Not sure why Zouma has been totally disregarded and this lad seems similar option so don’t see the benefit of wasting a squad space on like for like.

I agree, though it seems Keith doesn't like him. Shame.

It would be a resounding yes from me, As we’ve an unproven tier 7 player and a 36 year old, sadly we won’t be anywhere near to signing him. 

What's 36 year old got to do with it though?  We're talking about lasting another 4 months, he's just as sharp and mobile as Madine and without doubt a better goalscorer than he ever was.  And we've got Dodoo and O'Grady, both can score goals at this level if played in the correct position (unlikely I know, but we do have 4 strikers if needed).

Murphy has nearly outscored Gary In the promotion season already

Wouldn't mind a cheeky bid for Grigg if Madine goes there.

Assume you mean loan rather than buy?  But he looked like he was running through treacle when he played at our place, and hasnt done anything this season, looks well passed it.

I've had no choice but to come to the conclusion that johnnyrotten is either Murphy D's dad or at the very least a close relation, never seen anyone on here bend over backwards to praise a player in the same way.

At 36 more prone to injury, can you see Murphy lasting all season without missing games and he can’t defend from the front as he no legs,  Madine brings in other players creates goals can close down defenders and can score goals at this level. It would be no brainer if we had the wherewithal to do the deal.

Bugger! 

Mo Faal, there's only one Mo Faal, there's only one Mo Faal, there's only one Mo faal. (To Blue Moon)

That Mo-ho Fa-hal

He's one of our own.

If we were going all out to bring back an ex striker, I’d take ALF over Madine all day long.

Neither are happening though. Just hope we get a defender in today.

Hoping we get a midfielder in or two for tomorrow's game as well. We would literally have a midfield of Hamilton, James Weir & Darcy since muppets Lowe & Murphy are banned. That doesn't feel with confidence one bit. At least if don't get a CB today Edwards & Zouma have played together

Think it'll only be a defender today. If we're lucky. 

I've yet to see Murphy duck a header because he couldn't be arsed.

Much rather have Murphy at the moment.

I like Madine but we've no use for him now. Murphy bangs them in and we've got Faal as a backup option, not to mention Dodoo and O Grady. End of the day we shouldn't be going back for any former players. Build something new for the new era.

 

At a wage cap of £2k a week we'll be lucky to get any professional footballer.  With those who've gone back to their clubs we are going to struggle to get anything near as good I should imagine, but with decent pep talks before kick offs and half times you never know.    My expectancy is realistic I think, I'm not being negative, just understand the situation and that's what makes a wanderers result, win or draw pleasurable.

£2k a week is pretty much average wage in League Two, isn't it? Gives us a decent pool to aim at.

Unless we’re competing with salford and then we really need the size of the club to outweigh their desire to get paid sad but true 

2k a week is a bloody good screw for a league 2 player when you think about it

Filters down as well - there will be a few Conference players on more than that at Fylde and the likes.

I've not seen Murphy ask to be subbed yet.

Madine can fuck off the big puff.

That's what the guys are currently operating on though. Including those who have gone back, so theoretically, we could get similar ones. Not saying we will, but the possibility is there.

Buckley gone, he's been released

Thank God for that, frees up another place.

I know I'll be in a minority but he did really well as a striker earlier in the season and for that it is a shame he's gone, but then again I suppose we've got reinforcements since then.

Amazing rumour about the reason behind Gary Madine's contract termination doing the rounds! 😂
