    I'm starting to get excited now. Trying to convince myself not to expect too much next season with it being the first season back in the 4th tier, however I'm impressed with the signings we've made, their attitude and Bowyer's mantra of fixing the defence first and foremost

    Sounds another promising signing. Still young, but plenty of experience at much higher level. Obviously, GB knows him well, so his character must not be in question. I am liking how GB is going about his business so early in the summer.

    Be nice to see some announcements regarding coaching staff or assistant manager. Seeing all the departures and no replacements so far, is a bit unsettling.

    Perhaps the 1 year contract is more from our side given his recent injury record?

    Gary knows him and knows what he's done before so he's giving him a shot is my take on it.

    Don’t know anything about him, and doesn’t appear to have played any more than 24 games in one season, so has never really held down a place for a whole season.

    I reckon he’ll be backup for the main full backs (Mellor/Longridge) and not considered to be a starter.

    Wasn't that from a time when he was 17 and playing PL football though?

    It's a world away to being 25 and in league two.

    If and it’s a big if he gets back to anywhere near the standard he was in the early parts of his career then he will be a real asset. Being in division 2 means we won’t get the complete finished article and there will always be risk. That’s why we were able to sign him

    Don’t forget an open top bus - we need to send them to City Hall in style.

    With two good full backs in Mellor and Longridge in already he is obviously in for cover on a one year deal time to prove he has put his injury problems behind him

    I am just glad we have a solid coaching/back room team to bring these players on.

    Fair enough. He did have a decent career. I had seen similar comments from Blackburn fans about Caddis when we signed him.

    Go on, I'll take the bait, who was these "some" who thought Ismail could be the first 100m player?

    Achieved nothing in his career does not appear to tally with the level of achievement we require.

    Being a squad player at Championship level offered multiple new contracts is not below the minimum for a League Two club.

    To suggest it is is absurd.
