I would have loved for Gibbo to stay but the club has to be realistic. I don’t know what sort of money he was on for his last contract but I wouldn’t mind guessing his actual cost per game to the club was on a par with some of the higher paid players. And don’t forget, when we went on that amazing 8 wins 9 games run after Colchester he didn’t play in any of them. He was a very good player but the team managed well without him during that period.

So let’s put this fiction about “binning him off” to bed once and for all. We made him an offer, he didn’t like it and walked. His decision, not the club’s.

Well so far on here it's been Fletcher and Cadden mentioned.. not sure on the first one but i have to be honest and say i would walk through fire to get the latter,a cracking wing back imo but one who was said to be targeted by a lot of clubs higher up last season,so not sure if that one has any legs in it,would love to be wrong on that one though

I wouldn't be totally against fletcher, but he's pretty old. Doesn't seem very processey. Cadden would be incredible but Sheff Weds also linked so I imagine they'd blow us out the water wages wise?

Sheff Wed have been making some big signings including Rotherhams 2 best players i think but its great to be up against these teams this season isn't it

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.

Robbie brought his own sound system so im not sure why you said that. Were not skint but we havent got a dodgy bitcoin investor splashing money he may or may not have. I can tell you which owner i would rather have.

On the verge of signing Mallik Wilks from Hull too, who got 19 goals in L1 last time around.

Definitely going to be top 2 I'd say.

The idea that online forums have the inside track on players' physical wellbeing gave me a good old laugh - thanks!

Spot on.

Any player nowadays will have a far more in-depth medical than was possible in the past.  The specialists these days can tell you about potential future injury likelihood from the analysis that’s carried out.  The Gibbo’s, Wilson’s etc will have undergone rigorous tests rather than being told to do a few sprints up the touchline.

Off topic, but I’m sure I read somewhere, a Carol interview maybe, that we took a cryogenic chamber of some sort to Wembley.

Im neither, but regular visits to the Walsall forum give me the strong impression that he is unlikely to be playing again. We can and will do better. 

Regular visits to the Walsall forum???? Come on, there’s got to be something more fulfilling in your life than that?  Haven’t you got a spare house brick you can stare at for an hour or two?

Finding players these days is not like the old scouting system. With video footage etc and an abundance of agents it must be a minefield. 

Spoke to Sir John, when he had nearly nailed the Ian Taylor deal, he said dont tell anyone, this guy can play. Obviously he had other scouts checking him. We have a backroom team and others who know the leagues. No point going for a one hit wonder. 

The loan window will be useful, plus 30th June there will be a lot of players without any club, plenty of time.
