Great insight, cheers.  I'm looking forward to seeing White.  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

Depends how much we’ve offered in return. Like a modern day Hamannn. 

 

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 
 

 

21 years old

refreshing rather than journeymen we’ve been used to

He can’t have any of the barrow players was part of the deal when we took evatt.

I know that. But he wasn’t bothered about whether that was a condition or not as he didn’t want them anyway 

Just now, Mr Grey said:

Aye, he could be the new Lewis Buxton 😉

Good to hear evatt wants him to be attacking on the front foot and aggressive👍

finally after years of dross we maybe getting somewhere 
 

Jigsaw coming together nicely

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.

2 year deals too (aside from Doyle) Which gives everyone some reassurance 

never a fan of the 12 months. 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  

 

two internationals... how long has it been since we had two on our books?

Young, Raw Fast.................Just like Gardner if he turns out half as good we could have one hell of a player

Young, gifted & erm....

Bolton. Name of Billy Crellin now on goalkeeper radar. Top kiddie at Fleetwood. Where keeper coach Gilkes came from. Poss loan.

Don’t rate crellin whatsoever, seen him a few times, poor.

Sounds promising but the author does talk about Conor Wilkinson in similar vein.

Spot on Barry. He and we wont be bothered by that condition whatsoever. 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

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.
