    Hopefully an excellent signing for this level.
    Another couple with pedigree like this and I might even put a fiver on us staying up.

    Think this proves we want to be in it to win it. Good signing and shows we are looking for quality in positions that we showed vulnerability.All the signs are positive that we have access to the players that will improve the squad....good stuff!

    On this earth, yes, but now with flashpoint you'll find that on Earth 17 they stayed up and recently purchased Lionel Messi thanks to their new Russian Oligarch owner.

    Keep up AB! ;) :D

    Evens - 'Meh'
    50/1 - 'ok signing'

    A good signing on paper, pleased with this one and our recruitment seems to have improved from last pre-season. I was worried we were going to really try and do it on the cheap but we seem to be attracting a couple of decent players.

    Was quite common for a while back in the day. My dad can bore you to tears with tales of a 2-3-5 formation if you like.

    Wouldn’t say cynical... a tough nut however. He was at the back end of his career when with us so a tad slower. Unafraid of a tackle and his slower pace made him look cynical.

    Use Joey Barton as your modern day comparison perhaps?

    True JB, I mean look at that sh*thouse keeper we had on loan from the Mackems a few years ago. That lad'll go nowhere getting sent off like that!

    Hopefully we have recruited or are recruiting - players who are capable of creating and scoring goals from set pieces - especially at home as we try to break teams down. McMahon in the first half of the season was key in this area that saw us in the play off places.

    Weve got robinson and gibson, admittedly not bags of experience but i wouldnt be worried about either playing on the wing. Given we had mccarten, law and gillead on the wings last year i know who id rather have.
    Having said all that, an experienced winger probably wouldn't go amiss, as personally id like to see robinson given the odd game up front running off wyke's shoulder

    Fantastic signing for us. I must say, as an open critic of Rahic I am very pleasantly surprised at the signings we have brought in this summer.

    Glad I never mentioned it @Allotment Bantam@Allotment Bantam, @Botswana Bantam@Botswana Bantam has completely lost me with that reply.
