Who will he Buy? Part Two

The Facts
Very versatile player who can play in central defence, midfield or attack if called upon, but is best known as a centre half. Just released by Derby County, Evatt, who is 21, made 22 appearances for the Rams with 18 of them coming last season. He had a loan spell with Northampton at the start of the 2001/02 season.

The Facts
Very experienced centre half who has played his trade at Charlton, Barnsley, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, and more recently, Portsmouth, who released him last week. A tall defender who at the age of 33 has his best years behind him and suffered lots of injury problems last season, however, if Santos does leave, he could be the kind of defender Groves is looking for.

The Facts
Striker who Alan Buckley was reportedly interested in a few seasons back, but opted to sign Bradley Allen. Just released by Oldham, the Canadian international has played for Plymouth and Northampton – so knows the lower leagues well. He scored just 5 goals for the Latics last season and despite some impressive performances was released after the Boundary Park team’s failure to win in the second division play-offs.

The Facts
23-year-old forward who has been given a free transfer by Tranmere Rovers. A pacy, skilful attacker who is equally at home on the right side of midfield. Was instrumental in Tranmere’s impressive cup run in the 2000-2001 season when he scored two goals to help Rovers beat Leeds in the Worthington Cup. His seven year stay with the Merseyside club was brought to a close at the start of the month after having a disappointing season, much of which he spent on the sidelines with injury.
