Nice to not feel desperate. Hope MB gets who he wants but it looks like worst case scenario he'll have the summer to build for another go at League 2.


Yeah agree, back in the league and relatively safe in Jan is feeling good. Anything more from here is a bonus.

Jones has been on the bench the last couple of games. Osborne started but went off injured.

I understand the offer we made for Jones was 'derisory'. Even if the player wants to come, we can't expect clubs to give up their contracted assets for peanuts.

It's testing their resolve, with players with 6 months left on their contract they may just panic and let him go cheap, I can easily see all three happening before the window closing, when clubs take the money and run, even if it less than they are valued. With Omar, he has 18 months left on his deal so we are less pressured to sell.

As I often say, these things tend to hang on whether the player wants to come or not. I heard that the Solihull pair do but don't know for sure. Haven't managed to find out if Jones wants to join from Gateshead. All in good time, as always. MB seems to be hinting that we won't hang about if we can't do deals within budget and will move on. If players want to go and clubs block them, that tends to create some problems, so let's see....

The fact Bignot was so coy about it when asked suggests things are ongoing. But of course, you can't really take much away from interviews with managers with these things.

Spot on, I am sure MB & Gary Wilde have other options and I would imagine that the players and Solihull Moors know that too.

I dare say if we haven't signed them by say Tuesday we will be looking elsewhere and goodbye Solihull and Gateshead. The respective managers are going to be in a quandary."Do or Dont" It's up to them

Reading on the Solihull forum last night, a few were suggesting the BBC article referred to the first offers for the pair and that they are considering the second over the weekend. A few also said they are close to an agreement.
