They have just made their record signing for £500k from Cardiff, i suggest they should be looking at matching that for us to sell him

Loads of talent just way out of form. As Dowie always said get value on the pitch and people like Davies, Trotman and Eardley are all worth money because they have talent and the potential to play at a higher level. Christ think of the potential Davies has at 21 and remember the front partnerships with people like Tipton, Whitehall and Carlo!

We will see how tempted they are by it if he appears tonight or not

Drop JP and give Wolf his chance. I don't actually think he is good enough but Shez does and until he is given a chance (not 10mins from the end when we are lumping it forward) we will never know.

Your right about Smalley i think he is a going to be a good right winger and i think has more potential than Taylor. All these people having a go at him seem to have forgotten his performances against Leeds and Everton.

Sent off for 21's and the ban only counted competitive games. The ban was 5 matches.

Glenn Murrary has signed for Brighton from Dale for £300k. Bit pricey for us should we be looking at Elding at Stockport?

Met one of his mates in November. Apparently he only had the option of Motherwell as no Championship clubs got to the point of having a bid accepted. He doesn't think his injuries will hold up into his 30's and wants all the cash he can get while he is playing. Don't blame him one bit.

sh*t breaths! we always get sh*t breaths!

It does say in the chron that Walsall would only agree the deal if he could play in every game while on loan. Maybe they were testing how much we wanted rid.

A clapped out over-rated former England International doesn't become a World Beater overnight. We have nothing to fear if we can get our over-rated left winger to raise his game and actually do something for a change.

He doesn't become a bad one either. It has always been his brains and his heart rather than footballing talent that prevented Ricketts staying in the top flight. If he had Hughes attitude/heart he would not be in this league.

.....any bets on whats going to happen on saturday.....

The morons at the front of the chaddy end will abuse him for 90mins and he will probably show why he is the best footballer on the park. His attitude is the thing that stinks and stopped him being a great player for us. I am sure he will be 100% up for Saturday unfortunately.

I cannot believe that we have allowed Ricketts to play against us on Saturday! He is bound to have a blinder against us. Not a wise move and i thought it was against the rules of loan moves but i must have been mistaken.

Lets hope Trotters knocks lumps out of him!

For a target man what about Bas Savage from Brighton!!!

Good shout he is free come January and would want less wages then Ricketts is on at the moment i'm sure

Without Porter we could have had a striker on the pitch every game this season, we have created enough chances for scoring, a different striker maybe could have got more.

 

How many has Porter made on his own? and how many are scuffs and lucky touches because the team made the goals???

 

Dont get me wrong i dont want Porter to go but it is worth thinking about.

I think that is rubbish to be fair. Only 3 players have scored more goals in the league in all 4 divisions and i would put money on him playing a damm sight less games.

Would Malongo have scored 20 if he stayed? Would Warne have bagged all the chances Porter has put away? Chris Hall could play 5 full seasons in Man Utds side and not bag 20 goals

surely Porter? we wouldnt be anywhere near the playoffs without his goals!!

I don't hold it against him but i think he won't get it due to him not commiting for next season. 20 goals is a class return for someone who has missed a fair amount of games. People may say most of his goals were down to Warne but you need quality to bag the goals.

Wellens, he is the only player we cannot do without. He makes an average side a good one.

Yeah cos all people who went to Hulme are posh.....
