I always forget, which Gary Roberts is/was the pisshead?

The ex Vale one who ended up in Malta breifley. Mega talented and Premier League potential but a complete wasted career. We sacked him IIRC for turning up to training pissed a couple of times.

Gary Roberts would be a good luxury signing for someone up around the promotion spots. He has an unbelievable eye for a clever pass and knows where to be. Whatever little pace he had though is probably gone, and he'll do even less chasing back now than he did before I'd have thought. He'd be a great 'key' for a team that enjoys a lot of possession though. Such a clever and skillful player and has a good winning attitude.

Yeah he signed for Mansfield and was clearly incredibly talented, think we got a good season out of him before he did something stupid.

From the same source that told me about Hawkridge and Alessandra is that our new signing tomorrow is CB Alex Lacovitti from forest on initial 6 month loan

Came to us with a decent reputation from the Forest fans last season but didn't impress much. We were utter shite though at the time.

Along with Gunning and Tonge it appears another new face and one from last season are set to sign this week. Judging by who the one supposedly ITK it may be Eagles which if it is and did happen would make me very happy indeed.

Apologies if I'm being a bit slow on this one, but I see Forest are going to be making an improved bid of £1.8m for James Justin.

Wow.

Also reported by Pete O'Rourke, who generally gets Notts related stuff spot on. Don't really know anything about him.

Looks like we're going to make an offer to Gibraltar trialist Liam Walker as well.

Harry Isted will sign for Luton tomorrow to become our third choice goalkeeper, after a short trial after being released by Stoke City

Walker is probably the early morning medical Hardy has referred to

His name is Iacovitti spelt with a capital i

And he was on £2.5k a week at Forest.

Nothing special, just a solid left footed defender.

He was seen on most weekdays outside of the bookies in Mansfield with a fag on, inbetween going in and blowing his wages on the nags.
Was always pissed up too.

Apparently we may have to sell players if we're to bring anyone else in, and there has been interest from other League 2 clubs in two of our senior pros.

My guess is Mark Ellis to FGR and possibly Nicky Adams, though I doubt we'd sell him I can imagine some club (probably Mansfield) wanting him.

So worrying considering we've only got 18 senior players to begin with. Surely it'll be Ellis and a midfielder, hopefully replaced by a decent forward and defender, though most likely a few young trialists.

We were after another midfielder and a striker a couple of weeks ago but it seemed to go quite on the midfielder front.

Who are Mansfield best players? and do you have any good strikers after letting Green go?

Angol (untried but young), Rose (steady but won't get us 20 goals), Spencer (target man), Sterling-James (unknown from Solihull) no idea where this "big name" striker is coming from at this stage but we need something different.

Mellis and Digby been getting decent write ups pre season and Angol has a couple of goals but still no clue on what the starting 11 will be.

Is it just me or are a lot of squads way too small? Considering there is no loan market outside the windows this season? I feel like this is gonna come round and bite a few teams on the arse. It's a fairly major change in the way most teams approach the transfer market, however it doesn't seem like many sides are building bigger squads than usual.

It's cos us lower league clubs have no money compared to the £50million for a player cash waving Premier league clubs.

Fucking greedy kunts.

Evans said earlier in pre-season that he wanted Roberts but we couldn't get anywhere near the wages he is on at Pompey so never a viable consideration.

If his demands are reasonable I can't see why we wouldn't be in for him.

Given the service I think Angol will be around 20 goals. Rose and Sterling-James should be good for 20 between them. I'd be worried going with those 3 though as if Angol gets injured then we are fucked. Spencer isn't a goalscorer.

I imagine now that we've let slip that we're brassic, Mansfield scouts will start circling in the skies above Brunton Park. I say Ellis and Adams because this is two players that have been enquired about despite us not expressing any willingness to sell anyone, not necessarily the players Curle has in mind to sell, though I think he might sell Ellis if it was a choice between keeping him and signing a decent striker. Maybe if he was willing to sell a midfielder then it might be Joyce, with Etuhu and Jones becoming the regular centre-pairing (which could happen in any case) though he may also sell Tom Miller.

The News and Star have printed Curle's comments that we may need to ship players out alongside reports that enquiries have been received for two players, but they aren't necessarily related, Curle doesn't mention the enquiries or even specifically say 'two players' shipped out, and while it would be no surprise if Ellis was one of the two enquired about, or if Curle had been thinking about selling him; Curle may also be referring to just sending players out on loan to free up a few quid.

This is the second consecutive season we've had a squad-size issue and it bit us on the arse hard last season, but I don't think it's by choice, I predicted that the new loan rules would put bog-standard journeymen and squad also-rans in a position of power in contract negotiations that they didn't previously have, forcing clubs to take bigger gambles on paying over-inflated salaries for players who might never actually play but could suddenly become essential during an injury crisis, or sticking with a small squad on a sustainable salary and hoping there is no injury crisis.

I would expect a lot of clubs to dip into the loan market in August when the bigger clubs pre-season tours come to an end. That's what usually happens anyway...

I've seen a picture of the guy we've signed and still have no idea who it is. Always a good sign that I'm either out of touch these days or it's an underwhelming signing. Out of pure spite and ego I hope it's the latter.
