The 3 permanents are what I was told, the last two haven’t worked out. I believe from my source that we are offering two players plus cash for the Scunthorpe player. Hope and the lad who plays on the wing (Tollitt) apparently. The 5th player will sign this week. Two loan players already done. Happy days… Loans from the EFL. What positions?

Steve_R Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 So it seems that Rooney, Tollitt and Yarney are on their way out. Rooney was our only midfield player who could put his foot on the ball and play a bit, Yarney was the player of the year and Tollit top scorer until Unsworth dropped him. We’ve no idea if the replacements are better but everyone seems happy with it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is bombing up and down the right wing, generally playing crap and you sneak outside for a quick ciggie to boos ringing out from the JR stand, has he given the ball away or has he been clattered into the fancy perimeter fencing? If the latter, does he suffer mild electric shocks? If so, do said shocks improve his passing skills; consequently doubling his chances of being clattered into the fancy perimeter fencing?

But always two ways of looking at it: Rooney is a stroppy/sulky non-team player Yarney's demands are unreasonable Our rate of scoring increased after Tollitt fell out of favour That's football... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly . I’m not saying what I said is right, or that I particularly believe it, it’s just that it might not be as straightforward as people think. I probably prefer our recruitment policy than , say Chesterfield’s, who seem to go for names even though they may be well past their best. We’ll see next season though Hopefully most of the other teams are still as crap and Unsworth has learnt from last season (which he seemed to be doing). More entertaining football wouldn’t go amiss though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More entertaining football wouldn’t go amiss though In addition, Tollit was top scorer in a side that struggled to score and both he and Rooney were front and centre of the less entertaining brand of football. Yarney was an enigma whom I would still like to retain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd actually say Tollitt would be the same as it's a lack of effort and fight that's seen him dropped. Arguably we've replaced all 3 with better already.

sjk2008 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I think Chesterfield will piss the league this season. We’re playing for 2nd and I’m content with that. Not interested in throwing silly money around for the likes of Grigg, though I wouldn’t say no to the odd ambitious, albeit affordable, signing… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't be anywhere near past it at 31; He doesn't seem to have suffered much in the way of injury but his goals per game rate in the last few seasons has fallen off a cliff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Championship football at the likes of Sunderland and Rotherham was a step too high for him as he got older. I'd imagine dropping into the National League with decent players like Colclough around him, he should score plenty. To be fair MKD were a poor outfit last season so most would have striggled there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one forever Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 As a slight aside. Please can we all spread the message that the phrase ‘bring him home’ - for an ex player who since leaving us has had 6 other clubs’ makes you sound like your brother is also your uncle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are already stronger than the team that finished the season and we will be stronger still come August. Chesterfield will be title favourites I'm happy for them to have that tag. But I don't think they will be as formidable as either Wrexham or Notss County this season. As for Grigg as I've said already I will back atleast 1 of our forwards to outscored him.
