Nathan Bishop at Mansfield on loan from Man U is the one we should be looking to get. Makes sense for Man U too; hes proved he can perform in L2, now show it in L1

And get Stanno Jr back on loan and give him the 9 shirt

If Mansfield do not go up then Bishop would seem a really sensible, realistic signing for us to replace Dawson. Whilst i never though Dawson would be being here beyond this season, i am gutted now he only has one more match remaining as he pure class in goal.

I can't see Stansfield coming back but would like to see him back in the red and white.

And yet, you posted this on page 30 of this thread....
{RE "Joel Randall also been transfer listed by Posh"
}
I've seen this rumour on Twitter. If they're releasing him it suggests serious injury problems. I can't see anyone paying a fee.

Didn't seem such a ridiculous idea then, SRJ.

WTF are you on about?
Someone posted the rumour, I looked on Twitter and found that tweet, which I mentioned on page 30:

I've seen this rumour on Twitter. If they're releasing him it suggests serious injury problems. I can't see anyone paying a fee.
Where does it say there that belueve the rumour to be true or that I think signing him is a good idea?

You're the one who seems to have turned rumour into FCAT.

Apparently he's been transfer-listed.
Then when asked by Benjisheps where you'd seen it, I provided the tweet that is the source of the rumour.

I didn't start the rumour, which as I said is absurd.

Jesus.

MT said in todays interview that during his scouting trip to the Port Vale v Newport game, he was keeping an eye on any potentially available players in the summer.

I imagine Azaz caught his eye.

Absolutely , Villa will want him to play league 1 next season so he isn’t going back to Newport. He’s a top player . Love him on loan

I’d like to stick with a 3412/21 so players fitting into that. Maybe an older, more defensive LWB to complement Sparkes being more attacking, and a RWB to challenge Caprice.

And as said before, a keeper, DM and a ST or two.

I do wonder what will happen with our CBs though, will we keep Sweens, Stubbs, Alex, Diabate, Grounds, Ray etc. Quite a few but who is really good enough for L1? Right now I’d only be sure of Stubbs - as much as I love them all… Say Diabate gets bought, Ray free transfer, Grounds not retained… We’d need a CB too!

Could be a fun summer.

Hartridge could step up no problem.

I'd have thought that centre back was not a position we would need improvement on if we can hold on to them all.
Matt has said that he's going to give this team a chance in league 1 I would only expect a few signings, a new goalie is the main worry.

I think there is too much anxiety on these boards. Most of the teams who have been promoted in recent seasons have managed to survive in L1. Cheltenham and Cambridge made few changes to their squads. Therefore, we dont need much more than a tinker at the edges to hold our own. Having said that we clearly need a Goalie and 2 strikers :)
