    It's very hard to see just how we're going to get six or seven decent new players in the short time left. I don't know whether there's any truth in the rumour that Trevor Clarke may be off to Charlton after falling out with JB?

    Don't know about the rumour of Clarke, we'll have to wait and see but I agree with you about it's hard to see that many signings coming in.

    Barton has been in contact with all Prem clubs asking to loan their fringe players and promises he will give them back better than when they arrived, using both Anderson and Taylor as examples. Since then, nothing. Even Newcastle fans are telling Newcastle to send a promising talent to us....

    I've been talking to a Newcastle fan on twitter and he said this Bondswell player is a LB/LWB, very quick at getting forward but knows his defensive duty too! Sounds like could be a good player to replace Clarke if his rumour is true.

    According to Bristol Live Trevor Clarke, Zain Westbrooke and Alex Rodman have been told to find themselves new clubs, Sam Heal and Jamie Egan have been told their immediate futures are away from the club on loan

    How have we got ourselves in this mess where we are 24 hours away from the 2nd game of the season and to quote the manager "we need 8 more signings"? Looks like it will be another long season ahead. Awful planning. Have a listen below...

    Looks like a very youthful bench tomorrow.
    No LB in the squad as Clarke won't be involved again. We had a LB on trial who did well apparently but is wanted byba Prem club for their development team. Barton trying to persuade him to stay with us to get 1st team football. Nothing immediate happening however.

    We’ve signed Lewis Gordon, a 21 year-old left back after his release from Brentford. His ‘welcome ‘ pic was taken at the Pirelli Stadium so I assume he’ll be straight into today’s squad v Burton.

    Bit out of leftfield I realise, but I see that Tom Lockyer has dropped down the defensive pecking order at Luton. Would it be worth seeing if we can get him on loan? We're light in central defence and he's a highly experienced international who'll want to be playing games....

    World cup coming up, he will want to be playing regularly for sure to get a call up. But I think he will want a championship club.

    Good move for both parties - he will be an asset for Vale.

    We have signed Lewis Gibson on loan from Everton for the season.

    22 years old CB.

    Started as a boy at Newcastle aged 10.
    Joined Everton at 17 years old. Yet to feature in the first team squad.
    19/20 season on loan with Barton at Fleetwood playing 9 times.
    20/21 season on loan at Reading playing 13 times.
    21/22 season on load at Sheffield Wednesday playing 5 times. Injury stopped him getting more game time.

    He has taken the vacant number 17 shirt.

    Sounds good from what I've seen and read. Just need to keep him fit.

    That would be great. But I thought that ship had sailed as Barton said Wimbledon were seeking stupid amount of money from us.
