Sounds like a good signing. Experienced at this level and versatile is good as he can hopefully slot in next to Turi or even be rotated with Green.

Surprised we managed to get him on a season long loan from a rival but not gonna complain about that.

Also probably means Catchpole can go out on loan now for first team experience.

Yeah might be able to give Green a bit of a rest now and again now then.
We run him into the ground last season

Exactly this!! Also means we don't lose the power and intensity Greeny gives us through the centre when he tires with 15 or 20  mins to go!

Albeit a bit old highlights  , with what he says and the clips he looks very similiar to Green in terms of position . Will be interesting to see if it's an either or scenario . Or if he can play the left 8 position , he does look slightly more composed on the ball than Greeny and that was 6 years ago so hopefully he's a good signing .

Well we definitely can't say we're short in midfield now, maybe would have liked another wide player, but that's being really picky seeing as we paid a fee fpr Finch who is going to be the replacement for Burns long term.

York boss Lindsey says Shelton was loaned out because there were too many players in front of him. He was also behind in terms of fitness. Well, they must have some top midfielders.

He was behind in fitness because he wouldn't play him!  I think he only featured in one game?  Hasn't been in the squad for any league games, he's full of shite if he thinks we're gonna believe that hes not good enough to even get on the bench after forking out a (relative) fortune for him!

Bonkers take.

Scott Lindsey is one of those managers who you can't believe keeps getting jobs.

Crap at Swindon, had 1 good season at Crawley, crap at MK Don's, crap at Crawley second time around. Will be crap at York.

Also seems like a complete bell.
