From Leicester, named on back page of the mail tonight as the lad who played as trialist against Horden earlier in week.

Spoke to the player who lives in my village today and he was enthusiastic about him, the team were impressed with his training today and hoping that they sign him clappp

That is a superb write up but it would still be a big step up for a young lad. Sounds like he'd be worth a try though.

Ok, so Collins is out & this young lad seems to be doing well in Leicester reserves, but haven't we got enough cover already at centre-back?

Nothing against Bolger- he may well be ace but I think we need loan signings elsewhere on the pitch. Up front springs to mind!

If we're going to spend money on loan signings is another centre back the best outlay, given our limited funds

Given the report of his headed goal for Leicester reserves perhaps Mick is going to play him up front :wink:

We have no cover at all at centre half

We dont really have much cover at all. Previous managers would have just moved half the squad around to accommodate any injuries but it would appear Mick would sooner prefer to sign a comfortable centre half and leave the rest to play in their best positions. Thats good by me.

And like you say, playing him up front may be an option if he is good in the air as with crosses into the box from Horwood, they would be guaranteed a few goals! :grin:

We need cover at centre back with Collins out, I can't see how anyone says we don't. Liddle does good job but he better in midfield, Haslam can cover as such but is not really a centre back, he's a square peg in a round hole, which we've had to much of over the last few seasons.

Up front signings is not a position we require "loan cover" in in my opinion. Ok some will say we not scoring enough but we have Brown, Boyd , Behan Bjornnson, Hassan, Humphreys, Larkin, Greulich , Mackay.I'm not going to get in to a discussion about the pros/cons of all those I've just named but that's 9 forwards on the books.

If MW says he wants a centre back, then as far as I'm concerned we need a centre back, he's got just about everything else right so far this season.

Why would you sign a centre half to play him up front as a striker
