Can still be loaned to a NL side I believe.

Steve would never take that job. He won’t risk his CTFC legacy. Duff also mentioned. Potential career suicide if he goes there. Neither man would get on with DV. Both are alright for a few ££ so they won’t take the first job that comes Clarke certainly isn’t going there either. The FGR bubble has bu...

Some annoying Berk with a Talksport microphone said it so it must be true….

Never happening. Confirmed by a reliable source (JP) there is no truth in it.

Well this is a bomb shell. Hard to see why he would want to go there unless he's been promised some major £££ in salary and playing budget. If he does leave it's an absolutely crucial role that needs to be filled properly with the right person as the role is essentially running the entire football ...

James Young on commentary was being quite scathing about Norton's lack of quality which I thought was harsh - I thought he played really well.

Oh the irony…

Nothing personal, but Pell is a bang average L2/NL player imo. Shows the odd glimpse of something, but he’s massively overrated here. He’s a good character and that’s carried his football career. It’s no coincidence he moves on after a season or two. Glad we haven’t resigned him, it would of been a ...

We have signed players in the past that have done far worse without so much of a ripple of complaint.

Is it ideal? no. is what he said the worst thing in the world? No

Club felt he was the best candidate. They sought advice from the relevant groups. They’ve accepted it. Time to move on.

1st home game was Burton Albion in the Beezer Homes League. Lost 2-1 and Neil Cutler was in goal.

First away game was the same season at Meadow Park. Won 2-1 I think Christer Warren scored the winner.

Not sure on the year maybe 93/94?

kiaora84

One worry with may is that we convinced him to sign a new deal when others were clearly interested. I've wondered since then maybe we put a release fee in,duff will more than likely know that release fee...... Player, Agent, interested Clubs will all know of any release clause. It’s not confidential.

Wouldn't surprise me if another midfielder came in though...

Time to start scouring the free agent list Jon?

Bonds and Barkers - bring one into the team and loan one out for match fitness

Massively underrated what he does for the team. People forget he’s just turned 20.

Happy with Smith. Good partner for May and We aren’t going to be able to sign a 30 goals a season striker. JP has tweeted a Premier League loanee is expected also. Some of my WBA connections were enquiring about studio flats available to let in a Cheltenham a few days ago. WBA are looking to loan ou...

For me Flinders is the best keeper we have had in the FL.

kiaora84

Tiverton on a short term deal. Surely that’s it for Rhys now. Scotty getting inured was his chance.

kiaora84

Jon Palmers latest article suggests we will go for a keeper that has experience of league football so probbaly worth while looking at league one clubs and 2nd/3rd choice keepers that may want to come and get themselves in the shop window. What about someone like Aaron Chapman who was at Accrington ...

A ‘Nominal fee’ according the Donny press

I'd be surprised if it's Reilly. I mentioned a few weeks back that we were chasing a permanent signing who Duff/Wilcox wanted to score the goals to get us promoted. I've not heard any names though. I have a feeling we will just take him for the rest of his contract like we did with Barnett last yea...

Surely it’s Reilly

I am sure he signed a 2 year deal in the summer

So you are writing him off after less than 90mins in a pre season friendly?

wow.

We need a target man, he’s a target man.

Are all the media people having a day off. The press conferences obviously happened as there are clips to view but not the whole chats. Also our esteemed media man still hasn't told us there is a new loanee at the club 4 hours after he signed. It's the start of the season, don't they know we want t...

How many of those players progressed into WBA first team? Most are discarded before they get there. I would argue Wolves and Villa have the best local youth systems. How many youth team players haven't made the grade in our first team and gone on to play at higher levels? Roofe and Roberts are firs...

kiaora84

West Brom youth set-up isn't the best sadly but I do expect a loanee or two from Burnley given the obvious connections. :lol: ok Robin We will ignore the likes of Kerman Roofe, Tyler Roberts, Isaiah Brown, Rakeem Harper, Jonathan Leko, Kyle Edwards, Yan Dhanda, Noah Smerdon the young that has just ...

Interesting to read the chairman’s relationship with Deon Burton.

Could well see someone like Cheltenham born Jamie Soule coming our way on loan...

kiaora84

as long as he’s over last years injury issue, this is a top, top signing.

Hats off to Duff, no panic signings here.

We have power, pace and potentially a lot of goals.

A bit more creativity in midfield and we could be onto a winner this season....

Hardly surprising considering he’s a die hard forest green fan.

He’s so anti Cheltenham he doesn’t even wear the blue polo with the club badge on, instead wearing just a plain one.

Just seen that, has there been a pic of Brennan?

Yep. Only one who isn’t is Tom Smith so maybe it’s just miscommunication.

No implied someone was definitely missing on the first day so it’s not as if it’s something that happened during the day

I haven’t seen Clements in any of the videos either. Clements was in the first video wearing number 8 on his shorts. Long is in the latest video, only player NOT to be in a video is our most recent signing, Rueben Reid. JP confirmed Reid was there on the first day and there is also a photo of him t...

Guys, just to make absolutely clear what I heard was a rumour, with no credibility whatsoever.

I haven’t seen Clements in any of the videos either.

Whoever it is, I hope they get well soon and I am sure that they have everyone’s full support.

Just saw Long in the latest video

I heard a rumour last week about Long picking something up in Africa. I dismissed at first, but now seems plausible. Didn’t see him any of the training videos released today either.

Whoever it is, I hope it’s nothing too serious and they get well soon

McAlindon trained with us, was told he wouldn’t be offered anything. Went to Chesterfield, was all set to sign until GJ did a u-turn and offered him a 2 year deal..

.the ultimate definition of a ‘panic signing’

I hate to say I told you so..... :lol: it’s irrelevant where they are coming from. An experienced, mobile target mans and a quick skilful striker with lots of potential. Things we were crying out for last year. It’s hardly a backward step on Duku and McAlindon. Lloyd, Addai, Varney, Campbell and Rei...
