'Deepthroat' tells me the Blunts are thinking of taking what's been described as a 'punt' on Ched Evans. They believe he's available on the cheap and if they can get him back to anything like his best he'll be an asset.

They're also interested in Sam Morsy.

The other potential move mentioned was Donal McDermott back to Town. Apparently he's out of Hill's plans at Rochdale due to an alleged attitude problem and we've made an initial approach.

As always this is merely gossip so treat it as such.

Sad thing now is I'd have thought he'd be way out of our price range wages wise

An attitude problem? He and Caldwell will get on then.

Great start for bobs board transfer window bingo players.

He would destroy league 2 though.

You'd have thought McDermott would've grown up by now. More or less kicked out of professional football for having an attitude problem then just as looks like he's getting his career back on track his attitude (apparently) rears up again.
I would love to see players with his trickery at town but if his ego means that he's going to be a problem then I'd rather he stayed away.

Life goes on. Whatever happens.

Why are you saying we are not on par with Dale.

What we do want is more height in the team especially up front.

God I hate this league.

Could you enquire about any members of their team - I'd take all 11.

It's all good fun "conjecturing." I would be interested to know how much Caldwell knows about existing players in the league and our new league 2 nest. I would expect him to be aware of most people. It's the reserves at Birmingham etc... I'm less confident with...

Just had a response from my contact at Rochdale. He confirmed that Donal and Hill have fallen out spectacularly and McDermott will not be offered a new contact. He says he is a good player but serious attitude issues. Not heard Chesterfield mentioned in any destinations for him but will let me know if anything is heard.

If Evans goes to the blunts it will only be a PR exercise, probably part of the deal for the pre season friendly. Don't thing he is ready for Championship yet.
If it was my club I would tell Ched to stay till January and get his form and fitness sorted first.

Like I've said numerous times there'll be plenty willing to offer £300k for a punt.

They'll do what they did with Gboly; turn down (in this instance) around £300k and try to flog him in January for more. He'll sign a pre-contract elsewhere during that time, or we'll have to loan him out to lower the wage bill.
