Artell's done one...

Hard as it might be to believe, there are a couple of their young players worth poaching.

 

I wanted us to be looking at Wintle and Dale last summer. Plenty of players there last season who’ve made the jump hence why they’re struggling. Kirk, Dale, Wintle, NG and Pickering all in the championship now.

 

Just for a second there, I thought you'd said 'Whittle', now that would've been a good signing right there...

 

I thought we were fishing in bigger better ponds these days, Crewe FFS

 

We are but don’t underestimate the lower leagues. Maguire, Clucas, Robertson…
Plenty of other examples too - Toney, Watkins…

Huddersfield and Luton aren’t in the position they are by signing from better ponds.

 

He'd certainly be able to Ghost past the opposition.

 

Always had a soft spot for Crewe...Nearest ground to a main train station.
Norwich is close..Wrexham from memory isn't that far.

 

Boothferry was nearer.

 

I wonder how often the locals were trying to find their Terry when they heard his name?

 

Being pedantic here. Oxford Road is near to Old Trafford, but not a main railway station. Manchester Picc is fairly close to Eithad stadium but there are nearer. Eg.. St James Pk isn't too far from Newcastle Central.
St. Andrews is walking distance from New Street.

 

Both Man City, Man Utd & Old Trafford (cricket) easily accessible by Metro Link tram service. Much nearer than the train stations.

 

It's a fair hike to Old Trafford from Oxford road station. Old Trafford did have it's own staion behind the south stand very much like Boothferry Park.

 

You're right. Always thought it was close by. Must be getting confused with the former station. I stand corrected. tah.

ps..Never knew there was a Hullard Park in Manchester.

 

What’s wrong with signing a player from Crewe?

 

Depends who's there. Leicester signed Jamie Vardy from Fleetwood.
