Rumours - just one thread, please !!

Quoted from ska face

Think the jump in quality between Conference north/south and League 2 (especially if we want to be challenging at the top end) is quite notable. Look at Luke Charman - knocking them in left, right & centre at Darlo, sold to Rochdale for a bomb, then scores in only 1 of 19 appearances.

Give him a full pre-season and he will do well for them next season. The lads a class above.

If you're looking at players at this level, then you wanna be looking at the likes of Nick Haughton (as above), Greg Olley at Gateshead who got like 30+ goals/assists last season, Sam Austin at Kidderminster is another very good option at this level.
Louis Lomas at Brackley is a superb young defender, who will be playing at a much better level before long.

Quoted from RonMariner

We tried signing three promising players from the lower leagues under Holloway (Jackson Jnr, Gibson and the other guy who's name I cant remember) and that didn't work out did it.

Problem with this, Holloway had no idea what he was doing. It was clear as soon as Montel Gibson, Luke Spokes and Ira Jackson Jnr got near the team none were good enough. There's real talent at these levels but Hollowhead did not find the right ones

Cheers for that Andy, good insight as always. I've read Lomas is Southend bound.

There's another Tweet today about Fabregas - completely bonkers - where has this come from?

Some very boring bástard who has made it up for a laugh.

It was a joke posted on Twitter as the news broke we were signing a player.

These things then develop a life of their own!

Like I always say a lot of  Twitter is not real life it is a make believe fantasy world.

Cue breaking story "Fabrigas signs for Mariners "

From the same person on another account pretending to be somebody legitimate from Talksport by the look of it. They seem like somebody who makes up rumours because they have nothing better to do, they even say his wife is local to here when she's a model from Lebanon who was living in London when they met in Knightsbridge.

Harvey Cartwright is the only name I’ve heard. Young GY born keeper at hull city.

We have raised the bar in recent weeks.  A World Cup winner might be ok, however, we need to see a record of scoring last minute goals as well.  We don’t signed any Tom,male private and Cesc you know.

Just googled him. He’s a Grimsby lad but signed a long term contract for Hull last month, so they must rate him highly given they’re apparently going to throw silly money around. Guess that’ll be a season long loan then if it comes off, similar sort of signing to Dean Henderson.
