I knew I should have asked him. If it wasn't him, it was his twin brother!

Crikey he is getting around a bit!

According to a Cambridge fan on their forum, he (Ling) was spotted at a hotel in Waltham Abbey this morning trying to negotiate a deal with Brian Saah ....

Holroyd's just signed for Rotherham, I guess he we were never going to realistically going to be able to get him..

The Herald today suggests we've got an 'about average' budget for League 2, let's get some decent players yeah?

ANYBODY PLEASE! JUST GIVE ME A FOOTBALLER!!
Strangely enough it was Pope Gregory the 9th inviting me for drinks aboard his steam yacht, the saucy sue currently wintering in montego bay with the England cricket team and the Balanese Goddess of plenty.

It's quite frustrating we read today that Oastler has 'agreed to sign a deal'. We've heard this on more than one occasion in the past only for it to go pear shaped. I suppose the club want to keep us up to date about something but it mentions on the OS that other clubs are interested, I really hope we see him and others put pen to paper soon.

Brian Saah would be a quality signing.

Interesting they refer to Oastler as a midfielder!

Still brainwashed from the Buckle era or is this his preferred position?

You're assuming he wants to play Zebs on the right wing and Oastler at right back. Would you also really consider Ray Spear to be ready for first team football? I'd have reservations on Yeoman, Macklin and Palmer. Spear I would not class anywhere near the first team squad yet.

Macklin is clearly a first team squad player but i agree on the others. Yeoman, Plamer, Spear won't be in first team contention next year. Mansell can play RB, Mcphee can play anywhere it seems apart from in goal, Zebroski can play up top or out wide so you may find that a few of those x's are filled by players already here.

I included all the kids originally as without them it really was looking desperate!
