F5 Day Chaddy ???

Cant see DP signing another midfielder lol Scholes.. Has to be a striker on loan for the season but will probably be Haining

I hope its a striker

no thanks

Bennett would be a good signing was he the lad on loan for Bury in the playoffs? DP said midfield sorted though

would need a spare 300k for Murray after paying out 50k for Furman thats a no go.. Dickinson on loan would be worth a shout though

will the yellow top now come down in price?????

Danny Galbraith was mentioned last season and would have been a good call winger with pace.. As to Drinkwater meant to be a good prospect but another ball playing midfielder can't see it.. Would like to see Fabian Brandy scored goals for Swansea and Hereford at this level..

Excellent signing striker next DP maybe see a striker and centre half arrive on loan for the season.. Wernt we in touch with Prem clubs a few weeks ago including Arsenal and Chelsea re loans???

Michael Mifsud available on a free from Coventry would be nice

we are one of the clubs in for Dean Brill but then again can we offer him first team football? Jonny Godsmark striker from Newcastle? Nicknamed Speed Deamon they play him as a wideman

LEE HUGHES and Will Haining are two familiar faces on the training ground as Athletic begin the countdown to the new campaign. Hughes (33) has asked Athletic if he can train with them until he gets fixed up with a new club. Hughes, who turned down a lucrative deal at Doncaster in January, was loaned to Blackpool towards the end of the season when he was told by caretaker manager Joe Royle that he did not feature in his plans. Haining is also looking for a club after moving back to England following two seasons playing in the Scottish Premier League for St Mirren. Haining (26) had almost nine years at Boundary Park.

DP likes going to M'Brgh for loans any chance of Jonathan Franks and Nathan Porritt?? Nathan Porritt A HIGHLY-TALENTED forward who can produce moments of world class skill. Porritt signed professional terms with Boro in the 2008/9 season and is one of the most exciting prospects to have come through the Academy. He continues to impress in the Reserves under Martin Scott and also made the bench for the first team during the 2008/09 season. Born in Middlesbrough, he can operate on either wing or as a striker and has done well at England youth level throughout his time at the club. Along with Boro's Jason Steele and Jonathan Franks he took part in the U17 World Cup and he has also been a member of the England U19 set-up. Jonathan Franks JONATHAN FRANKS is a promising attacking midfielder and forward who has represented England at youth level. Born in Stockton, the 18-year-old scholar has impressed at Reserves level and was rewarded with a professional contract in 2009 after a number of impressive performances for both club and country. Franks along with fellow team-mates Porritt and Jason Steele helped England U17 progress to the final of the European Championships and also starred in the U17 World Cup in Korea. Made his first team debut away to West Ham United in the final game of the 2008-09 season.

Agree looks to be a quality signing.. next up a striker to play with Abbott hopefully with pace maybe a season loan unless Lewi or O'Grady can step up

hmmmm make sure he signs before leaving

should find out if we have been successful with the 2nd signing of the weekend after loosing out on one of them.. Hopefully Furman will arrive early this week after agreeing compo with Rangers.. How many did DP want? we have signed Abbott, Gregan, Jacobson, Purdie and Worthington another four including loans?

any news on the other target they were hoping to sign this weekend? Billy Clarke more than likely the lad who agreed terms and passed a medical is the other Furman?

didn't know a Champ club was in for Furman souns like Clarke to me

MEN says DP will find out in the next few days if he has been successful with three signings are these the three deals he had already agreed and due to sign last week when they returned from holiday?!

is this on the official site signings before weekend?!

beyond me unless he has taken a big pay cut as mentioned Nothing wrong with Abbott he will score goals at this level

Maybe Abbott who is to decide his future in the next day or so one player it aint is Franz Burgmeier

when did he say that i thought they were back last week?! deals agreed with agents a week last friday due to complete when they arrived back last week!! players we are in negotiations with are due to arrive back this week.. Thats how I read it may be wrong though so many different story coming out of the club at the mo..

not a chance would walk into most Championship teams

fingers crossed for Billy Clarke but we have been here before
