Hoddle made two first team appearances towards the end of last season and Monk thinks highly of him.
Monk certainly believes in youth more than Bonner ever did but with the signings of Gary Gardner and Korey Smith in the middle of the park I suspect Hoddle may head out on a league two loan.
What's Maris done?
I liked Maris but he always seemed to get bad injuries with his hip when with us which I think could be down to his odd running style.
I like Gibbons and don’t mind him as a back up as he can play left of right. Solid enough squad player but I wouldn’t want him starting every week. I remember you told us George Williams was shite but he was my POTY in that first season.
Loft I have no clue so I can’t really comment on that one...
Our average squad age last season was 25.9. So far we have moved out players who simply weren't good enough for league one and at times we lacked that experience to see out games we should have drawn/won. Most have moved to league two or lower. The only players who have got bigger moves were...
We’ve signed Korey Smith from Derby.
20+ starts for them last season and good experience with him alongside Gary Gardner.
I’m really liking our business so far this summer.
I’ve been in Dortmund so catching up on here.
Ryan Loft I expect to be a top signing as the same Port Vale fans tried to tell us they had the best goalkeeper in the league, James Wilson was on fire and going to terrorise league one and they should have won a game they lost 7-0 in.
Right, I’m...
