I am still surprised that Lowery hasn't signed for anyone yet so close to the new season starting,he was supposed to be Crewe's best player over the last couple of seasons

Don't be surprise if he ends up with us and one of our midfielders moved on.

I deal replacement for Taylor imo if that was to happen

I know the posts today are a bit off topic but it’s so refreshing to see the debate evolve into who people fancy as their strongest starting XI. I know we are still light in certain areas but the quality and depth we now have in defence/mid is great to see. Very reassuring considering the new 5 sub rule. DC having the option to switch around something like walker, ojo, garrity for pett, conlon, charsley (or maybe even Holden) at the 60 minute mark will be brilliant - not just fresh legs but class to go with it!

I’ve read an interesting piece today from the local rag of Wycombe. They suggest free agents they should consider to sign. Demonstrates the powerful budgets we are battling against this season.

GK Ben Foster

CB Alfie Mawson, Micheal Hector

CM Tom Carroll

ST Conor Wickham

I would be happy with any of those if there are no takers 😀

Leeds are reportedly looking at Foster also.

Apparently he’s training with Vale and played the other day v Blackburn

Stoke also after Mawson. Think whoever wrote that article needs to stop drinking in the week.

Talking of powerful budgets, Pompey bringing in Dane Scarlett is a very good and probably expensive loan. It's gonna be tough next year

To sit on the bench?

[Alsager Whites]

still need forwards and gk. tuesday's signings were exciting but i don't think any of them will start on saturday and their combined wages would not have been much at all. good depth and potential but more needed.

How do you know this about the wages?

because they're all young lads. 

massey be on a wedge but forrester small and agyakwa have about 15 appearances between them - won't be on that much. not a problem i like young signings just 2 days out and only one fit forward and one keeper which needs sorting as good as tuesday was.

I do wonder if we're seeing DC's words in action now. The ones where he suggested it may be a few games in before the Vale complete their signings as they wait for the right players to become available later in the window?

I'd definitely agree that a GK and FW are needed but I think this may be the squad for the Fleetwood game now and those additions may come later on in the window. 

I wonder if, in the meantime, they may add a young "development" keeper (such as the lad from Salford) who can be emergency back-up for the opening games, ahead of someone more experienced coming in.

I disagree. Forrester has just come from Stoke where he would have probably been on a few grand a week. He hasn’t come here for hundreds.

Not much at all ? What are you on about
