New Signing??

jiffy bag · 24-07-2008, 08:36

I hear that James Smith will sign for us.He was with Stockport last year and played in their play off victories.
He is a very strong and mobile fullback. He will be a decent signing I think.

Would be a very good addition to the Squad

The need for a striker is very much top of my list, the danger being the longer we don't sign anyone the more worrying it becomes in the quest for goals next season

One player that I have heard very good reports about is Ashley Stott at Bangor City

Jimmy Bell reveals new signing as Jimmy Ryan in today's LT. A midfielder, he's ex Liverpool (where else ?) and Shrewsbury

He's the player I mentioned a couple of weeks ago. He's been on trial for a while, but it didn't look promising as we were 'overloaded' in that area.

Shrewsbury supporting mate of mine really rates Ryan, but I'm not sure what that's worth.

Isn't this the sort of things what gets all your backs up about communicating with the fans. Why have they told the Telegraph and not put it on the fishy site ? Or is it that the telegraph can basically print what they want, be it rumour or fact ?

I gave up on the 'official' site ages ago. It's a joke.

It was in Bell's weekly column that he does for the paper. Presumably he wanted to announce it to give his column some cred.

It would appear NOT.

Lets think about this, Twiss 4 Stanley, er no thanks.

I saw it on the Sky Sports ticker then it disappeared, maybe his wage demands where too high?

maccawozzagod · 24-07-2008, 16:52

he wanted his hair coiffeur paying as well as his own wages. Allegedly he also wanted his site fee's paying for his caravan but Whinney Hill was full

To be fair to them that's what most clubs do, they wait until it's official, more than can be said for the newspapers. This isn't the first time in recent weeks where the JB column has been the subject of 'contentious' information. Perhaps he needs to look at whether this column is doing him any favours ?
