Yes, at Scunny and has been on loan at Donny sine March.

Though regarding Scunthorpe's budget, you have to remember it was only in January 2014 they signed Paddy Madden for an undisclosed but believed to be £300,000 - not a sum I could see CTFC spending anytime soon. In fact, they also paid over £200k for Kevin van Veen, and have spent millions in the transfer market during the last ten years: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scunthor ... erein/2964" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Mainly funded by the c.£6million combined sales for Sharp, Hooper and Paterson I imagine.

I have updated. Donny are recruiting well and should be challenging for top three in my opinion, Carlisle could be an under the radar team for the play offs and with Pompey selling a player for £750k and their support surely they will win the league this time.

Yes, it is. I thought he was relatively good compared to what came next.......

I didn't think Danny had gotten back into the league. Good on him.

When players were interviewed and asked who they thought was technically the best player in the squad, they almost always said Danny.

I've updated and have to say some league two clubs are seeing a lot of movement both inwards and out.

At this point of time I would very suprised if both Porstmouth and Doncaster are not top three (hopefully we can snatch the other spot but we need the loans and 1-2 quality additions in my opinion).

At the other end Yeovil, Newport, Stevenage, Morecambe, Notts County, Crewe, Barnet and Crawley all likely to struggle to stay in the league in my opinion.

Colchester also sign Denny Johnstone for a fee, would have expected him to drop into non-league myself.

Denny Johnstone...we had him when we were getting relegated, right? Recognise the name, but have no recollection of him playing. Like most of that squad.

Yes, that's him he scored for us but in the main looked well below league two standard. He was young but I am surprised he managed to get a league two club, especially for a fee.

You have the following, Robin:
Carlisle In: Reggie Lamb [Carlisle - Free] should be [Mansfield - Free]
Notts County In: Richard Duffy [Notts County - Free] should be [Port Vale - Free]
Plymouth Out: James Bittner [Plymouth - Free] should be [Newport - Free]

A SIX figure fee.

Wow, unless he's improved massively that seems like one of the most bizarre signings of the summer, I can't imagine he would get on our bench let alone be worth a fee.
