Seems like we are back filling our youth ranks while awaiting the second coming of the academy under Will Ryder. Signings like Derek and Robinson, to sit on the bench and make the odd appearance while they develop up.

As a side note, anyone got any ideas on the pronunciation of the new lads second name 😅?

Ag-yak-wa, as it reads, I'd imagine?!

Disappointed with that and can’t help but think he was one of the ones that maybe failed the personality test / fell through at the end. Thought it was odd us having a trialist GK on the bench Saturday. Good signing for Exeter he’s a very good keeper. Hopefully we get our next target

Majority of the stoke fans are either puzzled to why Forrester is leaving or genuinely gutted. 

A signing and a chance to stick it to the obese lot across the road. 

Happy days

Tommy McDermott signing a 3 year deal with an option. He must have really impressed in Spain.

[Guppys left peg]

That’s a huge deal for Tommy. Congrats to him as to convince the club to invest that into his future he must have really impressed behind the scenes also. I think rather than a loan straight away it might be better to keep him round the first team environment then look at the right club to send him to in January maybe?

Not good?  Indifferent would be the word of choice. Not fussed either way about the guy to be honest.  One year deal says it all.  No problem for me with Stoney in goal Saturday. Happy to wait if we’re looking for a more experienced keeper.

Aiden Stone my Lord, Aiden Stone - in the absence of my beautiful purple prince, Aiden is a great number one - with a really cool vale song to boot - plaudits to whoever came up with that one 😍😍😍😍

Exeter have to pay big money to tempt players to go all the way down there. That could well have been a factor too.
