I won't be surprised if BG brings in a fair few ex prem players who are young and hungry to prove their previous employers wrong. He wants this type of player who he can improve and make a big profit on them. He has publicly admitted this. Doing this, along with getting the best out of our own youngsters as well. I think with his contacts too, we may get some gems that the likes of previous managers may have not had a chance in getting. Im expecting an exciting summer. More likely to prove them right and BG will be gone by Christmas.

I can see you're optimistic about our recruitment chances then Hopefully all this nonsense about BG just signing ex Premiership etc players will be unfounded and we'll also get in some experienced players, just 3 or 4 is probably all we need, assuming we keep our best players.

I seem to remember him being mentioned last summer because of the links between GC and Wilder and that didn’t materialise. Probably is a good player but with us having the 4 CHs I think other priorities may prevail. No doubt a good player though. UTG! I think you're probably right, but if at any point in the season we want to switch to a back 3 then we would be struggling for options if we picked up just one injury in that position. Tom Davies for example has suffered injury problems over the past season or two. Of course that’s always the danger, injuries. Just thinking that we go with the 4 CHs we have and use what youth we have or as cj has said, go with youth loans from other larger clubs. Perhaps not the way to go if you’re looking for promotion but if you’re looking to consolidate without wanting to spend too much then it becomes more understandable. Btw, I’m not saying it’s the correct way, just the way it may have to be. I guess at the end of the summer after we’ve recruited we’ll begin to see the direction we’re moving in more clearly. UTG!

Yeah, nonsense to go for up and coming youngsters from Premier League clubs, would much prefer experienced journeymen. Lol.

Antoni Sarcevic let go by Plymouth Argyle after they failed to reach terms. Would be a good replacement for Sercombe. Personally I think Sercombe is a better player so wouldn't be a step up in quality for me. Fair enough Pirate, personally I disagree if you look at his statistics over the last season and a half, been the lynchpin of that Argyle midfield. Just saw that Sunderland released Ethan Robson. Garners type of signing, impressed on loan at Grimsby and room to develop at 23. Thoughts?

Bristol is closer, but I expect he will sign for a Northern club, Salford are heavily linked.

Ethan Robson: gaschat.co.uk/post/589010I like Robson, but there are others I would target ahead of him. Duncan Watmore is also a player Iike, but has been very unfortunate with injuries. He's one I actually sent an email about to someone at Rovers when he was impressing with Altrincham in non-league after he was released by Man Utd as a youngster.

Sorry if I am wrong when I say this Topper, I don't think anyone is suggesting we are only going to sign ex Prem players. Well I certainly ain't saying that and I haven't seen anyone else suggest that either. Of course we will sign some players who are experienced and hopefully they will be leaders too. Im just saying the types of youngsters we will sign I feel will come from higher up the football pyramid.

How can a player rejected by a Premiership club be up and coming, surely he's down and falling until he proves he can actually make it as a pro-footballer at his new club? I doubt there's one L1 team just playing youngsters, even the likes of Posh and Oxford have a good, mix plus they have experienced manager's.

Just because a player has been released by a Prem club, doesn't mean he can't be classed as 'up and coming' for this level. Obviously. We have a good mix already with the experienced likes of Anssi, Ogogo, Upson, JCH, Clarke, Little, Rodman etc

What about Alfie Jones? he was highly rated in the Saints Academy couple of years ago and he keeps getting loaned out to random league 1 sides, we could be one of them. He is from Bristol but have no clue if he is a sh** head or not

Pirate just seems obsessed with us signing yet more U23's, even though it's hard to recall when we signed one and turned him into a regular 1st team player. Mensah being a perfect example of the flops we've signed.

Former gas players who I wouldn't mind seeing back again.. Matt macey Cian Bolger Tom parkes Jamie Turley Jordan Tillson Donovan wilson Alefe santos Matty taylor Pie in the sky : Scott sinclair Christian Doidge Alefe Santos is not good enough, released by Yeovil and found his level in the National League. I liked Tom Parkes but I don't think we need a CB

"Yeah, nonsense to go for up and coming youngsters from Premier League clubs, would much prefer experienced journeymen. Lol." And??? I've highlighted a player that is 24, one that is 25 and three that are 26 that would potentially do a good job for us, along with the ones that are younger. As I also intimated previously, age isn't really an issue for me, but rather whether the player can improve us or not. Not difficult to understand.
