Dont take this the wrong way lads, but this is probably the best sign we are a serious football club again. Clubs with money wanting our players, clubs that arent Shrewsbury (no disrespect). I am quite excited by it all, to be frank.
I dont agree om Gooch going. I dont want to see Roberts go. I would have liked to watch Stewart again. But look, non of them are irreplacable, at all. So what is our incomings looking like? Lets wait and see eh.
Got to wonder on Roberts. I wonder if the club have a plan. This Southampton thing is out of the blue, but my guess it may have come up in the Stewart discussions. Maybe there is a deal to be had, and off the record conversations have set this up. If so we will have someone in mind, and maybe that somebody will be better. Maybe that somebody is currently getting close to fitness by his fireside in Manchester telling Mowbray yes, see you tomorrow. Maybe Rigg is in his ear saying I am your man. I am going to live in hope, not pessimism. Tony was spot on today, the king is dead, long live new ones.
