He's far too good for us and I guarantee some of the local league teams will also have a team of scouts who have checked him out and are waiting for January window to start moving some players out and bringing this guy in. We will be bottom of that list as are a very unattractive proposition currently. You will be surprised how many clubs don't use scouts nowadays, its mainly agent recommendations. I believe we are in with a chance if the squad can be vastly reduced. He's also playing several leagues below us and some clubs will be concerned he won't be able adapt. Not something that's even crossed my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a 20yo 6ft 4" Australian centre back from Perth living presently with friends in Manchester and the club have his details. However, there's since been an approach from a respected Scottish club so we will have to see what happens there. The right back is playing in Wales, very highly recommended, but I've not had the chance to see him yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Colclough go to Oldham? A team struggling near the bottom, with poor management and disillusioned fans. When he is loved at our place. Despite the size of the club, the whole ethos seems to be wrong there. The Oldham fans sound pretty deluded there too, and somewhat desperate that they have to try and de-stabilize our club. Any money that Dan Mooney has some regrets about going to Southend, hopefully Ryan and others will learn from that experience. The grass ain't always greener on the other side. Our club is building from strength to strength, why would any player throw that away now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With clubs like Accrington, Forest Green, Fleetwood, Morecambe, Wycombe, Barrow, Harrogate, Burton, Salford and Stevenage established in L1 and L2, why wouldn’t you. They can view themselves as an upwardly mobile club, with cloth cut correctly and the right management on board. We, and most other former football league mainstays can’t.
