....he'd only manage a game or two all season....too injury prone! Besides the night-life in Cheltenham wouldn't be up to his expectations.....

.no....tell his agent to look elsewhere....

Mark Cullen or Max Clayton from Blackpool may be worth a look. Stuart Beavon from Coventry but maybe a bit past it now. Jon Obika from Oxford another worth a look. Paris Cowan-Hall from Wycombe also but a bit similar to Addei/Lloyd in stature.
Looking down the tree Tavon Campbell or Rueben Reid from FGR or Wes Thomas back from Grimsby maybe. Sam Foley and Billy Waters from Northampton.
Overall that list looks bleak and I don't see too many central midfield standout names that are realistic.

Local lad ? Elliott Frear would be useful,out of contract 31/05/2019.GL Rob wrote:Any players from this list you would realistically like to see at Cheltenham next season? http://bit.ly/FreeAgentsList2019" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Both Reuben and Tav would be worth a punt for you I would say. Reid well proven at this level, just need to keep him fit and motivated. Tav very unlucky to get released, was really starting to hit form until Doidge came back, got a lot of potential.Robin wrote:Mark Cullen or Max Clayton from Blackpool may be worth a look.

i see oxford have released jon obika. he looked decent to me when we played them a couple years ago in the league cup.
he's only 28 tall , strong , agile. , he would be a good signing if we could get him.
not sure he will want to move down a league though.

Sam Foley would be an upgrade on any of our existing midfielders, I'm genuinely suprised we've not gone for him. That said I wonder if our permanent target is a midfield enforcer (which Foley isn't) and we then add a loanee to do the box to box leg work.
Foley may not be seen as an enforcer, he can operate across the midfield, and has good passing, dribbling and ball control skills, he also has that Gerrard-style vision to ping a pass across, or up field. Decent work rate, just not a lot of pace.Robin wrote:Sam Foley would be an upgrade on any of our existing midfielders, I'm genuinely suprised we've not gone for him.

So we are targetting one permanent and two loanees according to Jon Palmer. Hopefully the permanent is a first choice central midfielder either box to box or someone who can get there foot on the ball and dictate play. Can anyone identify any remaining free transfers who fit that profile? There can't be too many left at this point so it's likely a small pool.
Midfielder
Tom Adeyemi - Free agent after leaving Ipswich.
Doug Loft - Free agent after leaving Shrewsbury.
James Dunne - Free agent after leaving Swindon (certainly a box to box midfielder)
Sam Foley - Free agent after leaving Northampton.

I would agree with Adeyemi being a L1 target - I believe Rotherham and Bolton are interested in him.Robin wrote:I may be wrong but I thought Loft was more a defensive midfielder but looking at that list Sam Foley must be on our radar given he's local to the area and very likely within our budget unlike Adeyemi who I'd imagine will get a league one club.
As far as I'm aware, Sam isn't on the radar, which is a shame.
I would imagine the likes of Wrexham (location, he lives up near Crewe), and probably Yeovil will be sniffing around him (was loved by the fans in his previous spell there), but obviously he would rather stay in the Football League.
Hopefully he will find a club.
