    I've no idea where he'll play but according to Stockport fans he's no good in an attacking sense and all his attributes are in the defensive areas.

    If we have Richards and Touray in the squad it is pretty obvious Wright's days as a LWB are over.

    No he didn't. What he actually said was he can play there, has played there and was signed to play there but more recently has been used further forward. Reading between the lines he was acknowledging that LWB isn't his best position.

    Why do you need it explaining when I and other know you are utterly wrong . No player is contracted to play in a certain position. I don’t care what or how a manager plays him on a few occasions . He’s not a wing back as long as he’s got ears . A failed experiment but hey he’s still got a contract ;)

    We don’t need either or both Touray or Lewis in the squad Serge to understand Wright isn’t a WB . As vindicated, a failed experiment . It’s probably one of the most demanding positions , he’s shown he can’t do it . No disrespect to the lad but if we want to establish ourselves it won’t be with him as our go to LWB . You are spot on , the writing is on the wall and it’s dry.

    He says it’s Touray, he says that he expects it to be done before the weekend if someone hasn’t cleared it up

    Was saying this to my lad, a wing back is the toughest position to master, if you're a good one you'll go far as not many can do it to such a high standard. I'd say primarily you have to be able to attack rather than defend as with us Alexander is looking for his wing backs to be a creative outlet. Thats why Tayo has such potential.

    So that means the one who has signed and is ready to be announced isnt Touray then. Interesting...

    Assuming fatty is on the button.

    I think the striker rumour was rubbish

    Seen that Wallace has gone to Town. I'm genuinely not bothered about this one, probably wanted a large wage and we desperately need some pace in the centre back positions. Think there's only Baldwin back there that posseses some.

    I think as he is defensive minded he will play left centre half in a three

    If we want someone to play left centre half I would rather we got a left centre half :)

    You might be right but left full back who has good heading ability should be very capable of playing there because much of the time they are covering for the wingback. It would be different if it were a two central defender system

    Stockports's local hack appears to confirm the news of Touray
