    Tweets from James Mcnamara......


    * Been down the presser. . .DC says in talks with three players and would hope to have deals wrapped up by Monday morning.

    * Looking at an out-an-out winger on loan for three months and striker on a permanent deal. Also a central defender (Turley I would presume).

    * DC confirms Kieran Preston will be back-up for Mildy. Higgins is NOT training while DC continues to ponder whether to offer a deal or not.

    * Pierce Mitchell is also still training with the squad.


    I guess this will be on the OS soon!

    Yep we have wasted enough money on big players (in their little minds), law suits without any outcome and no end of wanna be Managers so pay the joker (EH) off and bring this chapter to a close.

    Time for farting about has run out, if they don't fit in then they can F6ck Off even if it costs the Club short term.

    the fact EH is playing in the rovers XI with the 1st/2nd year scholars and 1st year pro's shows he hasnt done enough to convince DC that he is worth keeping!

    More on Clarkes morning press conference now on the OS....

    Darrell Clarke today confirmed that he has made offers to a couple of players, and has not ruled out a new face before tomorrow night’s game against Coventry at the Memorial Stadium. However, nothing is definite, and the manager will remain patient, to make sure he gets the sort of players he is looking for. Clarke said:

    "I have put offers in over the last couple of days for a 3 month loan for a winger, and I have put in an offer for a permanent striker, and I am also in talks with another defender. I am in talks with Jamie Turley, so we will wait and see how that develops. We could possibly see a new face before the Coventry game, we are waiting on one or two decisions. Nothing is a certainty in this game. If I could get two out of the three sorted by Monday morning, I would be very happy. I have a good solid 16 players at the club at the moment and I have four first year pros learning the trade and developing. If I can add another two or three I will be delighted. I don’t want to work off too big a squad this season, I can actively look to strengthen the team all the way through the season. If players aren’t performing I will be looking to change things. I have been working hard throughout the summer to get 18/19 players that are well balanced to fit into two of three formations, and that is why I have been a little bit frustrated with the targets I have missed, because one or two of them would have fitted in to it. And that is why I am being a little bit patient and why I am making sure I get the right to fulfil the right balance.”

    I wonder if he's gone back to Halifax with an offer for a striker now they have banked some cash? I think the Shayman signed another striker recently...
