    I was referring to the "we ditched Arter" comment amongst others about yoof team players of yesteryear and about kids we release from the club. How often do we let a player go who turns out to be a superstar?

    There's not many that have gone on to bigger and better thing. We don't get it right every time but we've a decent strike rate

    In your defence, you do have a point to an extent. When we released the likes of Green, Wilson, even Turner, you can see why it was done at the time. We only needed Wilson, Green and Haynes later on because we had fallen from the point of their release.

    What frustrates me the most is how much we have received. If you look at the going rate of the market, the likes of Shelvey, Gomez and Cousins should have all commanded higher fees. Lookman is the only one we received a fair fee for.

    Exactly - would hate to see where getting it wrong more than most would leave us!

    I'm not talking about the "Roland era" I'm going back a couple of decades. Seldom do our academy release players who prove them wrong

    I see we were linked on here recently to Micheal Bostwick from Peterborough . Well he's just signed for Lincoln.

    you don't maybe think we didn't pursue that one???

    My guess is we haven't pursued anyone of any real worth other than Dasilva. The club setting us up nicely with the KAG website interview and how he is the missing player we need.

    Fed up of their constant bullshit

    nothing not to like about that signing, excellent stuff.

    I suspect Jacko is more pleased that anyone!

    Can breath a sigh of relief in terms of the Left-Back position now.

    Really pleased that we've got him back!!

    Yep, no offense to JJ but great to have a proper left back on board so he can keep some mileage in those legs(that have gone) for super sub appearances

    Still probably three pieces missing. Hopefully we will find them under the sofa!

    Or we wasn't interested and his agent leaked a storey linking him to us in the hope that the player would get a better gig than Lincoln
