    Excellent. Time we took the power away from players and agents. If I ran football I would totally ban the use of the sycophants.

    We got some of our best players from Rochdale last time, and we gave them a couple of beatings now and then too.

    I don't think it matters too much where the players come from, as long as they add quality in key areas by giving us options and attributes we otherwise didn't have.

    Something that has been missing from our recruitment these last three or four years.

    This is almost unheard of. A player who we know is good, who wants to come and join us, is NOT our first choice target. Wow. How things have changed! I'm interested to know who is on the list ahead of him. Guess we've not long to find out. Game tmrw, I'm expecting some movements on Wednesday and Thursday.

    I cannot work out whether Sellars is bluffing, or whether there is something not quite right about the character of McAleny?

    I cannot imagine we would be able to attract better quality this window in our position

    If there was something wrong with his character then he wouldn't be on our list at all. I think its a front to try and drive the price down a little.

    Perhaps McAleny fee or wages are to high
    could be his injuries or it could be financiall maybe they can’t fit him to the long term salary cap plan or his fee would be to much with better value elsewhere . Or a mixture of all these

    Talking it down to reduce us getting into a bidding war and agents meddling. We cannot be looking at anyone better than him, if we are then we are being unrealistic.

    Yeah think we are defo playing it down even with this Novak injury to not push the price up for anyone keeping it under wraps. It’s nice to see us been run like a professional club/business

    Plus Simon Parker has published three different stories about it now, he doesn’t do that unless something is really happening, he’s very careful with what he puts out.

    I wonder if McAleny has had a change of role this year or whether it's just a Josh Morris type prole patch. He's already got 14 goals whereas he only scored 11 in his last 3 years.

    Hope so. He's not been great since Grimsby but he's a big lad and would be more than capable of getting us goals in L2. He also looks like he'd also looks like he'd be a great foil for Rowe.

    I would be very surprised if we did unless Novak has a bad injury

    Even before the injury they were saying they still wanted a left winger and an experienced forward so I don't see why they wouldn't still be looking at that if Novak is back soon

    I think we need another forward for sure but they regard Rowe as a number 9 and Novak is definitely a 9 so I don’t think we need a third. It would be different in Novak was injured

    Cant see it, looks like we want that more left sided forward than and out and out number 9. Salford also want McAleny apparently but he's 3rd on their list behind Grigg and Bogle.
