Birmingham linked to Jay Stansfield for £12m. This is on top of £12m already spent. 

12 mill ?    Just seen an article for 3 mill but is likely to go on loan to a championship club.

Wrexham , Derby and Plymouth now in for McAtee at Luton. 

[radcliffe white]

Surely a LWB needs to be the priority

At what point do we pursue those other options?

And RWB

And then Paris replacement 

That would do for me 

But without those 3 we look weakened

Aren’t we in same position as last season for wing backs?  And we’ve signed Lolas who could be better than bang average, arfield who’ll surely contribute more than CJ, and Johnstone will be like a new signing, don’t think we’re weakened if everyone fit.

Jones can play the RWB role in some aspects better than Cogley

Yeah fair point and I don't think there's room for him at the back anymore so will consider that one covered 

Two to go for me then

How far is CMG off?

Ashworth and Ogbeta gone leaves us just Williams on the left so Def feels short to me

Wasn't iredale brought in for the left, always puts a shift in

FFS forgot about him too, but him starting there for a long period of time if Williams is injured is very uninspiring

That's putting it mildly.

Considering wing backs are so pivotal to our style of play we haven't half pissed about some average players.

(Not quite Bang level imo )

What was the point in publicly declaring our interest?

Smokescreen 

Can guarantee though that it's not as if those clubs weren't interested or aware of him until Iles went to press

Dunno but he’s gonna be amazing if he’s off for a few months more

I don’t take it as gospel when it’s put out by papers etc I wait until the club announce it that way you don’t get your hopes raised .

Iles suggested on his podcast the club weren't exactly delighted the news got out.

Actually fairly glad for Iles that he ended up on the right side of that Maghoma thing btw, he was getting some proper out of order abuse for that.

Think I read that Evatt and  Edwards are good friends and they speak regularly on the phone, maybe that puts us in with a good chance of signing him.

If Iles let the cat out the bag regarding the McAtee transfer and everyone else has now jumped on board, I think he will now be the last to hear about any new transfer information coming out of the club 

[masi 51]

Walkden/Worsley lad  Do not know if that will hold any sway

Like he gets anything from the club these days anyway, been working on scraps for years

Iles just rehashes BWFC twitter news
