Dele Alli's (kind of) adopted brother apparently. Became part of Hickfords family at 14 when his mum couldn't cope.

Bloody hell we'll basically have enough for an under 21 side

We've signed Harry Hickford, 20, from MK Dons. Looks like another prospect as he's never actually played for MK Dons and was loaned to Torquay (any idea?) and Hemel Hempstead last season. Utility player by the looks of it. So out of the ten players we've signed this summer, I make that five...

Wasn't us .. he never really impressed against us last season.

He had a very close relationship with Coleman who acted as his agent when he signed for us.

That doesn't make sense. Surely being at a full-time club would help make him fitter rather than being at a part-timer?

Sounds exactly like Anthony Barry, only not the last bit because Barry will pull out of virtually all tackles at the last sec, meaning those that were around protecting him have drifted onto other attackers, leaving you massively exposed.

Yeah he always seemed lacking in confidence which is no surprise as he never seems to get a decent run in the team because of either injury or managerial selection preferences. On a side note, look out for the way he holds his arms that make it look like he is carrying an invisible handbag.

Yeah we should all vote - Holman & Almond. But neither were impressive against us (and according to Virgo our CB pair of Racine & Clough are shite). Anyway based on all that I saw including highlights I would have gone for Holman (definitely a star) and Miller.

I think a few more that are under contract will be released before the season starts, or at least by the end of the window.

Yeah but the advice Pennock had been given had actually been based on the two years Holman had spent at Braintree under Devonshire (so the style of football was more direct than under Hill at Woking, so more Pennock type style) added to the fact he was also in good form at Woking but Pennock had...

Seeing Dan Holman there reminded me that Pennock was encouraged (by whom I won't say) to enquire about getting him fom Colchester (was it?) when his loan at Woking ended in January, anyway he asked the Colchester manager what he thought of him (a guy that had played him ... what, twice or...

Yeah that's pretty much right. The problem in Pennock's first full year in charge we were still paying some of Hockadays stupid 3 year deals (a couple of which were as much as twice the single highest paid player now) even when those players had long gone or been scrapped on the loan heap...

Well if we're playing 3-5-2, which is pretty much assured, we've got 7 fit midfielders to fill 5 places plus a 21-year-old prospect, a couple of 18-19-year-olds I'd expect to go out on loan and one out injured until January.

Disagree .. I think we have enough money to justify taking the risk on whether he will turn out to be value. And on balance we decided he was worth it. And yes I accept that not all clubs have that luxury. I also heard from someone at the club last night that only one other club had approached...

Could well do, he's definitely a gamble.

You're like the uncle of a girl I used to know aren't you.
