Didn't Gunnarsson leave on a free?

Quite possibly. For some reason I thought he ran down his contract and we got a fee due to his age but as we didn't develop him why would we?

Tom Billson gone to sCUNThorpe on season long loan, I wonder if there's any chance of us bringing in a real goalkeeper in the next week or so!

Will be interesting to see how Bilson gets on. Higher level than I was expecting, would have thought non league to start with.

He was probably the 23s best player last season, good move

Genuine question, I've not seen this lad play, do u rate him? Think he's got potential? He's certainly got the build and height of a keeper.

Rated very highly by MR, I'm suprised he hasnt stopped here ho compete for a first team chance, but regular first team games will do him good.

From what I have seen he is quite good at shot stopping, and as you say he has the physical attributes. It's his ball playing skills that need work. But been a while since I have seen him

It's still a major area of concern. Moore has got 2 weeks to get rid of the rust, I hope he turns out to be a great signing, but as things stand there's a lot of work still to do.
Wilson is a capable number 2 but as we know he's got error up his sleeve.
Burge was the same, Marosi was ok but apparently fell out with Robins, it's been a while since we had a solid keeper.

I used to teach ICT I’m well aware of the difference between fact and opinion thanks. I’d have thought it goes without saying anything I post is my opinion unless stated otherwise.

This post is entirely my opinion, I in no way guarantee the validity of said opinions. Facts are not opinions, opinions may be proven true or false, please do your own research before following anything you read from strangers on the internet.

Pretty sure we made a hefty profit on Fox. Over a million at least. Think they also ended up funding some of the earlier transfers like Borrowdale, Best and Simpson, who we all made a profit on. Gunnarson as well we made some profit on.

But yeah some of the big signings like Eastwood, Westwood and Bell where they either failed or we didn't get them on a longer contract we made pretty big losses on.

Third season they starting selling off the silver and although they spent some of the money on transfers we still made around £4.5m profit. Almost all of those signings left on a free too.

Basically they refused to give the decent players new contracts on higher wages and eventually they just ran their contracts down and left. Any attempt to keep them with a new deal was too late by then.

After that it was clear they'd lost faith in funding transfers and started to bring in a lot of loan players and freebies and we just steadily got worse.

Still baffled to this day how we managed to turn a profit on Gary Borrowdale.

He’ll improve or he won’t, nothing else can really be said. People keep trying to restart the age old Shankland rumours as well. I’d be amazed if we recruited another forward.

If we sign any more forwards Robins needs shooting. Already seemingly blown our entire budget on them.

Shankland wont happen, we havnt got a single LWB as it stands, and we desperately need a centre back (or even 2)
But with Billson out on loan and Allen possibly on his way, it looks like we are making wages available.

Tad extreme again- on what basis do you assume you have more knowledge of what’s needed than the manager

We didn't score nearly enough last season, it's a bigger issue than our defensive record

You talk absolute shit. We let 2 forwards go who most agreed were nowhere near championship standard and had to upgrade them

Think it's LWB and CHs to come in recruitment wise now as think he's filled the other end of the pitch.

If you only want to read opinions that align with the managers can I suggest you log off SBT and only read interviews on the offal?

We let 3rd and 4th choice strikers go and had to replace them but lost two of our first choice back five and they don’t need replacing.

Make it make sense.
