Myself and Andy were quite friendly so yes I really would care actually!

Yeh he went a bit mental on another thread a while back. Unfortunately I wasn't able to see it.

@gullno4: Manse, Poke, Cruise, Downesy are just a few names.

Sounds good to be, Nsiala seems decent although I'm not sure of him being a first XI player quite yet.

Steven Leslie is a good player and will be great as competition for Bodin. What worries me though is how many times he's been released.

Jordan Robertson would be good though, happy to see that one.

Unsure as to how I'd feel if Robertson signed a deal here to be honest, with his previous. I don't think that would be the right sort of signing for a "family" club like ourselves to be totally honest..

Seem like squad players to me at best with Nsiala being released by Accrington early and Steven Leslie being released by Telford for poor form - but guess they will have to prove they are of suitable calibre whilst on trial.

I am unsure how to feel about Robertson and regardless of the past he will have to fully prove he is over his knee cruitiate to warrant a contract so in this respect it is right we are looking at him first.

The possibility of signing 3 this week, and a to have a few trialist a down I think is some good news.

Jordan Chapell would be a good right winger with Bodin on the left at least we will show some attacking intent.

I think Jordan Robertson would be a great signing, he's big and powerful. Yes he has some previous but it's not as bad as it could be. He is no Lee Hughes just a genuine mistake. A family club giving a young boy a chance who's had a hard time. Surely that shows a family club more than anything?

I think we need to get over this 'family club' rubbish. The fact is Robertson is a good player, one that has played well for us before and also under our current manager. He's physical, in a forward line that lacks that (assuming Benyon signs) and as exiled mentioned, he's no where near as despicable as Hughes.

I have heard from quite a few sources that AK has been to Paris recently to try and tie up a deal for a player - although no idea as to actually who! If it is indeed Manset and AK can somehow get him to sign then he would be an excellent addition to the squad, if he can reproduce what he did for Hereford a few seasons back, before his big money move to Reading that is.

hope you two are right, would be an unbelievable signing, bags of quality, not much different to Rene!!!!!

Manset would be the impossible dream of a signing. Would be very excited if true but highly unlikely and I am sure he has many more financially appealing offers than we could ever dream of presenting him with.
