Why would it ever mean that Turner would have the 3 shirt? We sign a new centre to play them.

Not necessarily, sometimes signings are made just to add depth to the squad. Mr Bartos describes the best possible scenario IMO.

I know a lot of people who are very sceptical about AP's reasons for buying FC.

With this weeks news I can see why.

Two more people have told me this week that Allam is in with AP, this worry does not go away.

Don't say that, Standee will be on soon

not at all, I quite agree with the general malaise about this signing, Hay/Radford as assistants I can take on merit and see how it goes, but surely a leaky defender with a poor try scoring record isn't the best we can do with an owner who said he was happy "to invest my money on fees if necessary", add that to the removal of the voucher exchange and the farce of the chosen 400 for the first forum and I am underwhelmed.

What I do not believe is that AP is in cahoots with Allam in any way shape or form, and I hope I am proven right.

I'd be very surprised if Martin wasn't first choice centre

Re: Tony Martin : Fri Oct 07, 2011 7:55 am  

Would rather have signed Doc Martin

Re: Tony Martin : Fri Oct 07, 2011 7:55 am  

If I was Turner and Martin got the no.3 shirt I would walk out!

I said 'hope' not that it 'will' mean Turner get's the number 3 shirt.

Not every new signing will be a guaranteed starter, it's a squad game.

Cheers Mr Brindley, it's the only positive scenario I can see coming from this signing to be honest.

I'm as underwhelmed as the next person on here, but anyone who expected a Lyon or Bridge signing as this point in the season was always set for a disapointment.

Re: Tony Martin : Fri Oct 07, 2011 8:02 am  

We need to know who's signing this is.

Where is our coach I have yet to hear a RH interview with him - nothing on FC TV- when does he arrive.

This is a McRae signing very worrying.
