Fair play but the question is who the f**k are we afterhttps://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/...ws/scunthorpe-united-ramp-up-transfer-2382118

How will moving to Scunthorpe be nearer to his home, I thought he lived further north.https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/...ws/scunthorpe-united-ramp-up-transfer-2382118

Eh, Oxford is further south than Scunthorpe so if he lives north of Scunthorpe and Scunthorpe is north of Oxford then he will be moving nearer to home. Am I missing something?How will moving to Scunthorpe be nearer to his home, I thought he lived further north.
Sorry, I worded that badly. If he lives in Bishop Auckland, Scunthorpe is still a lengthy trip home so would not be gaining an awful lot.Eh, Oxford is further south than Scunthorpe so if he lives north of Scunthorpe and Scunthorpe is north of Oxford then he will be moving nearer to home.

Because as I said it’s from the club website. Nothing to do with me.Not sure how you’ve come up with Browne and Spasov as midfielders and Henry as a forward?
LOL was meant to say Smith has goneTo be fair out of the fowards you have listed, Gone is easily the best we have.
Hasn't Mackie spent almost all of his career at a higher level than Taylor? So to suggest that 'He is better than Mackie' in my view is wrong.He created a number of goals Mackie could only dream of while here. Plymouth fans blamed him being injured for them falling at the last hurdle last season as they hurtled towards the playoffs.
Ryan Taylor is a better and more effective footballer than Jamie Mackie. Whether either of them are ultimately good enough is a separate matter, he’s better than Mackie.

I agree. It's a four hour round trip to Scunthorpe and back which he'll presumably be making each day rather than staying down there and heading back once a week like he did with us. It's hardly an improvement on his current position here.
Then again, beggars can't be choosers if you choose to live so far up north.
A bit of a random suggestion. Have you heard something?Dan Butler -Newport LB?
Just one of a few names being banded about by some of our fans at a recent game.A bit of a random suggestion. Have you heard something?
So you’re looking backwards to judge a player who is here in the now. There’s a huge thing on this forum of people doing that. The Jamie Mackie WE have is less effective than the Ryan Taylor we DID have. That’s all I ever said. I even made a point of commenting that neither of them may in reality be good enough any more, regardless. But by your logic Kenny Dalglish must be better than Ivan Toney, if we want to go there.Hasn't Mackie spent almost all of his career at a higher level than Taylor? So to suggest that 'He is better than Mackie' in my view is wrong.
So supporters who are blaming KR for getting in old crocks are suggesting that a constantly injured lower league journeyman player who has started 200 odd league games in the last 12 years and scores at a rate of one in every 7 games or so is really an option?
I would too. I just hope we don’t have the same situation, as with Smith in the summer, where Robinson chases one all through January. His comments about having one lined up but thinking he can get a better deal elsewhere alludes to this and all sounds a bit fuzzy (and to be frank, bullshitty) We need at least one in ASAP.How would people feel if we went for Matty Taylor at Bristol City? Proven goal scorer at this level not doing a lot in championship... I know he messed us around previously but I’d take him in a heartbeat!!!
Just broke into the starting 11, so doubt they would.
