    No complaints at all about The Don. He's done what he could in a poor team and always been there for us. My only regret with him is we didnt get him here earlier in his career. All the best Don and good luck.

    This sort of signing would have never happened under the old dictator so bit of credit should go to owners to let Bowyer actually bring in who he wants

    He's been playing in the Championship for the last five years, Birmingham to Sheffield to Bolton. You don't stick around at that level for long if you don't have something about you. He's probably past his best but I'm sure he could have got a league one club had he wanted to. There won't be many clubs in league two who sign strikers that were regularly playing in the Championship last season.

    Donaldson is the type of player I’d dred to see on the oppositions team sheet. This feels a very good singing for us.

    A good day at the office.

    Really pleased with this, and very pleasantly surprised that he has dropped to league 2. Despite his age, I would have expected him to secure a move to at least a league 1 club.

    Well done to all at the club who have made this possible

    Not that worried for Donaldson’s goal record, for me he can turn Doyle from a 10-12 goal a season to a 20+

    Thats more like it, a proper City fan response! ;) To be honest Dennis we are probably getting him well beyond his best but man we are in League 2 and I think, as has been mentioned in other posts, this will lift the place (and most fans) and whatever you think GB has put down a real marker here. I am optimistic he will offer far more than we saw from McLean. Whispers I am getting is another striker is lined up and I agree with Fordy??:eek: that we will need to add a bit of pace to our frontline. Doyle situation is still far from clear and think our plan is to also add a younger loanee as well (front man) - but this probably wont happen until August.
    If Paudie was to return there is a real core of a team starting to emerge - we still definitely lack a bit of craft from midfield but to be in this position by mid June is good news, and this time the players have been chosen by the manager who is responsible for getting the best out of them. Keep it coming GB (and the Board) :thumbup:

    Aside from his pedigree which is great, Donaldson is exactly the relatable sort of player we’ve not had for too long, someone who feels like one of us and not some Anthony O’Connor/Josh Wright mercenary who looks like they couldn’t give a ****.

    We are in league two. Nicky Maynard got 20 plus in this league. Luke Varney at 36 got 14 last season. Chris Porter at 35 got double figure s

    I think he will do well in this league

    Absolutely. It's not his fault his legs went after the injury last year and he's always given 100%, so his shooting boots have failed him but if 1 to 11 the whole team had put in the effort that he did we wouldn't be finishing so low, irrespective of him scoring or not.

    Great pro and a bit of respect is deserved.

    Peter Thorne was haggered when we signed him, but had the class and quality.

    Could be a good signing.

    I do agree.

    If he'd signed for another league two club I'd gave been like - really, why couldnt we have got him? Must be budget etc etc

    So, yer, a good signing I'd say.

    Perhaps I’ve got my rose tinted glasses on but I don’t see the scatter gun approach of last season. We appear to be recruiting early with a clear plan in mind. It’s hardly rocket science but I have to say that it sure feels good.

    A dignified and articulate reaction from a decent guy. Wouldn't have expected anything less.
