Summer recruitment

[pipppy]

The Football League (World) have made 7 suggestions for summer signings. Some familiar faces!

Web Revan isn’t being released so is obviously still under contract and I doubt if Wrexham would let him go without wanting a fee.

Frog not at all as long as they make it clear I have not said we are actually signing these players, these are just in my personal opinion sensible signings.

Fair enough.

You know how it works on here. Dip your bread

And all players we won?t get

A Listers - what list will we end up with?

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

Grist one stand out name in that lot - Ajayi. I for one wouldn't want him back, always had that 50p head when attempting to clear a ball.

Sod's law he ends up back here so I will have to support/accept him if he does return.

From that list I would go for Jones

Lister from Red Dwarf

Still say the centre half at Mansfield Town is decent player, out of contract in June 2025.
He commanded the defence & played out to midfield he ran the game well.

ELK, you're referring to Alfie Kilgour, 27 years old. You have to beg the question though why Mansfield Town of all teams are releasing him?

I agree he did look to control the defence well for them but did we really impose ourselves enough on them thus making him look good. I did though, like how he carried the ball out well and pushed his team upfield. Also he was always a threat in set pieces/corners.

Here is his time with Mansfield town. Reading between the lines even Nigel Clough thinks it's time to let him go.

On 12 January 2023, Kilgour signed for League Two club Mansfield Town for an undisclosed fee on an eight.een-month contract, bringing his sevent.een year association with Bristol Rovers to an end. Alfie scored on his full debut for Mansfield with a half volley from 16 yards which saw the Stags beat Doncaster Rovers 4-1 at Field Mill. His impressive start to life at Mansfield continued across the second half of the season, winning the club's player of the month award for three successive months between February and April 2023.

On 15 August 2023, Kilgour was stretchered off just sevent.een minutes into a 2–2 draw with Doncaster Rovers, revealed to be a ruptured achilles that would rule him out for the remainder of the season. In January 2024, he signed a new eight.een-month contract extension to keep him at the club until June 2025. On 5 October 2024, he made his return to playing, 418 days after suffering his injury. Having struggled for regular first-team playing time following his return, manager Nigel Clough admitted that a loan move would have been ideal following the closing of the January transfer window.

Kilgour was released upon the expiration of his contract at the end of the 2024–25 season.

Just about sums up he's no longer up to League 1 football.....so it's a no from us.

Very good read that, enjoyed it. Chauke is definitely one we should be looking at

Crewe have a decent young keeper Henson.
Think he's 21. Played most of the season for them. Kept plenty of clean sheets (I await grists comment)
