Be fair. He was spot on about Josh Wright - no way in a million years was he ever going to go to Leyton Orient.

 

Pretty sad state of affairs when Tranmere can pinch a player from you by offering more wages.

 

No way P OConnor would sign for us either

 

He is our player and under contract we would be stupid to let him go until we have a replacement. If we don’t sign one he stays

 

Maybe we could go back in for Kristian Dennis. Has anybody got Dominos number?

 

We all know how this works. Vaughan and his agent have been blowing us kisses, secured the best deal we could afford, then made themselves unavailable whilst they think about it, but making sure we are in no doubt the deal is more or less a done deal. Then went out and about in LG1, to see if there are any takers. I doubt he would have said to the club that is what they would be doing because GB would have thrown the deal in the bin. Yes of course Vaughan has every right to go and get himself the best possible deal, but be honest. GB has stated categorically that under no circumstances are we having players who do not want to sweat and give there all for this club. My guess is that this deal is well and truly in the bin now the club know about Tranmere.

 

It is interesting that those 'leaks' coming out that the deal was all but done seemed to dry up almost as soon as the goalkeeping coach was announced. Maybe a conspiracy theory too far, but what if James Vaughan has never been in Bowyer's plans and all this boils down to is someone at the club with lose lips overheard the name Vaughan being mentioned and put 2 and 2 together and came up with 5?

 

Seriously?!

 

Only in a pre season can you get this sort of drama and nonsense, love it far better than the football last season.

 

That’s the sort of outstanding work ethic that makes me proud to be British.

 

Like showing him what a football looked like?

 

Never in doubt this one, never in doubt...

 

To be honest I had trouble recognising our players from last season they've not figured for so long.

 

Vaughan is exactly the type of player we needed last season for Doyle to play off. Letting him leave now would be a bad move.

 

He didn't really do anything. Take out the penalties and his all round game was poor.

 

Actually it's around 80 goals in just over 300 career games and played a lot of his career at a very good level.

Whilst in league two, anyone that can offer a negative about this signing is being very short sighted indeed.

 

CB: James Collins
CM: Joe Ledley
LW: Craig Conway

2 out of 3 would be nice.

 

James Collins would a humdinger of a signing if something that did come off. Him and P O'Connor at the back, might as well give us the league 2 trophy now.

 

Not saying it’ll be those three, but I expect the left winger and at least one CM to be quality ‘statement of intent’ type signings. Maybe another squaddie CM and centre back, and a couple of loans - depending who we shift out.

We’re steadily building the sort of squad that would give me confidence of a playoff push in League One so it has to bode well for league two. If Bowyer does the business he wants, we’ll be a real force....

 

Purely in football terms I think Robinson is the better bet.
