Of course we don't know for certain whether we have made any sort of offer to David Artell but judging by this article it sounds very much as though he is off to Port Vale.

Edit: I see Artell has now signed for Port Vale (so we can cross him off the list) along with Richard Duffy from Exeter, who was another one I was hoping we might have been talking to. A couple of decent signings by Port Vale, for sure, they look to be building a decent squad there I reckon.

Do we know for sure that it will be a free agent. I reckon we could be spending a few pennies. 30k or so can get you a good experienced CB. id rather pay for someone than anyone on the free list.

Carlisle is past it for me, and maybe also Arber although he wouldn't be too bad. I think I'd prefer Arber over Anthony. Dean Holden I always had down as more of a full back.

Foster seems to have had a bit of a nomadic career, which wouldn't rule out a west country move, but I still think it will be Anthony.

Although just to throw a curveball in there, Lingy did do quite a bit of scouting in Scotland, and he said he wanted a 100+ appearances sort of guy but never said in what league..........

One of the other two probably is Byron Anthony (which I'd still be quite underwhelmed by) but I'm intrigued by the fourth target. From a glance at the PFA list, I think it'll be any of:

Dean Holden
Clarke Carlisle
Magnus Okuonghae
Mark Arber
Luke Foster

Out of those my personal favourite would be Okuonghae, but I think he'll get a League One club, much like Adam Lockwood did.

Should we expect any news in the next couple of days?

Yep, it does sound very much as though Artell is joining Port Vale and should be announced tomorrow. If he was a traget, then we know that Lingy has been talking to two out of a potential four targets ... so here's hoping the other one is even better.

Muzzy wants out, Tony Mowbray has confirmed he's a target for M'Boro but they can't agree a fee. Think they've bid around 200k, we want around 400k, I'd imagine a deal will be struck sometime in August for around 250k.

We won't set the division alight, but with a few new faces I can see us possibly being on the fringe of the playoffs, no more. With the squad you have I honestly think you have a great shout of being top 3, barring a major injury crisis.[/quote]

Have I misread this, or has no one else noticed?
You are suggesting a Championship club want Mustapha Carayol and you are hoping to receive four hundred thousand pounds in return?
That. Is. Amazing.[/quote]

Correct! We turned down a bid in Jan from Barnsley for around 150k, then again this summer from another championship club, believed to be Derby for just under 200k http://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/page/Lat ... 01,00.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; .They've now signed Michael Jacobs from Northampton.

M'boro have publically stated their interest http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/boro-fc/bo ... -31289470/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;?

As I said we won't get 400k, I'd imagine it will be around 250k + a sell on. Lincoln also have 20% if I'm not mistaken. We're likely to accept the lower bid because he only has a year left on his contract.

Had 2 bids for James Constable turned down a month or so ago, not sure if we'll come back in with a third bid, personally I wouldn't go above the 150k we had rejected. He also wants to bring back the loanees, Bolger & Parkes from Leicester, aswell as Lund from Stoke.
