gonzo Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 What kind of absolute mushroom takes the trouble of editing some league 2 players wiki profile to put bolton in it, just for some kind of a laugh? What a waste of time and energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange one with Rooney that he seems happy to stay in the conference, it sounds like he could have had a more sparkling career. As you know, the official reason given for Rooney leaving Barrow was that he didn't want to play at EFL level. However it could have been that Barrow wouldn't match Stockport's wages for a 29 year old or that Barrow wouldn't give him a 3 year contract at that age. Obviously only speculation and I know nothing more than anybody else but some Barrow fans seem to think he may have moved to Stockport so that you can get him on loan from them or could sign him when your transfer embargo is over which I'm guessing would be earlier than the 2 year agreement with Barrow not to sign any of their contracted players. I suppose the main reason for that speculation is that Evatt and Rooney have the same agent but, as I said earlier, Stockport seem to have rich owners now and are going to make a bit effort for promotion this season. As for White, I read today that Evatt has described him as doing a bit of everything and I would agree with that. He gets around the pitch well, keeps possession well, keeps his position well and is a decent tackler. Unlike Rooney, he doesn't hit many long passes but doesn't give the ball away. I don't think he will score too many goals but a good allround midfield player. I'll be interested to see how he gets on at a higher level.

I doubt Stockport agree to sign players and loan /sell them to us so we can get out of a contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrycowdrill Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 A fit for purpose wing back Rather than shoe horning someone in 👍🏼 said it before and I’ll say it again, Evatt doesn’t want any of the barrow lot. He doesn’t need them. He’s clearly had his eye on certain players that probably would’ve been out of reach there. They aren’t here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulhanley Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 He sounds like a hungry young footballer with a career to forge. The type of signing we've rarely made. The other thing (as others have noted) is that there's a system in mind and we are signing players to fit it. No square pegs in round holes. I'm liking the rationale and the way we are cutting our cloth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows uncertainty on the player from the club, feels like the player is just desperate to be earning money and is a yearly transfer merry go round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a sop to Barrow and a tbf a re assurance to them he wouldn't dismantle their team Hes had the whole league to look at, talent from lots of teams thats caught his eye FV have a plan and looking good so far. Hopefully other fans who still think we are the same club on and off the field will get a shock sometime soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
