Our head of recruitment says we're expecting another signing in the next 2 or 3 days, sounds like another good one: 'The player is from a higher division with great calibre and has moved for money in the past'
I thought it was a slight push Devitt joining us, considering he was top assister and with us having only finished 10th, so I doubt he would ever have gone much further down last season's table barring a big financial offer.
Miller would've been a good signing for you, not sure how much game...
To be fair, they're more than a few alright signings. Adams promoted the last three seasons, Devitt top assister last season and we've got the 17 goal striker he set up for most of those.
Some fans might be expecting more disappointment this season but any player with an offer to re-sign would...
Would've been stupid of him to leave unless location had become a problem for him. He wouldn't have had any offers from higher leagues, and in this league I don't think there's many better teams he could be with considering the signings we've made and the fact that he'll likely be our first...
It doesn't say on the official report. I guess it could be a decent signing if he's on a pay as you play deal, I'd say anything more than that would be stupid of Tisdale.
I honestly can't believe he's got himself another league club. Sure, if he can stay fit he'll be good - problem is there is absolutely no chance of him staying fit, he'll either be a sub all the time or he'll play every other game and screw up your defensive consistency. Not sure he's the nicest...
If your players are leaving you for Hartlepool, who over the past few seasons have proven themselves to be capable of little more than a mid-table finish at best, then I suppose Grimsby fans should be really quite worried about what the vision is that they're selling to their players
Yeah, ball-playing in this context only really means 'can pass accurate to within 10 yards and without slipping over as the last man', a criteria which has remained unfulfilled an unforgivable amount of times over the last 3 or 4 years.
That defensive record is very much marred by the first half of the season when we both scored and conceded an obscene amount of goals, so if you're taking the season's record as a whole you have also got to account for how many we scored.
I think if we keep to the tactic which saw us score and...
I think people forget that we have Atkinson who's a pretty good ball playing defender for this level, I'd like to see him given a go alongside Raynes in pre-season. Ellis is good backup but isn't a good enough passer or stopper to warrant a starting place I feel. If we can re-sign Miller then...
Got to feel bad for Morecambe whose best two players we've just nicked for free. Miller will be a good addition to our two bigger strikers Ibehre and Wyke I think, all three would be good for around 15 goals if played the whole season so it just depends who Curle prefers come the start of the...
Don't pretend you wouldn't be pretty pleased if you'd just signed Adams and Devitt, both of whom I look forward to seeing run rings around poor old Mike Edwards. I'm not sure you can really be making claims about us thinking we're too good given that you fully made us look like Barcelona in both...
I've been shocked by how well we've done so far, so much so that I've stuck a tenner on us for promotion. Adams and Devitt are two of the best in the league for their position, Devitt especially is a really exciting signing and one I was assuming would find a League 1 club given how many assists...
Adams and Devitt are great signings on paper. The other three will be as hit and miss as any other League 2 signings, one or two will do well and one or two won't.
Devitt especially has got me excited though, not often we have a player like him and I had a feeling he might go up a league. Nice...
