It’d be six with Burgess and Kenlock too. As much as I like Penney and I’m happy we’ve blooded Clements, the latter is making as many mistakes as Penney now. |  |

You think back to Evan's era, we would be looking for has been's or cast off's. [Post edited 29 Nov 2021 7:12]

I'd heard he was on the transfer list with Norwood pre Rotherham but then he came back in for that game so may not have been the case |  |

I think it’s clear we’re definitely working ‘closely’ with that agency group, given how many we signed this summer use them as agents. |  |

Yep. Might be way off on their thinking but not sure they'd want to have two young left-backs here, that kind of thing is definitely an issue, so if Castillo thing is true I'd wonder about Coulson. |  |

Coulson isn't of any use to us injured and also wonder whether Wilder might like him back amongst his squad. |  | |  |

yep me too, was surprised when he was in. Cook really doesn't fancy him after that Plymouth mistake |  | |  |

So this agent... is he close pals with Ashton? What I'm trying to ascertain is, have some of Cook's signings actually been players suggested to him via said agent & Ashton? Is Ashton almost doubling as a sporting director-cum-CEO? |  | |  |

One bad performance and Cook puts him on the transfer list. Wonder how many times Cook would've sacked himself if he was the owner. |  |

Professional football player switched off, that's not good whatever way you want to look at it. How many times must that be drilled into a player, even from a young age? |  | |  |

Signing a player in June with a 2-year contract, only to transfer list them in November would be quite something... |  |

It would be outrageous if that was the case, whilst he had a bad game at Plymouth he was quite solid for the first few games, whilst he's not the answer, to transfer list him after a game or two really does make me think Cook is all over the place trying to find formulas. |  |
