A good player with experience and leadership qualities, nice to see as he won't be cheap, maybe an indication we are spending a bit more on wages to bring the right players in.

I honestly feel that in Collins and Clarke we have a potentially very good partnership
Not the fastest but neither was Bobby Moore!
They have 5 yards of pace in their heads - snuff things out before they happen
Loved Shaun to bits - top man and top player - but Slade and Wilko will have thought "if we want to challenge next year" is Shaun a first team centre half?
The fact he's ended up at non league Wrexham is revealing IMO
Left back, one more centre half and a quality striker and I think we are home and dry... oh and another 5 or 6 midfielders
Getting excited now about the squad - it will be more competitive I think than last season and we did really well IMO
I can see us being no nonsense solid at the back; busy, combative, pacy and skilful in midfield; and the icing would be a top notch L2 standard striker along with what we have
Top 7 sorted!

Agree Garth
Or a couple like that!
Back sound as a pound
Midfield mix of attack dogs and skill
Two 100mph wingers
Two top notch up top
Job done

I never complain and I'm patient but I really want and would love to see us sign either a very experienced striker or a well known up and coming striker

All it reveals to me is that Wrexham offered Sean a good deal that suited him and rather than play the waiting game he made a quick decision. You point out we need another centre-half who I would presume would be a back-up to Collins and Clarke. If that is the case then why let Pearson go as he has demonstrated in the past that he will fight for his place, would certainly learn from Collins and Clarke and has constantly improved since he came. Also , if Nathan is the answer to our centre-half problem in pushing for promotion then why sign him for only 12 months? Obviously anything said about Sean going is secondary because he has gone but I feel there is more than a smattering of " engineering " been done by releasing Pearson to bring in a potential "favourite" of Slade. |

Slade's decision would have to have been whether Shaun was going to be first choice as Boyce was already contracted as a 'back up'. Shaun wasn't even first choice in promotion season and much as we loved his stepovers, he wasn't beyond a howler or two. Clarke and Collins have a proven record at higher levels and we already had Boyce. |
