Wesolowski all over again...

The money to pay for them?

They haven't officially disclosed the fee - big clubs rarely do. It's just that there's far more public appeal in a transfer at that level, so it's in the interests of journalists/media outlets to find out (through 'leaks', 'inside sources' etc.) and report a figure. In our case, nobody really cares enough about our transfers to find out more details than the club's willing to provide.

He has. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36444555

He's not here... http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/team/staff-profiles/ But then again, Sheridan and White both are, so perhaps take it with a pinch of salt.

I want to play for Latics, honest!

Holloway's 23...

Where are people getting this info from?

Croft could definitely do with an exercise extension...

Can't pass, can't finish, dreadful touch, poor attitude, brainless AND a big earner. He is quick though. And direct. But then again, so is a gazelle. I'd get rid.

By Poleon's standards, it's a decent effort.

2/1 favourite with SkyBet now...

He's expensive, injury-prone, and he's only scored 4 in his last 39 appearances. BUT he was terrific for the first half of last season, and on his day looks a real threat. Tough one. A pay-as-you-play deal would probably be most sensible... so I'm eagerly awaiting news of him signing a bumper new five-year deal.

Great result, which also drags Shrewbury back into it, happily. They play 5 of the top six in their next six games, with their other against Sheffield United...

This is the worst April Fool I've ever heard. It's not even April, yet. ...wait. It's true?!

Any suggestion that we'd be doing better with Murphy in the team at the minute than either Main or Holloway is silly, in my humble opinion.

...on the basis of 31 minutes of action?

Perhaps. We can agree to disagree!

Still not sure I agree. He's expecting a cross towards the men arriving into the box. So when the ball is whipped in, he's on his toes, and immediately moves towards where he's expecting the ball to end up in an attempt to claim it. He then has to backtrack rapidly when it becomes apparent that the ball's looping unexpectedly in a different direction, and almost manages to tip it over the bar. I'd say it's more luck on the part of the attacker than a mistake by him. (I'd also question why James Wilson's stood static on the edge of the six yard box instead of tracking his man in case of a rebound...)

Make that 2! I think if he manages to tip that over the bar it goes down as a good piece of instinctive goalkeeping. There's no way he should be expected to anticipate that ball coming in like it does - it's quite clearly meant to be a cross. Just a bit unlucky.

Ryan Jennings...?

Indeed. In 2013/14, he was 5th top scorer in the Eredivisie, behind Finnbogason (now at Real Sociedad), Pellè (now at Southampton), Jóhannsson (now at Werder Bremen) and Tadić (now also at Southampton). All this, despite playing for a team that was ultimately relegated, with 30 points from 34 games. Maybe he had something after all...!

If only some bright spark could invent a pitch that isn't so heavily reliant on the weather conditions... out of something like, I dunno, plastic?
