I reckon come middle of August if he hasn't sorted out a club and we haven't got a decent striker a deal would be done. I'd be glad to have him back - he's a good player and frankly I'm getting a bit desperate that we haven't netted a decent forward yet (although I still think Hannah could be our 20 goal a season man anyway.

I would still take him as one of our 2 strikers if he didn't take up a huge amount of the budget.

I'd be well pleased if he signed. Can't see it though and that 'story' is completely pointless.

Quoted from Southernboy
What's wrong with working from Malaysia? Phones work


I really meant to indicate some random bloke in Malaysia who knows nothing about the club but is paid peanuts to trawl the web for 'stories' to put into print. That said, even an avid Town fan or capable journalist would struggle to get inside knowledge living thousands of miles away from the club. The idea of local journalism is that they have personal sources in town and within the club so seeing rumours on the Fishy regurgitated in print doesn't exactly inspire.

Total none story and the same Connell debates yet again.

On one side you have people who wouldn't have perhaps the best striker we've had at this level back, a man who has since won promotion to League 1 twice on the basis of 'intercourse him'. Then you have the people who do want him back on the basis of what he can actually do on a football pitch.

I remember when people said similar of Russell Slade coming back, that one also worked out pretty well. If a person coming back will do a job and make the fortunes of this club potentially better, then they're welcome anytime. Give me a bit of skill and career ambition over a 'trier and a good bloke' any day of the week.

Completely different. Slade's record between first leaving GTFC and potentially returning was impressive (led Yeovil to very decent finishing positions, won League One manager of the year in 2007 and saved Brighton from almost certain relegation). Connell has struggled to hold down a place in the starting 11 at his last 3 clubs and scored a fantastic 0 goals in 29 apperances last season. He's no longer the player we had 4 years ago.

The way Paul was choosing his wording means,

Yes we will have Alan back here no problem,

IF we can not find anybody else and he plays for half the money he demands.
