Anybody heard any more news on him signing for us? I keep reading little bits here and there on the bbc site (606) saying he wants to move south and we are the most likely club interested in him, but nothing concrete has materialised as yet..?

He'd be a great signing for us if we could get him.

lots of rumours about him, but from the times I've seen him I don't really rate him much better than Paynter. He is a solid player but isn't a natural goal-getter, was used as a wide man for barsley and so I don't think he is really much better than what we already have

*expects to be proven wrong now!*

He's scored 17 goals from 57 apps from Barnsley. Not bad for a wide player. Bradbury scored 4 all season.

i had him down as scoring 11 from 73 appearences... i'm not saying he is rubbish, i just don't think he would really add much to our current squad. i would much prefer a mobile PBB and maybe a super-quick youngster for the bench. other than that if we keep freddy then I'm happy with our frontline

I wouldn't be shocked to see Tilly going in for him, seeing as he made a couple of unsuccessful bids in the January window. Especially as he is available on a free now..

Todays back page of the Echo Tilson says he is 100% on the shopping list for the transfer market

Seconded on os now.

Good to see T&B saying we need a Wayne Gray replacement but why didnt they realise this last season? Pretty obvious most of our strikers are one dimensional. Would seem to suggest Paynter wont be coming back.

Also good to see them after a CB who is 6ft 2 plus as I think Barrett and Clarkes relative lack of height has caused us problems.

Thank f***.

T&B do realise why last season went wrong: the lack of a central defender 6'2" or bigger, no Benno in midfield and no striker who could get behind a defence. We were crying out for those things all season.

 

[choggy]

Delighted that they are looking at him, but quite surprised that they've declared their interest to the media. Didn't we lose out on a striker at the last minute to the Cobblers a couple of seasons back by doing this?

They might be using it as a smokescreen, or they may be hoping he gets a lot of phonecalls from old mates who've read the story in the Echo asking if its true he's returning to the area!

 

[Ricey]

Or maybe its to put the media away from the fact we are about to make a huge signing.

 

[Pubey]

maybe they are trying to get benno and gray back!?

 

[shrimpled]

Any ideas who the other 3 of the four may be? I hope we are looking at Akinfenwa.

God no.

Bentley would be welcome but cant see him wanting to sit on the bench for another season.

Wayne Gray, no thanks rather we looked elsewhere.

 

[Pubey]

i was joking!!

Would guess he might be one, Byfield, Morison maybe the others.
