Racine out for a year. And Rooney has returned to his home club. Where does that leave the squad now? Any sign of another player or two coming in to strengthen the team?

Probably a fair assessment if GG is to play the remainder of the games at CB. I like him as a player but not in that position.brucie wrote: 02 Feb 2017, 12:16 Apparently that leaves the squad staring relegation in the face......................

I would imagine that if we were to bring anyone in, it would be concluded and announced tomorrow to give said player the longest possible time with us.
I guess now that a 93-day loan would cover to the end of the season?
Completely unfoundered rumour-mongering, but I see that Newport have been desperate to offload Jack Compton and Ben Tozer. Both experienced pros, in positions we need and with Devonian links - almost tailor-made for us on the face of it. Westley has stated that he had offers for them but the players didn't want to leave - I wonder if we enquired?

Looks like there will be another departure, Fitzpatrick wants to go back to Wimbledon with his last match likely to be against Macclesfield on the 11th. Very worrying.

When I hear the name Compton, my heart sinks. One of the most infamous TUFC quotes of all time came from Paul Compton when he was Manager. He was asked about tactics for the forthcoming Hereford game, he replied 'it's just eleven men and a football' .

Its understandable why he wants to go back, I wish him every success. He's been a real joy to watch and has given 100% each match, so I have no complaints, we have been very lucky to have him. The same applies to Rooney.Orange Gull wrote: 02 Feb 2017, 16:19 Looks like there will be another departure, Fitzpatrick wants to go back to Wimbledon with his last match likely to be against Macclesfield on the 11th.

I stated previously I like the look of centre forward Josh O’Hanlon released by Newport. Only 21 - 6ft plus - brought over from Ireland by Bournemouth in 2014 for £50,000 fee then loaned out to non-league clubs until his move to Newport..Jeff wrote: 02 Feb 2017, 15:07 ...I see that Newport have been desperate to offload Jack Compton and Ben Tozer.

Also if we are looking for a short term solution for a centre half cover then Newport have also released Abdoulaye Meite the Ivory Coast international. Ok, he is 36, but he is experienced, e.g. West Brom, Bolton, Red Star, Marseille and was with Newport on non-contract terms, so he should be affordable.

I have always rated Compton. I think we have come close to signing him on more than one occasionJeff wrote: 02 Feb 2017, 15:07 I would imagine that if we were to bring anyone in, it would be concluded and announced tomorrow to give said player the longest possible time with us.

When Tony Adams came to Plainmoor with Portsmouth for a friendly, I overheard him coaching a somewhat floundering Pompey team "Kick it!".wivelgull wrote: 02 Feb 2017, 16:57 When I hear the name Compton, my heart sinks.

He didn't....it fell through.
Under FIFA rules you can only play for 2 clubs in one season.

Signed for Dover today. Pity we didn't get him instead of Anderson who somehow seems to have been on the books at Blackburn, Exeter and Barrow without having hardly played a first team match for any of them.IanGull01 wrote: 02 Feb 2017, 23:24 He didn't....it fell through.

I see KN wants a new striker. Would think that a right winger and maybe a creative midfielder would be more urgent with Fitzpatrick gone and Young more injured than fit at the moment.
