Summer transfer targets/rumours, retained list etc

Yep, seems that Alex Hurst was a nice bloke and I hope he does well for York. Seems a really good move for both clubs and the player. 

I wonder if Askey will be bringing in any more of his former players? Scott Burgess was released by Grimsby at the end of the season and seems to be a JA favourite.

Him and Crookes I’d imagine would be high on his list. Depending what interest there’d be in Amoo I wouldn’t rule him out either. 

Good luck to Hurst though, at this point in his career he needs to be playing and simply wasn’t going to happen here.

Fair play to JA. He signed him on a free and made money for us. That counts as a good signing.

Hope he goes on to do really well for himself, seems like a nice kid who needs a chance. Plus it won’t do our add ons any harm!

A fee and an addon clause is excellent business.

Good luck to Alex and John Askey. Fond memories of that 'Wilson's on fire' clip.

Bad timing regards his injury status at the start of last season meant perhaps DC didn’t get a really good look at him in the system he wanted to play- so perhaps a what might have been scenario.  It was obvious he had the right personality traits the management team are looking for from his reactions post matches when he was on the bench and that post Wembley video.

Re the video my daughter seemed to sum it up nicely saying he looked ‘both cute and creepy’ at the same time.  No doubt he took loads of stick from his teammates the next day when he woke up, probably lying under his car on the Lorne Street car park.

Looks like Bristol Rovers are announcing a signing today. Praying they have not beaten us on Telford signing.

I imagine he played for Barton at Fleetwood. 

I feel like Telford is becoming someone fans want just to say it's their club he signed for. If he signs, it's a great addition but if he doesn't it isn't the end of the world.

[Walka003]

Telford is becoming this summers Jamile Matt. Gonna be tears on here when we sign Theo instead

[Valiant in Brum]

In all fairness i'd like Telford but if not someone else. Would be nice to just have a signing or two.

The powers that be at PVFC know what best.

OR Telford is our 'Wilson' from last summer and becomes a hero?

[Guitar Ray]

Hurst looked like a young player who was a bit lost in the League games, decision making not always the best in a similar way to Harratt and Edmonson.  I think if he can stay fit and get regular games he’ll do well. He knew where the net was and that’s always a plus.

Not sure if 2 in 29 is knowing where the net is GR

What I meant was thatWilson was out of the blue. Matt had a protracted period of "we're signing him/we're not" until we eventually ended up with Robinson

I think it was Nicky Maynard wasn’t it before we ended up with that stiff instead? Seemed to be a never ending bidding war between us and Mansfield.

I thought it was more fans expecting Nicky Maynard and we ended up with Theo Robinson instead and fans got really upset.
