There's some Bolton fans getting excited about signing Josh Windass, but Darren Witcoop thinks Deano's lad has options in the Champo - not least Wrexham.

The second thing that concerns me is her preference to talk about Evatt and almost skirt past Schumacher. I get she wanted to maybe try and restore Evatt a little due to earlier performance, but it felt like she didn't want to talk about Schuey and maybe has some reservations. I get the season end ...

Answering my own earlier question, the other keeper on trial is Tyler Miller. Cheers. 6ft4in Noo Joisey-born 32-yr-old who's spent most of his 200-game career Stateside, bar a brief dip into German lower leagues in 2015 and a recent six-week dalliance with Notts County. I did not have him on my bin...

For clarity - I wept no tears when Markham left. Those last two windows were awful, and his wagon had been hitched to a horse already sent to the knackers' yard. I just think that to turf him out last summer while leaving Evatt intact would have been a huge huge call – and not one, I don't think, w...

Like it or not he’s a far better player than Morley and Sheehan particularly as you move up levels. Harsh/presumptuous on Morley, IMO. I think he's a much better passer than Thomo and I'm intrigued to see how he gets on under Schumacher after a promising season of post-Evatt reset, with Wycombe and...

FWIW on the Buff podcast this week Iles gives it more context and confirms that Sharon does seem to regret not replacing Markham, rather than Evatt, last summer and taken some duties/responsibilities/(and therefore authority) off Evatt. However, as he notes, that would have been a very difficult se...

Although I will say there is a lot going on; it does feel like a cheap option to facilitate other deals. Yeah, it makes perfect sense to me. TSL is so clearly first choice that his backup will hopefully never be needed, so wages thrown at a #2 keeper are basically 'insurance' rather than 'investmen...

As a fan, I would have preferred a much more experienced #2 keeper than a player whose vast majority of appearances are for Mickleover Town. Mickleover *Sports*, as was then (they're now Mickleover FC). Moreover, those apps where when he was 17/18 years old. But he must have something about him for...

Didn't Andrew Tutte play for us when we won the Lancashire Cup Finsl in April? Pedant alert.

Ha yeah you can have him. Probably also Sonny Sharples-Ahmed, Hutch, etc were in the academy. Tutte a slightly different beast as he was at least formerly a first-teamer.

Quiz question: if he goes, who's the longest-serving player left? Johnston? Aye, contractually the joint longest server with one other. And his impending transfer was announced before the other mon's. Sheehan? The only other I can think of from that summer. Correct. Other permanent signings that su...

And/or another player that you can make a profit on in future. I did say a few weeks ago things would have to be run more sustainably. Thus, transfers like these are inevitable. So basically we are skint and are unlikely to reinvest the full Collins & Thomason fee's ? Bit of a leap, Bertie. Sustain...

And/or another player that you can make a profit on in future. I did say a few weeks ago things would have to be run more sustainably. Thus, transfers like these are inevitable. Both fair points. BTW, with Santos and Gethin gone, Thomo is the final link with the fourth-tier squad (unless you count ...

All managers (and sporting directors) have to do some balancing - players in, players out. Pretty much all payments are staged, sometimes over several years - Parky won't hand Schuey a charity-style comically giant cheque. It's never as simple as "we sell Matty Midfielder for £1m, therefore we have ...

The Thomason rumour is certainly gathering momentum on the socials - fee apparently £1M.

I mean, I like him, but that's a figure I'd consider.

Would also be good to not sell to a divisional rival.
