    I love people talking about lack of ambition in someone they have never met.

    This time last year the only deal he could get was a one year deal at Cambridge, in league 2.  Despite his record breaking season at Morecambe that took 3 years. He probably wasn't even on a grand a week. 

    Now he has signed a 3 year deal, in a part of the country he wants to live.  On more money than he could have dreamed about this time last year.  He can probably now buy a house, something I doubt he could do before and provide some sort of security to his family, if he has one.

    It's not like he has given up a crack at the world cup and champions league is.  He will know how good he is, or isn't. Unless he was going to get a first team gig at one of the bigger league 1 clubs, which he wasn't, it's probably the best move he could have got, for him.

    Good luck to him.  To those questioning his ambition how financially secure were you at 26?
    Fair enough, but why let facts stand in the way of a good old fashioned argument B)

    Come back the Mercury all is forgiven...

    Easy back then, pickup your local newspaper and there's John Bumstead and Steve Gatting plastered all over the back page sporting section.

    Times were much simpler.

    Part of me remembers those days fondly.

    You only found out when the deal was already done - you read it in the weekly Mercury, whether a surprise or disappointment. No agitating and wasting your day on an internet forum.

    But whatever, you gobbled up all the story. And then rang Club Call at a pound a minute the next morning to hear the same story announced again plus a load of jingles.

    We were quite desperate for news, any news, in those days.
    And nobody moaned about it. Not even Golfie. :smile:

    Maatsen is off to Coventry. Back to the drawing board for Gallen and Roody.

    Coventry City to beat Charlton Athletic to loan signing of Chelsea's Ian Maatsen - The 72
    Honestly not bothered by this. IMO he wasn’t a defender.

    Can someone tweet Cawley asking him if he thinks we've got any chance of nicking Mullin off Wrexham.

    Maatsen IMO is quite clearly a wing back.

    Purrington is a conventional full back, a solid defender.

    Agree a solid defender, fortunately he wasn't too solid and up with play for that equalizer at Wembley though eh B)

    The manager has said he is looking for tall lads. 
    Given that, it is hardly surprising that we have not signed him.

    Did we want him back, did he even want to come back, clearly fancied a step up in leagues as well as Chelsea, sure he will do fine there as well.

    I'm surprised how many likes another "one more done, no other info" gets still. There is zero useful information in this whatsoever. Remember the same was said a few weeks back and the player allegedly failed a medical. 

    I just keep an eye out for the DONE DEAL on newsnow.

    Only 2-3 days ago on Twitter and Into The Valley you said that Maatsen was coming back. I didn't believe that for a second anyway but I just want to know why you post stuff that you know just isn't true? It's very weird. Your posts contradict each other constantly. I don't get it

    The fact that you are allowed on here while Mr Acworth isn't is baffling.

    You’re behind the times, it’s all about frantically refreshing the official Twitter account.

    Yeah he's been completely unreliable... 


    @Covered_End_Lad will your source reveal if he's the second of the two that were close on 20/07 (Assume Clare was the first)

    Give it time. Kane needs to get back down from Manchester. Will be done by 18:00.

    Do you want a player in everyday until the window closes? Honestly? 

    It comes across as the case and anything less is a bad transfer window..
  • If there is going to be a signing, then surely it'll be announced today? They wouldn't announce a signing on the same day as a game and if they wait til monday then they've got the kit announcement too ...

    If it is Viv Solomon Otabor I look forward to the meltdown because of his medical issue. 

    I'm guessing it's between him and Gomes.

    I think signings could coincide with the kit release, unless playing tomorrow.
