couple of players released by their clubs today, lewis mcgugan at Wednesday and carl baker at pompey, anyone know much about these?

Lewis McGugan would never drop down to league 2 and would demand a wage far above our limits.

Carl Baker is 34 and can play as a winger. Caldwell doesn't sign wingers.

There are hundreds if not thousands of unattached players out there, there has to be someone who fits the bill itsfinding them that's the problem.

Isn't that What Branston gets paid for?

If Mitchell goes we won't have any natural wingers at the club, shameful.

Quite right too.

There aren't any effective ones in L2. When did you last see Mitchell do summat that made you think 'he deserves a run in the team' ? In a 442 at this level, you have to have defenders who can get forrad with mixed results, as opposed to wingers who can't defend. We've got Kellett, Barry, Flores, Wiseman, Williams; as well as Reed, Diego, Brewster, Ugwu, Rowley who can all play anywhere across the line.

Time will tell whether the players and manager are good enough, but in my opinion the best strategy is being adopted.

Love your optimism. With eleven such versatile players Caldwell must be an idiot for us to be where we are!

"There aren't any effective ones [wingers] in L2" Are you sure?

We'll find out whether that is true or not of the coming months.

Had to check we hadn't sold Charlie Wakefield to Chelsea; as at 18.00 last night a Charlie Wakefield was signed on loan by Stevenage from Chelsea.

Taking loanees from Shrewsbury effing Town.

All seems a little cosy. Does our scouting Web stretch to none playing Shrewsbury players or do we have some reciprocal arrangement SEB,Nolan to them and in return we get Jules

[JonB]

Surprised they want anything to do with us after we palmed SEB onto them for half a season!!

It would seem any player called Dembele is truly worth having in your team.
I have a cunning plan for recruitment going forward. We only sign players called Dembele. It cant be any worse than the current policy.

Funny you should say that. Was speaking to my mates the other day about how all players called Dembele are sh** hot.

lol very good

[The Black Triangle]

While I have been critical of the club, and Caldwell in particular they have had a decent deadline day. The LB signed (ex Fulham) is on paper a decent signing. Jules should add a bit of pace as well. Diego again on paper at this level should be a decent signing. It will be interesting to see how they line up on Saturday.

Presumably you have seen the you tube video of the now 14yo wonder kid Dembele at Celtic?

Of course. I'm always on the lookout for new promising Dembeles.
