According to sources on Twitter- Maynards signed and Walker a year long loan

Although I hope this is true the source isn't exactly a credible one

How many sources and what quality of source?

If it's someone from within, say, the Nottingham Post and someone close to somebody at Port Vale, then yes, two sources. Someone connected to someone at GTFC, then fine, strong source.

Now do we have a genuine source, or is this just some bloke on twitter?


(Great deals if they come off by the way!!)

Just 21. Limited league experience. Just been released by MK Dons.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabongo_Tshimanga

Shima as we affectionately know him first came to the attention of the FC-G partnership when he was only 8 years old. At this young age he was being tipped as a star of the future but when Zaire became The Congo  the Diables Rouges as they were later known seem to lose interest but he was always in the thoughts of the FC-G partnership and he is mentioned several times in our most recent book which we are sure that you all will find very informative. Good reading.

They're now saying the Maynard deal is dead, location problem.

Quoted from Mariner_09

They're now saying the Maynard deal is dead, location problem.

I can't understand has a 'deal' falls down over location.
The location is not negotiable, it doesn't fking move. So if it's a problem then a 'deal' should never even be considered. If the player blames location as a reason to pull out he's talking bollox.

Who are 'They'? Genuine question, not saying you're wrong.

So when he "signed" he had the map the wrong way round , he then realised were Grimsby was and demanded his "signed" contract be torn up so Grimsby politely obliged.

Did we offer petrol money ?

Quoted from Mariner_09

Matt Dannatt

Matt Dannatt isn't saying the deal is off due to location is he? Somebody else has said they've heard the deal is off and Matt is telling that to the person who said originally we are signing him, in return this tweeted saying he has heard the deal could still be on

He has a Grandmother who lives in Fleetwood so he thought he could lodge there while playing for us,

Then ???

Would think if town are seriously trying to sign maynard then they are certainly pushing the boat out....he has been on some serious wages in the past

Red cross me but would Maynard be that good a signing??

2 goals in 31 last season for MK Dons

Only 16 goals in 118 appearances over the last 5 years.

Undoubtedly would want a significant wage and he'll be 31 by the turn of the year.

I don't see it as a good signing personally.

Can players not move?  I know they're not on Premier League salaries, but surely they can find a short term let in the area?  Grimsby is about the cheapest area for housing in the country so I'm sure it's not beyond the wit of the club to set a loanee up with an apartment and a train ticket home every fortnight is it?

Sounds like a smokescreen for something else to me.

Well passed his peak

It's obvious he is past his peak as are most players at 31....certainly doesn't mean he couldn't rip this league up and score plenty of goals

Think I'd be more interested in Walker. Trouble is, so are other clubs  :X

Map? Nah. In the days when people used maps footballers didn't use them. That's how Kevn Keegan was able to persuade Rob Lee to move from Charlton to Newcastle. 'Oh yeah, it's not as far north as Middlesborough Rob.'

Quoted from oldun

Who did he pass it to? And doesn't he need one himself to shield his eyes from the sun?

That reminds me when Middlesborough signed a Brazilian who's name eludes me at the moment,

After playing for them for a few months he was asked how he has settled in this country,

He replied, " nobody told me it got dark at 4 o'clock "

Thanks that's the one.

What a player!!!

Anyone expecting Maynard to sign will be disappointed i think. He's been previously in the championship arguably on 15-20k a week, accepting probably less than that at mk dons. But we couldnt afford the wages for Adam Chickson who went to bradford so extremely doubt we'd be in for Maynard. Id also expect maynard to stay in league one or higher.

Walker would be a good shout on a season loan though

Think yhe level of football played a much bigger part in the Chicksen deal that money!

As much as I adore Town - choosing us or Bradford is no contest.

Who was the flipping idiot that ruined ABiii? Didn't realise how far Grimsby was from Reading and developed a bad back from all the driving. I've managed to eradicate the lazy gets name from my memory.

Oh god I've just got it...Martin flipping Butler. The man who (slightly) tarnished the reputation of the best town manager in my watching days.
