    “When meeting him and speaking to people who have worked with him and played against him, it was clear he is focused on making the most of this opportunity.

    like this line from City site. Bowyer doing a bit of basic character checking.

    Sounds like a properly researched, ambitious signing for a very good player that other clubs wanted.

    You just know he's going to do his cruciate in the first week of pre-season.

    This is slightly more accurate...

    There are now attacking full backs in Longridge and Mellor. As well as this, Bowyer has mentioned the possibility of a target man to potentially partner Doyle and play 2 up front. I wonder if we may play 3-5-2 on some occasions next season with Longridge and Mellor as wing backs?

    I'd be over the moon, JL and POC with fees paid for both would be a signal of trying to invest in talent the right way. Let's see I guess.

    No doubt they aren't costing the earth but even if the fee paid is 60k, it's a good contribution away from wage budget isn't it? As FB said, it's a sign we're not lumping our hopes on 10 random youngers, but on a player who has competitive experience. It's all very early and no doubt a gamble but I'd much prefer this sort of player to the over paid bunch we had last season.

    Another interesting addition to the squad. Hopefully we will have a solid defence this season. We desperately needed a bit more power/presence at the back last season and hopefully we’re getting there now. Bowyer seems to know exactly what he wants for the squad and that’s encouraging.

    6'2. Big lad for a full back. There'll be some height in our back 4 next season....

    He seems highly rated and I assume there's a fee involved as he was still under contract I believe...

    He scored five goals in his 41 appearances for Dunfermline and only one of those was as substitute.

    Looks like we might of got a good one.

    Well, others have suggested P O'C. I've heard that from a couple of people too.

    That's what I've heard, but time will tell....

    If he's available for transfer, I think other league 1 and 2 clubs would be interested. Though most aren't in a position to pay fees. And we're local, which has to be an advantage...

    Looks like we are totally rebuilding the defence and possibly patching up the midfield and you would hope adding to the strikers - with or without Doyle.
