Brilliant, we need another centre half though. Wonder I'd there is any chance the centre half who played in pre season will be signing

That's good enough for me, however how does that work with our one in and one out situation?

I may be wrong, but I believe this guy is in as a replacement for Bell - in terms of numbers anyway, hopefully not in terms of fitness!

Good signing.

Clarke and Willis (whilst it's not obviously ALL down to them two) have conceded 6 in 2, we desperately need an old head at the back.

Question now is will he partner Clarke or Willis?

Why? Clarke is much more experienced than Willis

Willis "Was" the only recognised CB in our squad and is probably more accustomed to that role, while I like Jordan Clarke I think that it's probably wiser to use Willis

Sadly he's appears to have been dogged by injuries.
Made 12 appearances in between 2006 and 2008-either injured on not picked.
However seems to have averaged 30/season until 2011, according to the fountain of all knowledge, wikipedia....so maybe ok

Was at Orient game. Willis and Clarke did well but not brilliant. The problem was not these two lads but we lack a midfield dynamo playing in front of them. And of course after Baker went off we didnt have anyone helping the youngsters, verbally. Moussa was amazing and Adams had a good game. Cyrus got forward well and posed many threats. Thomas and Fleck are ok but really light-weight. I would prefer to play 5 - 3 - 2 system with Webster playing between Clarke and Willis

I read something on Wikipedia about his guy that guarantees he's a bad signing.

Hope we´re not expecting him to chip in with the odd goal here and there, since according to wikipedia he´s scored 2 in his entire career. Please note that this is just a light hearted comment, before people start to say that we didn´t get him to score goals or that we´re judging him before he´s kicked a ball etc.

TF was just on CWR saying that as we've got him in, we've got to let Leon, Joe, Carl and Cyrus go (unless we all promise to turn up for the next 3-5 years or so):jerkit::claping hands:

The in out policy is based on the incoming being 75% or less than the outgoing, so by getting rid of kids, you will not be able to bring anyone in!

We have done a deal with the FL and it is Webster in and Fisher out.
