That's true.

Selling a 30 year old goalscorer for 250k and then getting a 33 year old one for free? is shrewd business right.?

paperboy

This is akin to Blackburn Rovers signing Aiden Keena.
Even better news to come with Mattie Taylor to come in on a 2 and a half year deal.
We did get two good seasons out of Reg Varney though I suppose.

Ah thanks.
It was quite cordial this morning so I must catch up with the PM.

Good to see you giving The Nest more of your wisdom.

For anyone wanting some light relief from deadline day drama this might be 18 minutes of amusing dialogue to listen to. I started by thinking that this witness was possibly the most over promoted person on the planet to thinking that maybe she is just in need of help. https://youtu.be/EnhLw5eZ0Sg?si...

JP has just tweeted "Two, possibly three, more to come." So seems like two are all but done deals and the third is being worked on. Russ working on a swap deal with Gloucester City to bring back Danny Wright in exchange for Aiden Keena. 😉 Julian Alsop a free agent at the moment....? ;) Cl...

Lots of people on here mentioning that Charlie Kirk is a free agent at the mo... Most of the players that we get in will be a gamble of sorts anyway - hopefully they can score more than Lloydy's 2 and Keena's 0 during the rest of the season🤔 Yes, a bit risky playing two inexperienced loanees either...

In Santos they have got probably the best central defender in the league and now they have Caleb too, although the former picked up an injury last night.

Motorway service stations starting to fill up with players and their agents waiting for the call telling them whether to head North, South,East or West... or to go back home.

Slightly disappointed, but as has been said a tad fragile ATM.
Offered a contract for next season too at Grimsby so let's hope we're not playing against him next season and that Kinsella is a superior replacement or questions will be asked.

paperboy

Lloyd is going to struggle to play with the level of intensity he's shown for the remainder of the season. We need legs who can press and chase down things down, Keena is a goalscorer and our best finisher but his style does not suit the way we are trying to play. Tbh, I think it's our opponents st...

If anyone lives near to Whaddon Road can they please just tell us when smoke starts coming out of the chimney.

Ellis Harrison can't play for anyone else this season. He played a couple of games for Port Vale before moving to MK. Two other names linked to Robin's clues are Jamie Proctor and Dom Telford - both at Barrow, both played in League 1, both have played for DC before.. We've been linked with Telford ...

paperboy

Let's float Ellis Harrison who has been told his game time at MK Don's will be limited.

Could he be another " I only came here because of Darrell" recruit.

paperboy

Matt Smith was part of our youth system and went to school at Pates Grammar, we've tried to sign him in the past but I highly doubt it's him now because we will be looking for mobility to support our front press. You only have to see how ineffective we become when Keena comes on that any new strike...

Going off topic, Streety caught someone else with his elbow yesterday didn't he.
He needs to address that.

paperboy

When he drops deep and plays magical cross field passes he reminds me of Harry Kane,but when he's in the penalty box he's more like Citizen Kane.

Darrell had him at Port Vale- it didn't end well. He almost single- handedly cost them getting into the play offs.

Seen him a few times- when he's good he's very good, but when he's bad .. oh dear.

A human decision say Swindon.

Because wheels are turning too slowly I believe that in England ALL convictions etc are being quashed and compensation paid out meaning as you say there will be a small percentage of sub postmaster who were in fact guilty getting compensation erroneously.

If indeed SC is confirmed as their manager or head coach it'll be interesting to see if Wade or Aaron Wilbraham ( his assistant at Shrewsbury) become part of his backroom staff. Not sure how joining FGR will tarnish his legacy. The bloke has been out of work for quite a while and is keen to get out ...

BTW.
It amuses me to see that Shrewsbury fans refer to Micky Moore as "the man in the cardigan" or Cardigan Man".

Claiming Goodwin going for pittance when he's our second highest ever sale is quite a stretch, I must admit. Well he was mentioned as being a little like Erling Haaland this week so time will tell if it was a pittance. Seemed good business to me. Sligo fans probably thinking getting 100k for their ...

What’d reckon?

Agree, trouble is where can you find a proven goal scorer for 250k.

It would need to be a 30 year old with no resale value.

I'm salivating just imagining Christian Norton and Charlie Brown firing us to promotion via the play offs.

paperboy

Amari Morgan-Smith scores to help Kiddie come from 0-2 down against promotion chasing Aldershot to win 4-2 to start Phil Brown's first match in charge with a fantastic result in front of 3000 fans at Aggborough.

What price he and Darrell to both produce miracles and save both clubs from the drop?
