They splashed out on Charles though..

And they paid a reported £4m for the other striker who they signed at the same time.

Yes Joe Taylor from Luton plus Dion and two midfielders for around another £2m so they did spend heavily and neither Dion nor Taylor did that much. Let’s hope they don’t next season. Anyway it’s 1sr June now and the windows open so let’s hope we get some early in comers.

Langstaff needed that natural step up to L1 but can’t blame him jumping at chance that high up when you’ve come from non-league. He was thrown in at Millwall as the man behind the striker just to shoehorn him in, not his game at all & was the wrong move for him. Would be worth a little gamble as a second choice alternative to a new big man whilst his stocks dropped.

Sheridan only joined before Christmas iirc 

Pollock I’m sure was one of the early Bosmans at Osasuna and in my head was Jan time

Story with Pollock went something like 

He joined Osasuna in the summer of 96 but couldn't speak or understand a word of Spanish 

So he never knew where he was meant to be or when 

One day he was sat at home, turned on the TV and Osasuna were playing, and he was in the squad 

It was decided all round Spain wasn't for him so we signed him in November

[TrickyTrotter]

Don’t think a Spanish diet suited him.

Thought we might have had at least one move sorted to reveal today but doesn’t look like it.

I've got no idea whether we have or haven't signed anyone but we don't tend to announce signings on a Sunday

Even BWFC employees are allowed Sundays off  😀

And anyway let's concentrate on quality not how early they come in, they can all sign in August for me if they improve us, and don't get injured, we've got used to the fact that a new signing does not necessarily mean improvement. 

[Gravel rash]

Seems to have suited him very well! 🙂

You expect our club to work on the Lord’s Day ?

Outrageous.

[gonzo]

Sharon and her lad wouldn't want it, but would we have Dion back?

 

[Eddie]

No chance. There’s far better out there for us to go after. He was great for us for a time but I think we saw the best of him and that was a while ago now. Plus he’s too small for my recruitment policy

They'd probably prefer the money from the remaining instalments

No. 

Pretty sure he hasn't scored since December for us or Hudds.

Ran about a bit, couldn't run with a ball and lost count of how many open nets / 1 on 1s he missed
