2 Experianced CB's on trial tonight

[Hagrid]

I'd have both of them at Vale.

Steady/safe players as usual. Would McDons have let Doumbe go if he still had it at this level? I suppose we'll find out tonight!

 

highly rated there though i think

[CambridgeDon]

Probably as good as we'll get at this stage in pre-season.

Either that or a loan player.

Heard of them.not a clue if any good.reports on.them would be grear from.the super vale away support

[nodge]

My mates a Barnsley fan. To quote...

"He captained us into the championship, prone to error but also prone to score from corners."

Sounds good. Hard to find defenders at our level that don't make errors.

Surely not another pair of coffin dodgers, if we are going to sign another centre back, we need someone with pace, if we want someone with snail pace, we should have kept Purse, and Boom Boom.

Reports by mk fans seem gutted doumbe has left,rated highly.7 motm awards seems promising.

[vale in the blood]

All this about paceblah blah,is aload of rubbish,ive never seen one!!!

Quality center backs are strong and can read the game very well,right place at right time.

our best center backs over the yrs,sproson,glover,aspin,wernt blessed with this pace people r obsessed with,but blessed with a understandin of there position,strong,and decent in the air.

[cheeky]

They seem an improvement on what we had, as have all the signings so far. Can we ask or anymore than that really.

[Jinkin John Jeffers]

Just rang my boss who goes to about half the home games for mk dons. He says doumbe will be a great addition for us. Hope it works out

That's if any centre back below Premiership level has much pace to begin with!! They are both experienced at League 1 level which is what we need.

Spot on. The fixation with some about pace is bordering on an obsession.
