i think he's a good back-up player, but he must be on a decent wage. Yeovil offered him a fresh deal, which he turned down to come to us! if he is one of the bigger earners, it might be the reason why he has'nt moved on yet (no one will want to match his wages, and he wont want to take a pay-cut)

says on his profile he played as a striker for a while before moving to midfield 2008 season: 9 goals in 17(1) apps - good scoring record, especially if from midfield, but do we really need another CM?

Any new faces you didn’t recognize? Did you spot Carl Robinson there at all?

good to see pretty much everyone looking in shape!! who's the guy in the pic between whittaker and greegs? EDIT - think its josh bell?

was doing the rounds on a few other teams message boards earlier, crewe seem to be well happy with the buy...and a few other teams fans are coming up with quotes like...''how can crewe sign quality players like zola'' and ''for a proven target man, 200k is a bargain'' are they real???

i agree, its not the clubs fault..its carlotti who have to be blamed.....it happened last year, there was a faulty batch with the current home shirt when it first came out, i went through 3 shirts before i got one that was satisfactory, and that was after a 3 week wait!

the bid was from carlisle apparently, with scunthorpe joining the chase now they have sold patterson... cheltenham are looking for around 500k for him

I quite like the idea BUT... its gonna sound daft if nobody joins in with the song so there would have to be quite a large percentage in favour, for it to work me thinks

IV just heard its Phillip Mulryne, ex-man utd and Northern Ireland international, bags of championship experience with Norwich, looking for a club after a few bad injuries? Don’t know how reliable this is, maybe Crusoe could enlighten us?

are they not off to poland to sign sweetleftfootovic? or tracking down andy cole to persuade him to sign for us?

erik djemba djemba? linked with leeds + huddersfield this week?

I got the book as a 'get well soon' present whilst recently in hospital, I found it quite a good read although its probably stuff you will already know! The format is a picture of the player on one side of the page and a little write up on the other. The person that bought it me went and picked it up from the m.e.n building/shop in Manchester city centre (near deansgate i think) hope that helps

Bailey is quality, but they paid in region of £175k for him from non-league, and he still has a couple of years left on his existing contract! must be championship bound! big money move!

As mentioned earlier, TTA stated with Taylor it would have to be a ''silly offer'' to be accepted (id imagine same for Eardley), how people believe that 250k is a silly offer, is just...silly! As coco said, 500k (+250k add-ons) for Trotman from only 20odd appearances has got to be the benchmark So TTA sell for in the region of £500k for both Taylor and Eardley, I don’t see how this is a wise business move, helping the finances of the club, when TTA are just going to have to pump in at least that, for replacements that have promotion chasing/championship quality?? I'd love us to keep em both, but as TTA said, every player has a price!

from what i remember, he took a throw in...so yeah he touched it....with his hands!

how about Lee martin IS the player crusoe is on about, correct me if im wrong, but he didnt say he was an ex manure player...just that he's played at old-trafford but mostly in championship,

Anyone noticed he's equally as good with both feet? How many times do we see players getting into good positions but don’t shoot 'cos there on their wrong foot, I think this will prove valuable. I think he looks class from his goals on latics world; he scores tap-ins and 30yard screamers. Yes he's got a lot of stick from Rotherham fans, but don’t forget (as already mentioned) he was the only player to refuse to accept the wage deferral, so he instantly becomes the devil to their fans! You have to think, if he's really that bad, why would two clubs (maybe more?) that are at a higher level, take a serious interest in him? And do you think that shez, knowing that this may well be his last season in charge, would buy crap? Some fans need to take a reality check! Rant over! Well done to everyone at the club for the positive transfer policy this summer!

isnt alves a right-back? i dont think he will buy both him and micah

With the keeper crisis at crewe, and us signing there number one target, a couple of there fans seem sure that crossley's p*$$ed off with us for signing another keeper, and will sign a 1yr deal with them to be number 1

Danny Pugh?? Left winger who can play left back, and an ex-red so fit the bill!! Played a good few games for stoke last season but with them being promoted, he may be available on loan?

theres some good punts there! southend @ 20/1 carlisle @ 16/1 the best bet by far is us @ at 25/1 how can trampmere, udders and walsall be infront of us??? will be interesting to see the top goalscorer odds

I’ll suggest one that’s controversial and not been mentioned.... Luke Beckett - Huddersfield and Bradford agreed a 5 figure fee for him a couple of weeks back, however after discussing terms Stuart McCall said he's agreed to sign for a team in a better position than them, when he returns from holiday (due back this week) Probably nothing in it, but you never know!

my udders mate seems sure he's about to sign for them

Well im going for Leon Clarke because... we were going to sign him in January, we(shez+tta) then found out that Leon needed a knee opp, and weren’t prepared to shell out the money for him, for him then to be out injured! Could possibly be Constantine Midfielder, other than wallwork i can’t think of anyone, but we have been linked with him before, so i dunno

simple really... il go for constantine
