Roberts is class, and would be a good signing for anyone in L1.

Not sure Mellis is an improvement on Tutte and/or Soares. And I'd rather have Nicky Adams than Alessandra.

Thats good to hear as we have signed up Adams.

Roberts wont go to Bury, so that's that.
Mellis is a tosser with an attitude and generally cant be arsed with the game.
Alessandra? Lol.

Mellis and Conrad Logan looking quite likely apparently!

Decent couple of signings there. Why isn't this stuff moved to the transfer rumours thread?

Because this is a Bury fred.

The news that John-Lewis has joined Newport has set me thinking. Who would you rank with him as the all time worst player to wear the famous white shirt ... and over 3 seasons as well! Thankfully King Kev arrived and saw the lump for what he was and he was quickly shown the door.

My top three worst Bury players since I've been watching them (1989)

Anthony Williams
Aidie Mike
David Esdaille

Excluding Williams (goalkeeper), John Lewis looks like Diego Costa in comparison.

Feckin hell. In far too many years of following Dale and keeping a benign weather eye (and calling in on, occasionally) our friends from the lower Roch valley - I'd have to agree with you. Some bloke called Cruikshank who played in the same team wasn't very good, either, but BP was awful.

Tony Williams ... WOW! To think we then brought him back in as a fucking goalkeeper coach!

Phillips and Suzy Worthington at full backs, still makes me shudder.
At least Crucks had "some" value when he was played up front.

FA Cup final. Why the fuck are there people stood at the ground 5 hours before kick off when the pubs round Covent Garden are open?

Bit of a controversial one here...

...David Lee.

Only saw him three or four times (and not against Dale, as the Shakers were a division higher at the time), but in every game I remember, he got a crunching tackle early doors from the full back and promptly "disappeared" for the rest of the game.

Or maybe he had an internal radar which meant he spotted me lurking there and thought "bugger this, he's a Dale fan. I'm not bothering".

He .must presumably have been pretty good on other occasions, but I never saw this!

I love the spin on the club website about him being one of Blackpool's better players this season just gone. Quality journalism. That said willing to give him a chance. Could be the new Sodje.

Happy with Clarke. More of the same please, but maybe a bit younger if possible...

2 years for a 33 year old?

And what goes through Flitcrofts head in these press conferences ... all he needed to say was he will add experience to our young back 4, but instead we get bullshit about dynamics and human qualities.

That Bury shirt was class. Still got mine. Doesn't fit mind you with me being an eight year old at the time.

Some pretty good goals there.

I did say, though, that my occasional trips across the divide to Gigg Lane may not be conclusive evidence... :)

At this point, I should really come more up to date, and mention Big Jesse, the random Rwandan. But I believe he lashed one in from distance against Norwich in the cup. So I'll nominate Ashley Grimes instead (and might get bonus points for spotting Walsall's worst ever in the same post!)

How can you forget Paul Barnes?

Just before my time. When I started watching, he was at Bolton.

It appears Buchanananananon and Adams have both joined NTFC

First manager for the sack?

This FRED seems quite pleasant.
Ra Ra fookin Ra..worst player ever in a Bury shirt? I could seriously write a book on it, never mind a 100,000 view FRED

My gossip includes a player worth almost 1.76 pints..or is that too "crypticless" for the unwashed

Bury have signed Leon Clarke. Bury are also going bust soon.
