As long as it wasn't a club record for us - £370,000+

Great interview. This part was a personal highlight: Interviewer: Where do you play? JP: Where the manager wants me to play, it's not for me to tell him.Interviewer: Do you have a preference of where you play? JP: Preferably on the pitch. Seems to have a great attitude. Think we may have found another gem. UTG! He's in for a surprise tomorrow, he's reserve keeper !!

Its good to see another defender join the club . A balanced squad needs 8 defenders minimum. Time will tell how well it works out for club and player but lets hope its good for both. welcome Joe.
The squad probably still needs two more players for this season....maybe a keeper and maybe a central midfielder.
Roberts-defender gone.....now replaced. Colkett- attacking midfielder...to be replaced ? Boateng - box to box midfielder...to be replaced ? Roos-keeper....to be replaced ?

According to a Bournemouth fan I know he always thought of him as a box-to-box midfielder

Really, over 80 appearances in 2 years since he signed for them doesn't exactly strike me as injury prone. Agree - he's hardly missed a game for Eastleigh since he signed for them. Injury as a youngster may have hindered his progress, but he has matured and toughened up by the looks. You're spot on there, he was injury prone at Bournemouth and that definitely hindered his progress but last couple of years seems OK. One of those I think who rolled his sleeves up, buckled down to dropping a few leagues and has come back stronger and more determined. We'll see! UTG!

And we all know how dropping a division or 2 works out. Reckon the fella will work out just fine.

If DC does intend playing him there then at least he should be able to tackle unlike Boateng! Although we need defensive cover the most at present as if Locks or McM pick up a knock or suspension we've got only JC as cover and he's presently playing RB.

Ah but doesn't Partington have to prove himself worthy of a place in the first team like all DC newcomers?
Agree though he sounds good and someone we need as well if he can play CB and MD.

I don't know why but he looks like a cb. Very articulate.

One like Andy Tilson who can go on surging 40 yard runs from his own box will do fine!
Edit - I think we missed a trick not offering Lawrence or Gosling (or both!) in the deal though.

Great signing, would rather be signing players moving up than on their way down looking for a pay day. Hungry players that are performing well in league two and the conference are where we should be looking. Well done DC.
