The squad 20/21

[TRFC Finland]

GET IN OLLIE !!!! So happy about this

 

[Sparky]

A bit hit and miss at times but overall I’m pleased Ollie is staying. Good technique and gives some continuity from the team that got us out of league 2. Hopefully we can keep Ellis now too

 

[Ian]

Good player for league 2.

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

Hopefully we will now see a few more deals struck in the next few days.

unless a centre half leaves we will not sign ellis.

Let's hope someone does leave then! I appreciate we have too many CB's at the moment but I would try and loan Ray out with a wages contribution so we can sign Ellis or I definitely would accept any reasonable offers for Manny as long as Ellis is definitely onboard if Manny goes.
Banks resigning makes sense - for me he tends to drift out of games too often but at L2 level his overall ability is way up there and as already said Spearing will be the grafter he needs alongside him.
Rumours elsewhere another signing coming in today??

 

[bigmart]

Looks like somebody else arriving soon.

 

[TRFC Finland]

Let's hope so

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

New signing officially announced by Ollie.
No names as yet though.

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

Otis Khan from Mansfield. He was excellent against us a couple of years ago.

 

[bigmart]

A cracking signing, the midfield looks really strong now.

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

Unbelievably good really. Very surprised at the quality of our signings.

 

[Sparky]

Can’t picture him but plenty of league 2 experience with Yeovil and the last 2 seasons with Mansfield although didn’t seem to establish himself with the latter with approx 20 appearances in each of the last 2 seasons. A good age though and hopefully an exciting player to watch

 

[Sparky]

Came through the youth system at Man Utd so must be decent pedigree as these highlights show. Looks good on set pieces

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

He is a goalscoring midfielder as far as I know, a better version of Jennings really.

can play attacking midfielder or out wide.

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

There is a nice balance to the midfield with the defensive graft of Spearing, Banks' passing and creativity, and Khan looking to get forward.

A work colleague who follows Mansfield says Cook is on his way back here. Let's wait and see.....

I think the salary cap may scupper that deal along with our hopes of signing James vaughan.

 

[Rockford's Love Child]

Vaughan would have to take a 400% pay cut to come here, so I can't see that deal happening now.
