Don't think he would drop back down to league 2.

He might do with our ambitions to get into league 1.

Also the rules say 1player named must have been a youth player for x amount of years at a club. Would baptise not technically fulfil this criteria? Personally I hope we stick to the spirit of that rule and give youth a chance. Just wondering.

Any ideas when it'll be announced. Also, let's open a sweepstake on how it's announced.

I think the new signing will be swept up off the beach on the back of jetski filmed by Mark Stevenson's snorkel cam.
You've got to go there and come back, to know where you've been.

he's still with Exeter, not sure if he's still under contract, I think that would be a great signing.

I second that. Though I want him to be announced by riding through Mansfield on a golden chariot pulled by a team of horses with Carolyn astride them!

Well she has got to top the last announcement...,


I quite liked him too - though with Tomlinson and Bishop his chances would probably be limited.

A proper flying right-winger to match CJ on the left would be good.

I would like to see a CM myself. Unsure of what profile of player the CM should be, but I believe a quality CM should be the next addition.

The options are in the middle of the park (if i'm not missing out any other legitimate capable CM's we currently carry): Bishop, Tomlinson, MacDonald & Mellis.

Mellis is obviously a stuck on starter if fit. Bishop is about 56 years old and should not/cannot be expected to play every game of the season like the last although will clearly start if fit. Tomlinson was gash whenever I saw him but I'm happy to take others (not people who don't know what they're on about) advice on him- hopefully he surprises me because I've seen nothing that suggests he's anything above average. MacDonald is in my opinion not good enough to be any more than cover in CM.

Always rated Siriki Dembele and kept an eye on him since he completely rinsed Johnny Hunt when we went to Grimsby on Boxing Day a couple years back. I reckon I could do a job on Johnny Hunt in fairness, but when a player does to a fullback what Dembele did, you just know they are a player.
