    We can put it to bed anyway, he's off to Grimsby, apparently his missus put on Instagram any decent places near Grimsby to live, think she'll be disappointed.

    Also don't know if I'm totally wrong with this one as it may be out of our reach, but going a bit left field. Any chance of us asking Leeds to borrow that lad they've just signed from Wigan called Geldhart? Not sure if he's going to be playing in their first team.

    If we are looking at strikers from league one I wonder if we have spoken to Jordy and Brett Pittman, both out of contract and both would rather not drop down to league two I imagine.

    Pitman has only ever played down south. Now at 32 I don't think he'd move here.

    McCall was saying the players he wanted were at clubs who wanted them off the wage bill so must still be contracted

    Good as he would be, I am not sure Grigg would drop down to Lge 2 even if we could afford him. Suspect we are more likely to be looking at Ryan Taylor (ex Plymouth but born in Rotherham) or Louis Moult who has just been released by Preston (after a season long absence with ACL injury). Stuart got the best out of him at Motherwell previously.

    If i was at the club looking to sign new players, i would keep the information released down to a bare minimum .
    Why tell any possible players / agents , we have just recieved x amount for so and so.
    Footballers and there agents, dont live in the real world, like the rest of us and probably dont know what covid is or dont care and will still try and demand stupid wages , salary cap or not.
    Hence Aberdeen and Celtics games , being called off, because of idiotic footballers .

    Freddie Hinds in on loan from Bristol city is one rumour. Signed for Colchester last season and I don’t think he played one game.
    Scored 2 goals in 18 at bath city season before.

    Get the promotion bus booked

    but as the only club from the lower leagues that pay a fee surely we'll be ahead of the queue.

    There are some lovely places to live in Lincolnshire, doesn't have to be Cleethorpes or Grimsby. Just like players option if they sign for us. Plenty of nice places to live within reasonable distance

    I think there will be a lot of "Vaughan" transfers being done before
    the season starts.Released by "mutual consent" could become the
    norm because clubs have to survive and getting rid of players who
    are on bigger wages will become available and in turn,they will have
    to be realistic as the money won't be there any more until the crisis
    has passed,if it ever does....

    In other words convincing them to come to Bradford City, our stock / pull gets weaker year on year. Banging in the door to convince doesn’t feel like the sort of player we want. With the salary cap we can’t even bribe them with cash now.

    Can't be true, there must be 100's of players out there whose lifetime ambition has been to pull on a Bradford City shirt...

    I think in a few weeks there might be 100s of footballers out of work who might suddenly develop that ambition!
