Great news about Garrity! If we can keep him fit he's a brilliant player especially for league 2

The good news is don’t have to concern ourselves with any will they or won’t they sign for any players we wanted to keep now. At least got some clarity on that front.

Well, Ben is the only player we offered a contract to so at least we don't need to worry about this now.

Had his fair spells of bad injuries.

Hopefully the bad luck is over and he can push on

We need the 2022 version again and drive that midfield

So, Phil understands other clubs were interested in Ben but he decided to stay with us.

Big signing really and our midfield options for league two are embarrassingly good, Byers, Garrity, Walters, Croasdale, just add a goal scoring one to that and we are in a good position.

So... VFD's crap they threw against the Twitter wall has stuck?

Bet they are feeling all smug.

Fitness is the big issue with Garrity and maybe the details of the contract reflect that who knows

I am ok with this though because we know on his day he can be very good,lets see if we can better around him now as long as i dont have to see Shipley again

Feel like I've gone back in time 9 months when we were all saying this.

They are good individually, my problem with our midfield is we've barely had any workable or consistent pairings with the amount of rotation. Not sure the four of them have the right balance amongst each other, but maybe thats just me.

They just need the other 97 players they’ve linked us with to sign now 😁

I agree with this. We don’t have any balance in midfield.

Unless Byers is off, not sure how we are going to rectify this problem now with not much movement to be had with midfield places

I completely forgot Shipley is still technically on the books at vale. The same gutted feeling you get as a kid on a Sunday and remembering its back to school tomorrow

Hopefully someone comes in for him soon or at least loan him out until his deal runs out

Have absolutely no doubts about Ben in league 2. League 1, I remain unconvinced.

Thinking more 24 months ago, for L2 not L1.

Do think as well Brady will play him more advanced so could be the goal scoring midfielder again.

Ben Hinchliffe is leaving Stockport. Might be worth a look.

I was informed in this thread that Garrity would not sign the contract and would be leaving us.

I'll never understand why people say things will happen. Not "I don't think Garrity will sign", "I think he will leave", "he WILL leave" I was told.
