Maybe it's an age thing but do not like all these signings of ex City players. Another example of the club moving further away from the one I was born into over 70 years ago. When I see the attitude of players like James Wilson how can the club keep its special identity. I suspect I’m a similar vintage to you cheamgas and I can understand what you’re saying. But when I was much, much younger I can remember some big links between the two clubs. Tony Ford, great guy, signed for us and played a season(?) before his bad injury forced him to retire. Well respected I think. And of course we had Fred Ford as head coach for a season after his sacking from City. Iirc he was appointed manager Summer ‘69 for a month or two before he was poached by Swindon before he’d ever managed us in a game, when we appointed Bill D. Ray Cashley, and a few others swapped to us and I never minded. And of course Trevor Jacobs was an important part of our promotion team if 73/74. I think the events of January ‘17 really turned the relationship toxic for some people and the almost deliberate attempts to derail what was boiling up to be a very good season for us. We never recovered. And last season it appears that in a match or two the attitude of Wilson towards the fans left a bad taste so that never helps. But Chris Martin's been ok hasn’t he? But we don’t want too many of them!! 😉 UTG! |

Sounds good to me. So long as he’s more Chris Martin than James Wilson. If they perform it’s no trouble where they’ve been before.

I appreciate that without his goals we could of gone down but cannot get that enthusiatic about him as a player especially when he goes round headbutting people and getting stupid bans. Got to the stage where as a fan I cannot find many players that I really love. Jed Ward and Luke Thomas being two exceptions. |

Lot of negativity on this post . IMO I see this as a good signing. Forget he played for the sh**e that’s total nonsense. Hunt, Martin good championship players so Moore definitely an asset in my books . Good trio to build around . Stoney UTG If we really want to build next seasons squad around hunt & Martin we are f**ked before we begin. They won’t be able to play much at their age coming into this season |

I believe Moore isn't the only player that's agreed to join. Would expect 3 or 4 signings over the next 2 weeks whenever said players return from holiday

They won’t be able to play much at their age coming into this season Martin played virtually a full season last season even having a pre-season, nonsense to suggest he won't be able to play much given that his game is hardly built on pace. |

Possibly like I say depends when players return from holidays Why do players need to be in the UK, Lewis Gordon just came out with the usual nonsense last week when he signed for Chesterfield, why can't the club just announce who's signed? |

Sorry don’t know the names - just heard in the last couple of days that a couple were close and Moore had already been done. Given the number of players we need to sign this summer it’s not an exciting exclusive as we’d be disappointed if we weren’t close to making signings!! |

Maybe Rovers want to do some flashy video where we unveil all 11 signings at once |

Saint Matthew said "it's all sorted" when asked about signings as he was boarding his flight to Crete on Wednesday. Let's hope we have a squad to battle for top 6. 🏴☠️🤡 |

I’m actually pretty happy with this one. Seems an obvious one. Good age, versatile, at a time in his career where it really is time to step up. Seems a solid signing with little risk tbh.
