Sadly got relegated with the better known rivals relegated for financial issues but reprieved on appeal. Their crowd for play off to avoid relegation was 3,500 in an 8k stadium. V Le Mans.

Im going out on a limb here I know but Im guessing someone who has spent the last 15 years making 400 career appearances above the level we are at now mainly in the top 2 divisions and is paid 5 figures a week to do so just might be abit better than Big Sef. I can't guarantee it obviously but Im sticking my neck out here and saying he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could also be over the hill. How many have we seen over the years coming with this pedigree and they are shot !!! oh yeah , and you said limp at the beginning instead of limb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could fit the bill as the experienced older head that we need at centre half. Very experienced at a higher level than us, he’s only 32. Could be a natural replacement for Clarkey. Definitely worth a try I’d say. ️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be an upgrade on Clarke and possibly play to a similar age as he's also the type who pace has never been a big part of his game. Would be an amazing signing but I'm still intrigued to see if playing with two younger, quicker CB's would allow us to play a higher line, be more attacking...

Agree Wheater would be good for us BUT wholly dependant on wages. Suspect way out of our price bracket. I`m intrigued as to who these 2 younger, quicker centre backs are? (Stott certainly ain't quick - although I think he'll develop very well given the chance). Now..... if it was 2 gems like Paul Warhurst (as quick as any player I`ve ever seen) and "you'll never beat" Earl Barrett - I would be in total agreement.

Sparkleking Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 The rumour about Wheater may be total nonsense. But I think he would be a great signing. A leader, a dominant centre half, and not bad at the other end of the pitch from set pieces if I recall. He also seems like a good bloke; I seem to remember he was let go by Bolton a couple of years ago but as he was settled in the area he agreed to come back on a reduced salary. Anyway, we probably won't sign him, but I'd be more than happy if we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
