How can you roll your eyes at a top signing like that, but then not say anything about Lucketti who has passed it and clearly looked it the other day.

Should be a good season for Town next season though. ST is building a squad, which is something Huddersfield have been missing for many years. Always seemed to have a nice 11 lately but nothing more.

What starting team and formation would you go with?

no i was rolling my eyes at Frank Sinclair.Butler is a great signing for us i think.

Huddersfield Town sign midfielder/ winger Gary Roberts from Ipswich.Uncle Ken's piggy bank has taken a bit of a bashing this summer.2 more signings to come apparently.

and are giving a trial to 102 year old David Unsworth who will bring us plenty of experience.

leeds won 2-0 at barnet. a solid display and robinson is showing what a great signing he was. my one worry is the squad is so big macca doesn't know his best side

I think that was definitely a problem at the begining of his tenure and he said the squad was too big.

Since the end of last season Freedman, Da Costa, Constantine, Elding, Ameobi, Thompson have gone and Robinson, Enoch, Snodgrass, Becchio and probably Telfer have signed. Sheehan's move has been made permanent. Net result the squad is only one smaller.

That said I reckon the writing is clearly on the wall for Sorsa, Carole, Westlake, Kandol, Weston and probably (IMO) Hughes and Sweeney.

That would make a squad of only about 17 plus the kids - who he seems happy to use.

The long-running guessing game surrounding Nicky Maynard finally ended today as Nicky completed a £2.25m move to Bristol City.

Good luck to the lad.

Far too over-priced IMO.

No disagreement from me on that but I wish him all the best.
Was a very popular figure at Crewe both at the academy and when he progressed into the senior squad.

Decent enough player but I feel slightly annoyed that we let Garner go for £1.1m, he's twice the player Maynard is IMO.
