    Yeah, even CP's squad had Kermorgant - as good as he was he wound up other players/fans something chronic and it gave us a useful edge more often than not.

    I like DJ. None of our managers got a tune out of him but I think Garner can. Plus he was the Swindon advance party paving the way for the rest to follow.

    I also think DJ could be used more centrally, albeit that position is probably Fraser's initially

    Swindon sign a left back, could free up their current one to join us.

    Dunkley wouldnt be bad. 36 goals for a CB is pretty good going and defensively at corners he would be a plus!

    Just curious as I've only seen his highlights; apart from the annoying hair, what else does he do that so winds people up, and how do some of you know about these antics?
    Seen a couple of interviews with him and he's a cocky little shit with a chip on his shoulder.

    I don't necessarily mind a player with a chip on their shoulder.
    And he doesn't mind winding up away fans with his goal celebrations. Personally don't mind a cocky so and so in the team as at least then he's our cocky so and so. Plus Garner would know what he's like as a person and in and around the dressing room so if he's happy then I'm happy.
    Agree.

    Like all "mavericks" he just wants to be loved, Garner obviously knew how to handle and treat him to get the best out of him.
    We were offered Payne last season turned him down

    Mods someone needs to fix the RonnieMoore's bot algorithm. It's regurgitated RedHenry's rumour about Payne in response to a thread of messages about McKirdy.

    Not sure what that has to do with my post however, I'd guess Swindon were looking to get a fee for him knowing he wasn't going to sign a new contract.

    I hear a rumour we may be going after Reece Devine.  Don't know anything about him though.  😂😂😂

    I'm expecting us to land a relatively bigger fish come the start of the season, a striker, and depending on how high they are as a priority on our target list, I'm expecting us to fend off competition paying a fee to get them. I'm thinking a Stockton or Jephcott (1 year left on his contract) in stature / reputation, but not necessarily either of those particular players.

    Then we'll see what Wednesday are made of when it comes to a bidding war. The players they're had so far were all free and we don't know if they were of interest to us. I doubt the two Rotherham lads they got were even on our radar tbh, and they've managed a crafty move there, the dirty, cheating, northern bar stewards. if true they're after Mr Purrington 😺 another freebie.

    That is of course, unless Thomas really is skint 😂🤣😂🤣

    You do realise JJ has left and Ben Garner is manager now?

    Yup.  Our disciplinary record was poor, without any of that edge/shithousery.  The 100 yellow card thing and the fact we made a thing of it was pathetic.  Really accentuated what a toilet season it was.  The edge we have is when Stockley mis controls the ball and ends taking players out and career ending tackles from Inniss, exactly the wrong edge

    DJ strikes me, admittedly one of his small fanclub, as someone Garner could have quite a lot of use for
    Why is Garner getting married or having a party or something!😬😂

  • tbf BG has only just come in and if he and the rest of the recruitment team feel they can now take advantage of his relationships and connections with the better players of his former club and rate them more than other players they had on the target list then i see that as good news dont get all the moaning

    The best thing DJ could be used for is driving Davison to Swindon and remaining there with him.
    Both crap.

    I think DJ could be a top league 1, lower championship player, in the right position/role.

    I don't see it being with us.

    Would certainly have him on the unload list.

    He's from London, he knows our manager and some of our players, we'll soon be getting a 2m bonus from Pope's transfer, surely we can edge Sheff Weds out of it?
    You'd hope so, but Sheff Weds are throwing silly money about 
    Paid nothing yet in transfer fees though. All five signings out of contract.
    The money they are on is ridiculous
