    Welcome aboard and good luck to him.

    I'm hoping for some transfer news on the new spine of the team soon though. Good center back, center midfielder and striker needed. Get the feeling from these early signings though that we need to move some of the big earners on before we can do that, by the time that happens you have to wonder who will be left available.

    Be lucky to be mid table to be honest. Far far too early to panic, but, as the squad stands, where are the goals coming from? Where’s the midfield creativity? Signed a player who’s been relegated from League 1 the last two seasons and released twice, an Accrington reserve defender, Port Vale’s reserve keeper and a kid from non league.

    Mid table mediocrity? The recruitment so far is dreadful.

    Not inspiring, possibly dreadfull.
    Recruitment mainly dictated by the 16 contracted shower of shite still wanting their salaries.
    However, whatever the quality ( or lack of) of our new recruits, at least there's a bit of thought behind the signings

    this if you watch it properly is EXTREME poor defending rather than a good goal

    That no 6's defending was bloody appalling

    And then he goes mental.

    He’s tracked back with all the determination and work ethic of Hope Akpan. At least we got rid of that useless sod last mon...... ah bugger

    I was highlighting his pace not the goal in particular.

    Very true, however it is the sort of defending we will be facing next season in fairness.

    One of my golden rules is never sign anyone that someone at your level doesn't want. There's always a reason they don't want him and it's usually a good one. Having said that there are always exceptions so let's hope he's one. Looking at his career, though, set alarm bells ringing for me. Perhaps he's cover for Scannell if he stays.We'll find out soon enough.

    Not the most inspiring of signings to be honest. However, the ex Walsall scout must know plenty about him to recommend him, so who knows, he may well turn out to be a decent signing

    As with most new signings, Ive hardly seen play, i shall reserve judgement until Ive seen him play for us.

    I get the feeling that any more higher profile signings than we have signed so far, will be pending the release of some of last seasons expensive rabble

    Can I just ask why most are getting their undies in a twist, when we signed players of the calibre of Payne, Scannell and co last season; and they underperformed?

    What do past achievements even count for anymore.

    Just saying.

    We're a 4th divison Club signing 4th divison players.
    Some folk need a dose of realism , we certainly won't be buying ourselves out of this league and if anyone thinks otherwise they are delusional.

    Crappy, lazy journalism. Released would mean he was under contract and they cancelled it for some reason thereby "releasing him" from the contract. I think what they mean is his contract ends on 30 June and they won't make him an offer so he is free to go.

    The fact that he's seemingly not a very good 4th division player is the issue here.

    If this is the standard our budget allows us to bring in then it's going to be another long season.

    Seems he was released for financial reasons rather than his football

    Based on what as far as I can see he has never played in league two

    I know a coach who has worked with him, he said when he is on his game he can be a handful and thinks we are getting him at the right age and point in his career.
    We need to remember how crap the so called 'big names' on the whole turned out to be last season and at least give the new guys a chance - like most I am hoping there will be one or two who come in who raise our hopes a little more and just hoping some of last seasons deadwood can be moved on so GB has a bit more funding to play with
