How can we be much weaker? That makes no sense. We’ve cleared out the space taken up by loanees and fringe players, which was needed in order to furnish the squad with players who can / have cut the mustard in league 1 to take the pressure off players who may or may not be able to.

Swapping Cass for Gibbo is comparable talent wise, even if the covered positions are debatable, so that can’t be considered a downgrade. In fact I’d rather have Cass.

You can’t rip bits you don’t like out of your house and then say the renovation looks terrible before the new decor has been installed.

Just looking at the transfer announcements on the BBC from last year and by the 24th June we already had Covolan, Jones, Martin, Wilson, Garrity and Walker signed up (Stone, Pett and Benning joined in the last few days of June), so it was a lot more active..

We didn't have a play off to take part in last year, plus we had to recruit over half of the squad. We could recruit no-one this year and still do relatively well, although obviously I'd like to see 3 or 4 quality new faces in.

Agreed, was just stating what happened rather than an opinion on what we are or not are doing this year. Like everyone, just excited in anticipation of who we will sign. It's like bluddy Christmas, feeling around the present trying to figure out what's inside.

Lack of new signings is the least of our worries, what will these players be playing in?  Currently the keeper will be naked and the outfield players bare from the waist down in home games.  On top of this it now seems our owner is on a drug fuelled weekend binge at the Henge with all those hippie dropouts.  The big fear being that her mind could be dangerously expanded and in a moment of addled oneupmanship she could view next season as a chance to prove to Dale Vince that naturism > veganism.  Which it is.

In other news, apparently the guy below, walking bollock naked through Hanley the other day, was our as yet unannounced new keeper doing the GK kit reveal.  He was wearing Paddy Shanahan’s hair, which was to be whipped off revealing his true identity.  But he got arrested.

Where's the coin? Are we proper skint? Overstretched ourselves? Training ground? New sound system for the robbie concert? Not sure why we did that. Didn't get much out of it. Starting to worry.

Think he bought his own speakers mate or used some Argos Bluetooth ones

By roughly this point last summer we'd "only" signed relatively unknown Ben Garrity. By July 1st, when contracts expired,  we had ten new faces 😉

Wow!!! 

That's going some.

One or two people saying we are going for Rory Holden from Smallsall. Injured for all of last season but played under DC, so he must highly rate the lad. 

He would be a cheap option with huge potential upside.

Started off as being seen as a bit lightweight for them, then found form in an attacking mid role.

When DC left them for us, Holden was the player they were terrified he would come back for.

He then had a nasty knee injury that ruled him out of the season last year and find himself without a club.

No doubt it would be an offer similar to the one Gibbo rejected on a smaller scale.

If he is over his injury there is potentially a very good player there.

If not, it won’t cost us much.

I have said all along that I didn't get the obsession with Telford signing,so many were convinced going off what one person said about seeing him at Wembley. We never been interested in him at all,at least now we know it will be 2 or 3 different strikers coming in 
I did wonder where that wembley thing came from. Every man and his dog got a picture of Ramsdale, not one picture of Telford.

I'm pretty glad he hasn't come to us. One good season in a system that fits him perfectly and suddenly he wants big money. Had bad news written all over it.

Do we know if we were actually even interested in him? With Telford he wouldn’t even be guaranteed to start for us. He’s certainly nowhere near Wilson’s league as a player and quite frankly if Proctor is fit he starts also.


If we do have championship ambitions, then we ought not to be shopping for the likes of unproven in L1 Telford. We’ll land the players we need to more than survive next season.

Looking forward to the 1st July…
