Monkeh Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 While the chances of us signing messi are slim we have to be realistic about the quality of player we are able to sign so in that context whose to say he wont be our messi or scholes? oh there is nothing stopping them being extremely good, maybe I'm being cynical but they way we over hype players is stupid I remember us doing it with dinning and darran dunning both turned out to be less then good, fingers crossed eh?

Monkeh Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 From SkySports We're hearing reports that Bristol City are lining up a move for Cheltenham Town midfielder Marlon Pack after Liam Kelly suffered a serious injury. Sky sports are picking that up from the Bristol Evening Post they aren't very good on their lower league coverage, BBC is a btter source....welll Ali durdin is, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcofisher Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Player of the year 2 season in a row in L2 last two seasons, only 100,000 fee we'd have to pay, is already South West, on initial views there is nothing wrong with this move, obviously we will see on the pitch, but if SOD thinks he can fit this player in his ethos don't see how people can be criticising this move already!

Lew-T Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I think there's nothing in this personally. Just speculation from the EP who got the info from this forum! Also after listening to SOD's interview, I didn't get the feeling he wants to replace Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent Pepper Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I'm not convinced the Post have any clue and are just speculating. I hope I'm wrong but I got the impression from SO'Ds interview that he wouldn't be looking to replace Kelly from outside the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciderstreet Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Do we really need him? Unless Elliott and Pearson are going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZoneJim Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Both are injured and Pearson's sounds long term. As for Marv we've not seen anything of him since he got back from international duty so doesn't seem like he's ready to feature any time soon either which leaves us with Wynter, Kilkenny and Reid. I definitely think we will see someone coming in whether that's Pack or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evander SnowyField Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Ali Durden is the south west transfer messiah. I await 'the tweet' He's been spot on this summer so far, then we can have some credibility. The post have to regain that credibility. What is this 'trusted source' sticker about?

Evander SnowyField Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Now just awaiting the first football manager style mock team sheet trying to fit marlon pack and a new fleet footed striker into the team that beat Reading on Wednesday. The good thing is we now have decent options, for the first time in a long time! Have no idea what sort of midfield we are going to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_Jim Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Watched him play for Cheltenham at Wimbledon last year. He scored and played well, good passing and composure on the ball. My Chelt supporting mate rates him highly and thinks he could play in the Championship, so I'm feeling pretty positive about this. Fingers crossed it all goes through.

eric04 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I think he means over the summer, but he's now linked up with us. I suspect Cheltenham's manager didn't want him training with them when he wasn't going to be part of their squad this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 A deal has been in place for two weeks but we needed to move someone off of the wage bill for it to go through. For some time it looked like Albert would be on his way (he still may be) but now Davies has gone I expect him signed very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendip City Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Sounds like he's likely to sign. I still wouldn't be surprised to see Martin Woods back with us - don't think he's signed anywhere else yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Am A Cider Drinker Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Have seen him play many times, go to Cheltenham a few games a season when city are away, of course, and he is always composed on the ball and seems to have time and with the movement in preseason, that seems to be getting better and better, he could be a very good signing, like I have said before though I feel sorry for bobby reid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 According to Wiki... style of play... 'is known for his high technical ability, often pulling the strings from a deep lying central position' Never seen the lad play tbh, but have never heard anything negative about him. Hopefully he'll shine and be a good squad player. We look to be creating some nice midfield options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
