well, exactly

just shows its fucking ridiculous not to sign players 'who won't play 40 games'

Trevor Francis played over 600 league games and 50 odd caps.....was hardly ever injured

Mcatee is reportedly having his medical with us and set to join

Just a week late from what I said last week

Cloughs point was that you could be the best player in the world but if your never on the pitch your no good to him . . Probably is relevant today with limited squad numbers

Watch McAtee be the 5pm Friday announcement, send everyone into Saturday fired up

[masi 51]

Just watched a few clips of Desmond first thing that you notice genuine two footed player  plays on the right he crosses with his right....Plays on the left crosses with his left. Very rare to see

In the US sports they have a saying - "your best ability is your availability"

[boltonboris]

Good news to get a couple of signings over the line - Both look like dynamic players, but both obviously on the back of injury disrupted seasons, which is a concern with our record of breaking players

 

Fossey played more games than I thought and Kieran Lee did too, but plenty of others have been rotten with non-impact injuries 

[Wanderlust]

We seem to be assembling a more athletic team than last season and getting a bit of steel in so if we do get injuries at least those who come in won't be brushed aside easily and can run a bit.

[radcliffe white]

Good cover in all areas now

well done Evatt👍

[Marc505]

Saw this on twitter, based on McAtee signing.

Possibly discount Vic if he's off, but that's strength in depth across all positions. And hopefully a team that's up for a scrap at the likes of Wigan and Blackpool.

[Zico]

asked the grimsby lad I know who rates McAtee about Matete

"he was class for us in the dark Ian fucking Hollowords era, he did a lot because he had to. Box to box. Scored a few. Tackled. But everyone around him was utter dog shit. Think he’s more of a deep lyer these days,  tackler but v mobile"

sounds like just what we need

happy with this 

[radcliffe white]

Barnsley fans very complimentary

One said Charles, Collins & him is a frightening attack 

[Big E]

Any exit rumours ?

With Metete to challenge Thomo & maybe Sheehan.

Desmond is confirmed btw. So a contest for JDC (who I rate).
