Gary. You are right re Drury - wishful thinking on my part!

We shouldn't get too hung up on players' ages. We need the quality and experience to get us up, and then keep us there for a year or two. Fitness levels these days means that, barring injury, most professionals can play at the top level until they are 35.

h32 - sorry if this is rubbish because, as you said the other day, I clearly don't know anything!

jas099 - very old news; same post as other articles you've attached posts to. Andrews and Murphy are loans with a view to signing.

Collins would be an excellent addition, if he comes. He is YOUNGER than Gareth McCauley (just turned 31) and has 199 Premiere League appearances to his name, to Gareth's 0. Not a bad 'replacement'! And then add Sonko and Ingarmarson to that, we would have three excellent central defenders on board at itfc. Well done PJ/Clegg/Evans.

Spot on comments by ivorfeeling and stanwayblue.

In addition to what was said by ivorfeeling;

Rather than signing someone on permanent and then finding out that the player does not fit into the team, the loan window at least allows us to have a better assessment of the player.

Who says he's coming here?

PJ said he'd been talking to Pulis regularly about 'one or two players' in the Stoke squad joining itfc

I agree with norseblue we need these players with experience age does count for a lot. As long as they stay fit & injury free.

Ivor - it's best to ignore jas0999. He just likes to have a moan on every story printed. He's still bitter that "Roy" has gone.

If Andrews continues in his current form he will be signing for a Prem side - not us !

Jas0999 - I would rather Town sign a player on loan and find out if he is up to the job and have an option of buying, than payout large amounts to get him on board and then find out he isn't, Leadbitter being a prime example.

Think he'd be a good signing, could be a very good one.
We are building a good team that is now very close to being complete.

Murphy Chopra

Martin Bullard Andrews JET

Creswell Collins Sonko New loanee

Stockdale

Subs: Lee-Barrett, Ingimarsson, Bowyer, Edwards, Scotland

I think this is a line-up of a team that could do very well in the championship.
We have more options in the likes of Delaney, Kennedy, Leadbitter, Carson, Drury, Ellington and Priskin. I also believe we should keep hold of Peters as I think he is a good player as a winger, less so as a RB. Give him another chance!!!

DutchTownFan, I agree with most of your line up...but to have Martin and JET in the same team is a liability. Neither can tackle, would make very easy tactics for opposing Managers...attack the fullbacks. Both of these younger players need to up their overall game to deserve a place in the team. I would rather see Murphy played wide and give Scotland the other forward position, Edwards played wide midfield with a new right back?

IVOR FEELING did not read your comments because there is to much to read with links and chit added on stop the waffle and i might read ya comments and give you a view on it

Churhmans-you sound intellectually challenged, that means thick in your language so go back to school(notice there is no 'k' in school but there is a 'W' prior to 'anker').

IvorFeeling- love your last comment, made my day, psml!!!!

Leave Wickham where he is. I really don't undertsand why Town fans get so excited about him. He has rich potential but PJ won't be able to unlock it with his limited managerial expertise.

Good news! Get him in!!!!!!
