I reckon we are going to make a nice early signing this time around.

Have we……..

Oh you big tease...

JUST SAY THE f*****g LINE!

 

[Bath Yellow]

If it was a reel of Eastwood’s mistakes it would just be people shooting from any distance and, as long as it’s low and near the corner, it’s in.

Hooray, somebody agrees with me, what i have been saying all season. Like to know how many times he has cost us in one goal defeats which would have taken us further up the table. Hope the 30yd v Accrington was the last he has let in. Been great in the past , time to say, thanks very much, but cheerio.

It was interesting to hear the MK Dons owner say last week that their mistake in the summer was signing players too early rather than waiting for better ones to come available.

It’s who you sign rather than when, let’s not fetishise early business

Really hope we sign Luke Amos…I know nothing about him…but good excuse to get my surname printed on my shirt next year! (Sounds as good a reason as some of KR’s choices in previous windows!

* just Googled him, he’s also previously done his ACL - a perfect match for us

To be honest I'm just looking forward to having a manager in place that doesn't treat August and September as part of pre-season.

Oh I totally agree, that sometimes better become available. I just think we might make a good signing to go with the positive early ST sales.

Manning wasn’t really signing players for MK though, Sweeting was, and Manning had to go along with it. All the decent loans the previous season went elsewhere ie Parrott to PNE and their best players were all sold (Darling, Twine), and they never really replaced them in terms of Lge 1 quality.

I think things will be different here.

And have a really mad schedule of matches including 2 in a day ....bizarre

 

[Wandering Yellow]

Can this summer's policy just be "not signing players with a bad injury record"? Every season under KR we seemed to bring it on ourselves with risk taking in the market.

There's got to be some fit, solid pros out there, who want to come and fight for a place. Loan market is important, and maybe a couple of hidden gems in League 2, League 1, and perhaps even in Scotland or Ireland.

Can remember seeing Manning at a St Pats game before signing Darragh Burns, so must have had some input.

Shandon Baptise

Truth is we don’t really know what happened at MK because as much as people can point the finger at Sweeting for how this season went, you could just as easily credit him for the fantastic squad they had the year before. But one thing is for sure, Manning did a super job with what he had in the first year and their demise was their awful recruitment in the summer (that everybody thought was fantastic compared to ours) and having seen them get even worse and sink in to L2 after he left, it certainly suggests he was not the problem, or at least not the biggest one.

He is in charge here so it’s a different set up. I suspect that was part of the attraction to the job. I get the feeling he might do quite well. I don’t think players will feel any desperation from him and it will initially be a pitch of ‘we’re going places, are you in or out’… Until that doesn’t work! I think players will buy in to him, though, so I’m excited to see who the first few names are. With the amount we have to do, I don’t think it’ll be long but there is still 6 weeks to go until contracts expire.

Dejan Tetek the most likely of that list with couple of players like Joao and Moore looking for Championship at least

 

[Big Ron]

Moore was on £25k a week but has only played 20 games in 2 seasons because of injury problems. Not sure he's going to be picking up those wages again!

Think GK Luke Southwood is a possibility

 

[YellowsForLife]

I could see him at Derby to be honest not sure why

 

[YellowsForLife]

Not a bad shout, but I REALLY think a push for Cumming is on

 

[Thomas/Brock/Jones]

Yes , I'd imagine he is first choice but likely Championship suitors interested in him .

And then, along came Karl Robinson...
