My feeling is its a defensive player. Well I'm hoping anyway. The 1st August is a strange one, unless it's a early birthday present for me from the club.

Yes I heard this yesterday. Not a fan of the guy but his show was quite good to listen too to pass time away at work.

Why did we not get these sooner, ricketts may well grasp my man marking set up now!

Professional clubs up and down the country traditionally take a side to there non league neighbours, puts welcome cash in there pot as it tends to pull in 3/4/5 times there average gate for the season. I'm sure players would also rather test themselves in a match scenario rather than a...

I'm not concerned by the size of the squad yet, players have only been out of work a week so they will soon decide there future quickly and things will take shape. If in a months time we still have the same defensive players as now then I'll be concerned, until then.... Keep the faith.

Out the 2 if there was the choice I'd take leon as you no what your getting and likely 15 goals, and he can lead a front line. With all the talk of the possible tribunal fee it's likely gonna cost the same as signing leon.

This ones a very early season run out, very dull game most likely but wets the appetite for the season ahead. Many will draw plenty of negatives from what's a first game in 3 months. Anyone genuinely heard of any trialist's training with the club, Or is TM sticking to targets currently.

Not talking about football and something actually related to the topic are you?

http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/league-one-transfer-window-club-11563867 Poor Walsall look like they are seeing the effects of not going up, lost the bulk part of there squad already. Fleetwood and Shrewsbury made wholesale changes to there squads. Charlton look...

I see those who did a draft of a team all went with 4 at the back. Be interesting to see if TM starts the season how he finishes last year playing 3 at the back with 2 wing backs pushing higher up the pitch.

Ricketts looked very good for the first 10 games only, after this his performances started to drop. Yes, he offered a lot to the team with how versatile he is and like a pro got on with the job but he was awful at centre half. His man would always be yards away from him at set pieces and were...

He's not a bad player, also fits the business model TM and MV are trying to build. Young, promising player to build a base of the clubs identity from. Also there club captain so could be a good leader this team requires. Barnsley were interested in him only a month ago and any club would require...

Thankfully July 1st has come, domestic football is just around the corner. Pleased we've finally signed a player, I'd be happy with sordell too when/if that happens. AA back on loan sky's are blue again. Hoping TM has found that dominant central defender soon too

Not so sure he's a realistic target... 800k roughly paid for him.

A part of me is disappointed that we've not got his signature to lead our back line but he carries a risk with his playing record over the last few years. Surprised he's only took a 1 year deal at a relatively small club at that level rather than a 2 year deal somewhere else.

Jacob blyth who was spoke about earlier in the thread has joined Motherwell. Not a prolific striker but a local lad

Was think of getting this also for this season. Thought about getting it start of July for the preseason and to see what the new signings have too say.... Might wait till August.

Regardless of if he is good enough to play week in week out in the side if he's not prepared to be a squad player and spit his dummy out then that's detrimental to the team. The modern game is squad based at most clubs. For me job was best as a impact sub like he did v peterbough anyway. Was...

I read this the same, must of been a chance of TM taking the Rotherham job. MV knows TM well enough to no if it was dead in the water and to carry on with our summer plans.

Maybe it's job's attitude that's the problem, TM decided to use him less and less so he goes to Scunthorpe where he's closer to home missing his family. Sounds like there is a deal to be done for him there..... 4 months later it's gone sour. Yes he has desire and commitment on the pitch but...
