Don't know much about him, but left-back is certainly a position that we need competition, and judging by the fact we aren't the only Championship club to be after him, he must be pretty decent.

Well we need a left back.

We should also sign this Grenada national team mate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moron_Phillip

He would play well alongside Moron_Bell

Don't know much about him but if other champ clubs are interested why would he choose us?

Because as we have the smallest squad he will have more of a chance of playing for us than anyone else.

Anthony Straker, 22 year old Grenada international - Ipswich and Watford interested too.

He was certainly highly rated in his BSP days and was versatile back then too-he's played defensive midfield and elsewhere in defence. He's played a lot of games and made the BSP Team of The Season in the past. Could be a good signing, similar to Hussey but maybe with slightly less potential.

Don't read too much into Grenada international, though-they've had players from the lower reaches of non-league in their side, not the best standard!

Played for england @under 18 also ,we've had 1 or 2 make that level recently ,but that was also around the time C palace released him ,trouble is however much potential there may be you can;t build an entire team on it .this has come from somewhere on an ipswich site ,wonder how they know who we're chasing,guess if this ones to happen it would have to be loan to permenant,thought the mantra was quality over quantity,should have kept liam davis

The prospect of Aldershots leftback coming in to compete with ex AFC Wimbledons leftback just made me do a sex wee :|

I think im slowly getting cynical about the city.

Yeah, rubbish ain't it? We've never had any luck with lower league defenders. Who were those two awful ones we got from Walsall...?

Given Thorn's experience in the world of scouting, it is of no surprise that the Sky Blues continue to look at players from the lower leagues (just before we join them).

Like I've said before we are preparing well for League 1, I think we should compete quite well.....................as long of course that SISU don't sell them all along with the kitchen sink when we go down. By the way, we need midfielders anyway, attacking midfielders at that.

Can't believe this.... We must scout tonnes of low league players... he is out of contract and young and seems to be not bad. Doesn't mean there is any substance to it!

Ha! Agreed there, Macca. However, we're still in the realm of "who knows?" and we do need cover for Hussey, who incidently I think is a cracking player.
