    I think Weir will come in.
    Been a lot of noise about him this month.

    On loan yes. I’m talking permanent transfers in the summer should Metcalfe be sold.

    I'll be looking out for Stones now to see what he has to his game. Funny were after Beesley, he was another that looked to have a decent skillset when we played Rochdale, I mentioned him a fair few times on here. Ultimately, for a player to move up the levels they have to have something in their armoury that will be able to capitalised on in those levels. It's why Andy Cook, as much as I love him, never made it past a small number of games in league one.

    Stones is a similar player to Cook. Strength, good in the air and can score. Albeit not as prolific just yet. He's only 22. I touted Stones as a player to sign while we had Cook, let him learn from the master!

    He sounds an exciting player but £1M would be an insane gamble for city to take on a player who’s basically all promise. That’s not to say he’s not the next Jamie Vardy but city can’t blow that much on a gamble when it could fund 4-5 good signings!

    Huddersfield trying to hijack the Hardie move. You would think Bolton hold the trump card as Hardie played for Schumacher before.

    Punishment indeed, playing for Evans and Raynor.

    If Leigh leaves, don't we need 2 CM signings? Feel a bit light in the middle?

    Crikey, the transfer fees even at this level are nuts nowadays, we're gonna need Stefan to dig deep into his "Lederhosen"

    I can't tell you what his best position is/was so it's hard for me to say what we need.

    And they are home games as well,as Rochdale played a lot of away games while their pitch was being re-laid.

    You mean Bolton/Schuey is in pole position?

    I get it, I really do. And it's a shame. I always go back to this time last year, when he was available for £250k.

    Stockport taking a loan gamble on Louie Barry. Good player, but expected to be out through injury until March. How do they pass a medical then?

    What we won't need though is as much hair conditioner in the changing room showers anymore..

    If Leigh does go to Bristol Rovers we must have at least one player lined up for central midfield. We would have zero cover for Power and Metcalfe

    Stockport have turned down a £750k bid for Jack Diamond from Luton, Stockport want £1.5m for him.
