    I think he ticks all the boxes. I was doubtful when I first heard the rumour, but I've checked him out on YouTube and he looks more than good enough. Good passer, good defender, good positional awareness, 6ft 2 and gets a few goals as well. I can't find a fault.

    Isn't he a holding midfielder? Any idea what he is like; have you seen him play or just on Football Manager ;-)?

    For all we know some of our deals may already be coming into fruition behind the scenes.

    I had no qualms with you passing it on! Just thought I should comment on the speculation. As the child in me gets excited when linked with players, I did a bit of digging and the rumour cropped up a few days ago on some agent south guy's account which is full of made up rumours. So I assume other twitter accounts used his 'inside information'. Would love to be proved wrong though!

    Trotter was the best player in the live game v West Ham for Millwall, and he took his goal well too. My Millwall friend really rates him, and she's been to a lot of games. I have a feeling with a bit of Adkins tuning that this guy could cut the mustard centre mid. Worth a shot.

    I haven't seen him play, I just know that he plays the same position as his brother and is rated quite highly. Shame about Sporting Lisbon, I thought he might have slipped under the radar.

    You could be right, I saw that 2 day old tweet too, but that south agent is such an obvious fake that surely none of the real ones would fall for it? Hope not anyway, might just be a coincidence that there is some truth in one of his lies!

    Michael Owen's been released by Manchester United. We could do a lot worse, but I reckon we could do a lot better.

    I was just about to write "how long until Michael Owen gets mentioned".

    I'd bring him in to mentor some of the younger lads, and only on a pay as you play deal.

    I can't see it happening though personally.

    Which isn't very good at all and is why we are busy looking for a good right sided midfield player.

    Still not heard you explain why you think Trotter isn't good enough?

    I would quite like Michael Owen actually. Yes, he's injury prone but NA, as a former physio, should be able to manage that. He's a proven goalscorer in the PL.

    a Hasbeen.. Only hungry Young players.. It has worked for Norwich and swansea.. I think he would be more a hindrance than a help. IMO
