Ive just checked and Goode is 6 foot 5. I think we all know a big CB in this league goes a long way. Beevers was an absolute brick wall when we played Peterborough last season and another big CB i remember us struggling against was McFadzean's brother last season when we played Coventry.

Wright has the physical presence for us, but not the height. Flannagan just gets outmuscled when we play a team with a big strong CF so id like to see us sign a big unit to play at the back aswell alongside Doyle.

6 foot 5 is a canny height, lets hope he can play football also, if we are after him I hope we get him

I think a few of us have forgotten how much of a big signing Xhemajli was. Ive just dug out the Bbc article when we signed him and he could potentially cost us a 6 figure sum

obviously we have seen very little of him with which to 'judge' him...but sometimes there are players who just 'look right' and he is one of them.

his stats would back this up but as with any player he is going to need a decent run in the team but he looked a confident and capable player.

The fact he's an international and still very young says quite alot. He's back in full training but getting eased back in slowly. Hopefully we'll see him play for the U23s soon and then slowly come into the first team pictue. That would drop Flannagan down the pecking order aswell.

I think once he's back up to speed, it'll be him and Doyle maybe fighting for one place. Even though Doyle looks a hell of a player, we have to remember that he's only 17 and will probably go through patches when his form won't be as good and he'll need to be taken out of the team for his own good. It could be a really good battle between the 2 of them plus who's to say they couldn't play together if the needs arise

I’ve been out all morning but I’m surprised to have not seen any further paper or media links to Jebbison. Have I missed something?

the only bits I’ve seen are echo saying it’s not agreed as plenty of competition, and Nixon saying it looks like it’s happening (but seems to be guessing)

The fact he was at the game last night looks a solid pointer though don’t it?

I appreciate what he's doing off the pitch, building a team thats capable of getting out of our league is number 1 priority though. The season finished nearly 2 months ago and we have yet to see a cash signing. We still have no fullbacks, replacement for Wyke or any kind of strengh in depth. Mcgeadys obviously not going to play every game this season so we need a player with similar ability out wide aswell. Going into the season so depleted is not an acceptable way to run a club in my opinion

I know it's frustrating bit If the club have a list of players they want to bring in, if these are taking time to sort out , what do you route do you think the the club should go down.
Carry on trying to get the deals done or look at a different option that they can get in now.
The biggest problem we all have is not knowing at what stage any of the talks are at about the players we want to bring in.
I think all we can do is trust the club to get it right, the fact they pulled out of a deal to sign a player when it was so close makes me think there is something else in the pipeline.
Hopefully with a week to go we will look like a different squad next week
