Luke maxwell

Believed to be a possible loan target.

On Humberside this morning. Gary Whild was at Kiddy with him and they sold him to Brum for £75k.

Left footed central midfielder who can also play at the back evidently

Holding midfielder so presumably that means Conley is going back to qpr, if he is coming in?

Quite possibly

Wasn't comley linked with Northampton and a n other?

Whild's proven abilities to bring in players that themselves are marketable later on could be the best signing that Town will make this season.

With Whild, Moore and Bignot all having good Midlands connections, we could now have a lead into previously unused player resources, and combine that with Woods' work with Walsall, that should form a comprehensive management database to move towards a player conveyor belt progression, both youth level and players who want to progress upwards to higher leagues, possibly using Grimsby Town as their advert.

I'm guessing that they will already have extensive knoweldge of U 23 and U 21 sides, as well as youth players and reserve sides.

Town's bonus must be to progress themselves up to a higher league by those players not just being good fro themselves, but helping the team as a unit to go higher. If they can unearth three or four players of the ilk of Conor Townsend, and in different areas of the pitch, then the whole team will benefit.

Good post Acko and it has been my wish for a long time that we go down this route. Hopefully we can emulate what Gradi did at Crewe some years back. If we can get the recruitment right and hopefully a new stadium at some point, then the future would look bright after year of the doldrums. Here's hoping.

If we emulate what Gradi did at Crewe some years back I for one will never support this club again. How can you promote this mans way of developing young boys? Disgusting.

That's a cheap shot Cobra.

Good post Acko.

In terms of management structure and player recruitment, I think we are starting to see initial elements of the "project" that Bignot was talking about..
