    It would be an elite L1 signing but I'm afraid I have to file it with Windass, Wells and Balotelli.

    I know he only scored 7 goals last season Kev but goal scoring isn't the only reason clubs are interested.
    He had 16 assists, 3 times more than Adam Phillips who was 3rd in the table on 5 assists.
    He's quick and tricky and was their best player in the VP 2-2 draw. We can't afford him but I'd definitely have him if we could.

    This would be interesting as they've suggested a couple of small things around the edges so far without being completely clear something would happen. They used to get bits from the club but then "closed down" a bit. Will be interesting to see if it comes true.

    They used to be in dialogue with Sparks but they were critical of him so Im guessing that pipeline was cut. One of them is Bobbys cousin so Id assume they have to be careful what they share so club doesnt think he is leaking stuff.

    Especially when you see who posted it and have a quick check on their posting history.

    Paul Mullin has had his contract mutually terminated. Fair play to get all that money out of them for as long as he did. Feels like either a Tranmere or Salford type move is in his future.

    His record at league 2 level can’t be sniffed at and at 31 I’m sure someone will take a punt.
    Unfortunately he’s famously not been able to do it in league 1 but he’s had a brilliant ride with Wrexham and is a local hero down there. Shame he wasn’t given much more than a cameo here but I suspect he just wasn’t fit enough.

    Bit quiet considering on the rumour front seeing as there may be a signing today

    Does feel like we've missed out or been priced out of our top targets in midfield. The "first round" of strong midfield players are being announced now.

    Wintle was a pipe dream. Was on 12-15k at Cardiff. White wanted to remain Southern. Never heard of Brierley tbh.

    What point? That we've massive gaps I the midfield?

    Stating the bleeding obvious if so but given that it's not even July yet then the panic is nothing short of a nonsense. The club will be working on things 24/7 so let's see where we are when the window shuts before we all declare that we're doomed!

    He wasnt good enough. He had chances but did nothing apart from run round like a headless chicken and give away fouls. Wrexham fans said he wasnt good enough for L1 and so did Wigan fans.

    L2 is probably his level. Still might have something to give.

    I spoke to a Leicester supporter today who said unless they sell some of their big owners they can’t afford to bring anybody in

    There where stories that he couldn’t train properly and just like Sam Stubbs before him GA won’t pick anybody who isn’t in full training
