Wayne Andrews?

Just received an email saying my PayPal payments have been cancelled?!

Got down to BP just after 4pm wanting 7 tickets to find out the initial allocation had sold out. Sensing a good away following.

Bury at home for me.

The middle three didn't really gel. Kelly looked unfit, Jones was mediocre, Winchester was tidy but easily dispossessed.

Thought the other Jones at right back was poor. One game, I know, but feel Brown offers more going forward.

Kasunga had one of his worst games in a blue (or high-vis) shirt.

Forte was very bright down the left in the first half but went missing in the second.

Most of their attacks seemed to come down the right and through the middle.

Despite good build up play for our second, JCH was largely ineffective and needs to learn how to play as the lone striker of Johnson is insisting on playing 4-5-1.

Lucky to leave with a point in the end.

Is there an issue with the material stretching around the badge? Ive noticed it on both the Scholes and the Forte pictures. It's almost as if the material can't take the weight of the badge and it's sagging down the shirt.

Look familiar?

Mike Keegan tweeted that there could be two new signings. Hopefully one of them doesn't fall through like last time

It's not Keegan. It's a new fella.

Kirk Millar on trial at Shamrock Rovers.

Charlie MacDonald has signed for Barnet.

Surprised the Rifle Range hasn't been mentioned.

Lets be honest they can call it :censored:hole.com in the media

It's been :censored:hole.com Park for the past decade. Time to wipe our arses.

The internet attracts all types. I find that a good dose of cynicism is probably a good way to approach information provided unless you've identified a particular poster as getting it right more often than not or if the information fits in with other things.

 

Your information matched the way the club sometimes treats players. They will regularly offer a lower value contact to an experienced pro. If I was on the receiving end I'd see it as being "messed about" which matches what Rachubka was quoted as saying. I've seen a text message from Filipe Morais before he moved on that suggested a 50% pay cut was on the table.

 

Some would call it good business. It's probably no different to what players are doing when they get their agents to tart them out to the highest bidder.

 

So when I read your Rachubka post in seemed reasonable. My instinct to this thread was one of scepticism because I don't think Wesolowski should be playing at a lower level. But I think he still has some sort of family connection to Leicester so a move to Shrewsbury gets him a bit closer to that and they are a similarly sized club to us.

 

Leon Clarke on a permanent deal? Doesn't seem to fit. Loan, perhaps, but I can't see us moving into that wage category. Although we somehow managed to get Rooney last season so strange things do happen.

 

If people choose not to believe a post that's their choice. I don't see it as a reason to stop posting similar information in future though. For every poster on here there are ten others reading, many of whom will take things at face value. Carry on sharing what you know - most information is second hand - if some see that as a problem who gives a :censored:?

From Johnson's recent quotes, we're quite happy to let other clubs have first dibs on out of contract players, even if that means losing the likes of Weslowski to 'smaller' clubs like Shrewsbury. Again, risky business.

Saying that, I'm happy with the Mills signing and think he's an able replacement for either Grounds or Montano. Likewise, Rachubka is an asset.

Plenty of time to go before the start of the season.

There were some posters who took your information at face value.

I gathered that. The post was aimed at those who tarnish everyone with the same brush. Not everyone is an attention-seeker but certain posters do their utmost to put people off from sharing what they've heard.

Take this however you want to. I spoke to another Aussie player today who knows I am a latics fan. He brought up weso and said we offered him much lower terms than his expiring contract and asked are we going bad again.

 

I was amazed how much this guy knew about oldham, even that he knew we nearly went under before.

 

Apparently he uses the same agents as weso.

 

Maybe we knew he wasn't going to sign a new contract with us, so we offered him crap just to keep face with the fans.

 

Maybe we were overpaying him previously, and LJ thought the money could be better spent.

 

Maybe weso's agent talks bull:censored: to their other clients.

 

I know how much you guys love these "my best friend's dog heard from a well connected source" stories, so flame away if you must.

In my years of posting, I've never had a club source or contacts connected with the club. In fact, I know Chris Taylor's girlfriend's sister but that's about as close as I've ever got to having a credible club source.

I got slated last week for my Rachubka to Kilmarnock story (brother bumped into him in Manchester Airport) and didn't want to share any more information after he'd signed as certain posters had already branded me a bull:censored:ter.

However, after reading your post, certain things you've mentioned are scarily similar to what I was told about the Rachubka situation.

I understand the dispute and delay in signing (despite briefly being out of the country) was due to the fact he was offered a pay cut to be number one. I presume this was resolved once the club realised other clubs were sniffing, but I'm only guessing.

Bring on phase two of the bull:censored: abuse.

Love a bit of bull :censored:

Because footballers don't change their minds. Ever.

Not for a second suggesting that you are.

Wasn't suggesting that you were suggesting!

It's this sort of information that makes the interwebs dead good. Assuming it's true.

Trust me. My brother and I aren't sad enough to make something like this up.

My brother has just bumped into Rachubka at Manchester Airport. He told him that he's been messed around by the club and will be signing for Kilmarnock.

He is talented, but has one good game in 8.

 

If we sign him, fair enough, but I'd like him to improve.

On this logic, he has 5 good games a season.

Next.

 

Did you know Clarkson was born in Doncaster ?

I had no idea! Brilliant!

pinevillawill i was called a n****r by a donny fan at fa cup last year and he did a runner before stewards could get him so feel sorry he let dcfc club down but glad as i might get to see him again next season lol

It wasn't Jeremy Clarkson was it?

In all seriousness though, disgusting behaviour. Sticks and stones, eh?

Jesus.

 

Lee Clark calls it "the biggest achievement of my career".

At least Dickov can't blame his incompetence on his club's budget this time.

Thank God for that. Thought I was going to get slated.

Thought he was decent at left back on Tuesday but he was brought in as an attacking winger, not a full back - I don't think I've seen him beat his man.

Much prefer a confident Dayton.
