Another lad from Warrington who started out at Wigan the same as Alfie....

Think they were both there the same time and Jensen will of course also know Ripley, so potentially good for team building. Looks a good player, fingers crossed.

Conlon gone to Oldham. A great signing for them and has been a real pro for us. Despite a few duff games I still admired a lot of his skill and ability. Stunned he is not still in the Football League.

Free agent isnt he...??

A shame it didn't work out with Conlon, an exemplary pro.

Do we reckon Jensen Weir improves us?

If he plays like he did last season yes.

Great signing for Oldham. He’s far too good for that level. Shame it’s not worked here as he was brilliant in our promotion season, think that injury has really hampered him. Thought he would end up in league 2 or with DC. Wish him all the best

Yes, I'd hoped he wanted to move back home. If that was the case we'd probably have already signed him already. He'll get a club, so I suspect he's weighing up financial offers. I suspect he'll get better offers elsewhere.

Without Garrity he should do and if he’s out for a while then definitely. More depth anyway, garrity wont have to play 90 minutes every game

Looks a decent signing. Did very well last season goals and assists, seems to have struggled with Blackpool but sounds like what we need with Garrity out. 
 

From what I gather he only started 4 games for them, and while he didn't score, he did get two assists during his brief time there.

Good luck to Conlon, lost it badly after his injury during the promotion season(confidence seemed to go) but was excellent the season we were all locked up and couldn't go.  Just sadly no one was there in person to see his 10 goal haul from midfield, his one at Barrow inparticular was a stunner!  He should do well for Oldham at NL level if he rediscovers his confidence but needs to learn how to use his right foot again!

Nice signing in Weir to replace Arblaster seems a good move.

I have no idea. He was the only player who is available who can do much of what Garrity does. Does show how quickly football can turn around, in August he was wanted by Portsmouth,  Derby, Blackpool and Reading. He was very, very good for Morecambe.  He can play as a 10, right midfield, holding midfield, centrehalf and fullback.  I suspect Brighton are still hoping he'll come through but desperately want him playing regularly.  I don't think he quite fitted how Blackpool play. At Morecambe he often sat just behind the centreforward,  I think he even started an odd game at centreforward. 

If you want my best guess, Denver Hume from Portsmouth.  Alternative would be a fee for Adam Mayor from Morecambe whose a left sided player and pretty young. I believe Morecambe have money problems. 

The player I'd love to see at Vale is Charlie Kirk,  although I don't see it happening. 

I’m expecting Denver Hume to be resurrected and I would love Kirk as well.

We are light in CM, I wonder if we will bring a player in or just treat Sang as a CM and recruit a RWB.

A player who really stands out at NL level RB/RWB is Kieran Coates. He has genuine electric pace to burn and is exceptional defensively with a really good delivery. He’s better than Mitch now from the handful of games what I’ve seen of him this season and last year. Only a young lad but with lots of appearances already.Certainly the type of player who I’d like us to add with a long term view but could more than hold his own now.
