Until he shows any sort of consistency.

Spot on. He's worth next to nothing.

It is what it is, like.

I'll continue to refer to them as FC even more due to your aggressive response.

The below is an email from one of the founders of FC sent today: Ben Thanks for coming to the game last night. I enjoyed your company. Hopefully we will learn a lesson for next year about admission prices but that apart I thought we managed the facilities very well: food, real ale, stewarding. I thought the atmosphere was good for preseason with both sets of supporters engaging in banter together - no hassle just good fun. On that note your supporters deserve loads of credit for coming to Broadhurst. I don't think I have ever stood with Latics fans before but I really enjoyed it. When you speak to your fellow fans let them know their attendance was really appreciated by our club. Hope you have a good season. Its difficult to gauge from last night but to me you looked pretty good. Bit more thinking for us to do but hopefully we will get there. Catch up soon Roy

Personally would say we're desperate for a left back. We don't have a natural one at the club.

Spot on.

I'm not sure what he is. Runs a lot without really tackling, creating or scoring. Happy to give him another go in L2 but I'd be delighted if we could secure a fee for him.

Personally don't want Hunt at left back. Really upsets the balance of the team and I don't think he offers enough going forward. How did Andy Taylor do? Fits the bill in that he has a left foot, is experienced and has played the majority of his career a level up.

Baxter off injured.

Mollo has played at some very good clubs and is 28. Doubt it's him?

Sounds like AL's due diligence was particularly diligent. There shouldn't have been any nasty surprises.

Hamer was very impressive at the end of the season and will learn so muchfrom playing alongside Clarke. A real threat from set pieces too and has an excellent throw. Hopefully room for him and George.

I'd go 3-5-2 so we don't get overrun in midfield and still have 2 up top. I don't believe Baxter and Byrne could play in the sake team but if they are to, then thos formation might allow for it.

Hamer ahead of Edmundson in the pecking order at centre half? He would be for me. Like them both though. Expect we'll sell Dummigan and shift Hamer out there.

Based on the Byrne of last season, I would be more than happy for him to move on. However I'm intrigued to see if Frankie can motivate him so we see the talent he has.

Is that 3 off the books now and Duffus off the wage bill for a bit? Be nice for a few more to go and a signing or two!

What do you think?

You are probably one of the people who said that Whittaker was better than Wellens.

Nothing has been announced that he has signed the deal on the table has it?

I'm happy enough with it. I'l be right behind him!

Comfortably the best post on here in a long time.

He still has loads to prove so should stay with us and show he is capable in L2. In terms of talent he probably is top end L1 but that talent has hardly shone through. He only showed he was capable in L1 when on loan. Once he signed permanently and teams worked him out he was useless. I'd take a fee for him, 100k would be amazing but I can't see anyone paying that kind of money.

I honestly don't understand how you have come to this conclusion. He has some talent yes but he's completely unproven and rumoured to be a bad egg in the dressing room..

Alongside Fane in the holding midfielder role.
