There is a bit of unknown re: CBB and personally I remain unconvinced by Vaughan. Industrious - yes, a good defender, I am not sure.

Our preferred formation until end of season may influence this a bit.

Where did you hear this Choirboy?
It's on Twitter now - James Young and Official account

And agree someone like Harrold would be perfect (was he at Rovers when Buckle was there?)
Sadly not Harrold either. We were interested in him earlier in the season, but he is not one of the two striker targets

The name I have heard isn't massively exciting!

Can you give any hints without jeopardising your source Tonga, i.e. how much football they have played and whether they have had any success at this level?

The name I've heard isn't exactly prolific but 6ft2 and has played higher prior to his current club. Has played at WR this season.

and be massively disappointed when the fella gets named....

In that case let's hope it's Aaron Wilbraham from Bristol City but I suspect I am being too optimistic!

Very - he has been injured, that is only reason he has not been playing!

I can't think of any big blokes from other teams. Ryan Taylor, Howe - all probably out our wage structure

Would like to think Rene Howe could be afford and wouldn't be on more than say we are paying Harrison or Richards.

Going back to full back debate, we need two full backs! Otherwise we have to play 5 at back to cover them. Obviously that seriously restricts what can happen further up the pitch. Are we going to get the Torquay guy in defence? Would he be known to PB2?

Why would we take a player from Torquay? Last summer we took Vaughan who was supposed to be one of the best full backs in the conference yet the general consensus has been he's struggled to make the step up.

Was simply asking the question! Had seen guy called Berry was leaving Torquay on Monday for full time contract somewhere.....just wondered if PB2 knew him and if he was better than our current full backs? Agree re Vaughan and CBB has to have safety net of three centre backs!

Two signings start of next week apparently defender and a striker, possiblity of a third also.

Defender and a strong striker would be a great start (hopefully on the back of a Luton win and other results going our way)

Durrell Berry is meant to be the defender, more than capable in League 2. He turned down a contract with Argyle in the summer thinking he could find something better but it didn't work out for him

Robin mate, tell me you are joking, or dreaming, or both. There is more chance of me swimming the channel both ways non stop doing the backstroke than there is of us signing him. :lol: :lol:
