club?

May have to wait a little longer to differentiate between, considered good enough and actually playing at a higher level as to date I think those you refer to are.
Jake (Flamingo) Newman, 1 league goal in a season, sent out on loan to a team TWO leagues lower, after signing a contract in a blaze of glory.
Alfie Taylor, has just played 60 mins for them as a Trialist, though give him credit he got lots of goals for BPW in a lower league, & has caught Jake already. One of the originals & in the Clubs history.
Elliot Dent, bench warmed for a couple of months before also moving to a Club in a lower league, don`t know where he is now but sure you can inform me :o
Nat Tragic Lieburd, signed for them but being realistic has 2 chances of being a regular in their 1st team, Bob Hope & No hope.
With regards to the first 3, all great lads who I personally have a lot of time and respect for, I never was a fan of "the straight line runner" who is Nat.
It`s football times change and people move on, my only question would be, Is our current squad stronger than the one which included all of the above :?:

I agree there is a difference between playing and being considered good enough.
I was thinking of Alfie and Tom Cross, both good enough to play at a higher level.
Jake, never thought he was good enough for anything above UCL Prem.
Elliot, don't know what he's up to. Not sure why you think I would know.
Nat Liburd-shite, agree, never seen him have a decent 45 mins.
The current squad is stronger, but, I don't think we had a squad featuring all 4 at the same time.
Looking forward to a top end of the table campaign.
