Summerfield will be a Cheltenham Town player and will be training at Seasons on Tuesday next week.

As I mentioned to you on PM RCS it's a name I've heard linked but I will also say I am sceptical!

Based my comment on Gallers' tweet shown above - looks obvious

Gallers has a new Personal Training business starting though so it sort of makes sense that Summers may be doing some work with him if he is a mate......

Not saying he won't come here mind you!

Maybe keep tabs on him. If he has a good season but the gas don't come up he might be one to tap up for next summer.

Chris Errington journalist for the Plymouth herald has tweeted that you're after Neal Trotman

Wonder who will be the first to say he was arrested for no car insurance and failed to turn up to HM court.

JP missed that out in his article (see other thread)

Of course JP will miss it out he doesn't want to risk his info by portraying the club in a negative light. The only time he has ever done that was during the Allen reign and I suspect then people within the club were not sorry to see those articles published.

Finally someone else recognises the agenda the Echo ran which is so often denied.

Not all those stories on MA were done by JP though, certain incidents involving nightclubs were picked up by the Echo news team if I remember correctly.

The story was front page so wouldn't be written by JP however you would imagine he was consulted for the content.

A Bury fan on twitter seems to think we are close to signing Ashley Grimes.

Great another player that couldn't hold down a place in the team last season we seem to be going for everyone else's rejects

makes them cheap

Grimes has another year at Bury so possible a loan or a swop for Taylor!

True he didn't get a look in at Bury under either of their managers which is something to be wary about but he's had a decent strike rate for Rochdale and Lincoln before that. 17 for Lincoln in 2010-11, and 11 for Rochdale in the next two seasons, one of which was in League 1.

Grimes' sat nav is broken when it gets to the Midlands - it just tells him to turn around back to the North!

RCS - Are you saying that MA was unfairly treated and that you wished he stayed longer in the job?

Please not Grimes, he had his chance last year and couldn't get in a poor Bury team.

Grimes is a good player but seems he needs a fresh start with a new manager to get the best out of him. Like pretty much all of our signings sofar.
Grimes has always impressed me when I've seen him play. Hope he signs.

Don't think I want him after what happened last year, that said he may be a replacement for Mohamed who we have not replaced properly.

If Yates goes back in for grimes it will either give Grimes the confidence to bounce back or he will have taken Yatesy for a mug and be frozen out after 10 matches

I wasn't commenting on whether he should have stay longer in the job - his leaving was probably a good thing and should have happened sooner even if we will never for sure how we would have performed had he stayed.

Regardless of whether he needed to be sacked or not I was purely commenting on the Echo, not Allen ir football related issues.

I have made my feelings clear on the Echo reporting (or in at least one instance 'making up') enough times and it would be better for everyone if you didn't engage me in conversation about it. Leave it at that.

I don't get any of the dislike towards him for turning us down for bury.
If I was leaving cheltenham for a job in bury tommorow and then I got offered the same wage (or more) in tewks there's no way I would move my family 120 miles when I simply didn't need to!.

I think it was the way he did it, rather than the move itself. In your example, your boss in Bury would be pretty peeved with you if you turned the other way on the motorway after a successful interview.

Didn't he then slag off Cheltenham once at Bury a la Boulding?

Apart from a 3 yr spell at Millwall, Grimes has played his career in the North, so cant see him coming this way anyway - hes a Northern lad through and through.

No he didn't slag off Cheltenham. He even indicated to Yates that he wished he'd came here instead of joining them.

And it has already been stated, would you uproot your family and move 120 miles away from friends and other family members if you were offered the same/better wages only 20 miles away???
