Ogogo follows Rodgers out of exit door by signing for Dagenham & Redbridge
Right-back Abu Ogogo has joined Dagenham & Redbridge following his release by Arsenal.
Ogogo, who had a spell on loan at Barnet last season, was not offered improved terms by the Gunners following the expiry of his contract and this subsequently alerted various clubs to his availability.
Dagenham & Redbridge stepped in and Abu joined up with his new team-mates for pre-season training this morning. Ogogo was an un-used substitute in the Carling Cup victory over Sheffield United at Emirates Stadium in September 2008.
This news comes just hours after it was revealed that fellow defender Paul Rodgers has joined Northampton on trial following the expiry of his contract.
Amaury Bischoff, Rene Steer and James Dunne are all expected to be released when their contracts expire at midnight tomorrow.
Good luck to abu, i think he will be a really good player in time, and you say it alerted various clubs do you know which other clubs where interested in him.
bischoff’s contract is already finished, wow we only signed him last year, if he goes that was probably the worst signing wenger has made
Bischoff, from what i’ve heard is not really a player that many fans would relate to as a team player; and it rumoured that he might have just signed for us to help him through his injury, and after that he would move on to a club in portugal. My personal perception of this fella is one that, he lack passion and that has been illustrated by him not rele pushing 4 a first team place when his stats show that his a gd enough player to be on the first team. I agree, he’s a rele bad signing.
