Matt dean says joining barrow? Surely not? He's looked really good in pre season and we have very few strikers as it is

Complete guesswork but Yussuf out with Walker and Rollins coming in. Tyler Walker probably the striker we've been keeping number 9 for and Rollins to be a direct replacement for Yussuf as he can play both up front and out wide. Slade hasn't seemed keen on Yussuf either last season or in the friendlies and I would imagine Rollins may well be a cheaper alternative to free up money elsewhere

IF there is any truth in this and slade thinks he can get someone better suited to the system,then that's fine by me.

Makes sense, sounded at the time like Bignot signed him after Mickey Moore recommended him, the same Mickey Moore whose just linked up with Cox again at Barrow. Not too fussed, apparently he's looked a bit better pre season but excluding the first couple of games when he scored he didn't look upto it to me..

We want our youngsters to be given a chance, this could be his chance..Yussuf was never going to be used in a sole striking role, only out wide which is where Max plays. Not saying Max is a starter, but somewhere along the line, 1 or 2 of our young kids have to be given a chance in the first team or else whats the point,

He was especially when he got moved further forward into his proper position. The left back marking him asked the ref how long to go, when he got told 14 mins his response was an exasperated "FFS".

Here here. Have to remember not everyone is a "Wayne Rooney" ready to go into the first team at 17/18. Many players are still developing at that age (technically, physically, psychologically) until about 20/21. It's worth us persevering with some young players we see potential in. Especially when next season the rule comes in where you have to have an academy graduate in your squad of 18 otherwise you can only name 6 subs. (The season after that you have to name 2 or lose 2 of your substitute places).

i heard the "FFS" but not the first bit, brilliant. He went at their defenders hammer and tongs, absolutely no fear and turned them more than once. great stuff.

WHY ? Because he's ours, because he's talented, because he's got more bottle than most other kids of his age I've seen at BP for years, he was told by RS to show him what he could do to earn a contract, he's played in nearly every position but his own so far and never let himself or anyone down , he's certainly shown he's worth a deal as far as I'm concerned. Probably only a bencher this season but worth a deal. . That's why.

Dont see it myself. Yeah everyone wants the youth to do well, including me, but if playing well against winterton means you think he's worthy of a contract then think you're barking mad. Not made an appearance in any of the games in the south, Think he got 5 mins against barnsley or blackburn. If slade thought he was good enough, he'd have played a part

In the games he has played so far, he has only played 20 mins in his proper position. I think we would all be doubting danny collins if he was playing on the wing or up front. Mind you that didn't stop mick lyons from doing that did it oops

He probably would have played more of a part if RS hadn't been playing loads of trialists that don't impress and concentrate on his own players that do. I'm not basing him on the Winterton game alone, I'm basing him what I've seen when he's played in all games since he's been with us, ressies, friendlies etc...

Shame but based on pre-season we're planning on playing something along the lines of the 4-2-3-1 that a lot of top flight sides play with Dembele/Jones behind a big striker so he's not gonna get much of a look in.
Could be wrong of course but makes sense with only Vernon, Cardwell and Asante left. Can then maybe bring Jay Rollins in for a natural winger who can play up front if we need a change.

If Yussuf hadn't scored that goal at Hartlepool, they would of stayed up lol.
No, Hartlepool would have been relegated by 1 point instead of 2.

I thought they got relegated by just one point, just checked back and it was two. Nevermind it was the goal difference that was just one point, that will teach me to post without double checking lol.

We were a striker short at least anyway and now we are 2 short, particularly someone with real quality. Until this is rectified i'll be a bit concerned, and this is to say nothing of the fact that we probably now need another centre mid and two left backs.
I like the management team and trust them completely but I'm a bit uneasy.

If Yussuf has gone we must have another striker signed. Im sure this lad will have a good career in the future. Great potential. Good luck to him. Lets see who the management have signed who is better

Totally underwhelmed by the transfer business conducted by us so far. Was really optimistic when RS arrived and thought he would be able to attract some quality signings due to his management pedigree. How wrong I was

The lad is a bit player and he probably will be at Barrow too. That's OK but you can't just keep on and on with bit players. If you had a good striker and he's injured for a few games would you honestly want to put your faith in Yussuf as a replacement or would you be wanting the manager to find someone better on loan? I think that is the problem that Slade inherited. Too many jobbing players good enough to be a short term substitute but not quite good enough to be a regular.

To be honest Yussuf did not look anything special last season think we have done well to get rid and make room for better.

Apparently someone with good pedigree at this level. Not sure who that could be, but revell seems to fit the Bill, having played under slade before too.

Id be happy with that. Got a decent scoring record, very experienced and can play that lone frontman role very well. I'd have thought he'd have gone for someone different to what we already have though. Someone that is fast and mobile- perhaps Assante can be that man though. Does anybody know when he's due back?

Apparently they're hoping he'll be back in september. Beyond revell, I'm not sure who else it can be.

Easy to say now but I felt it would end like this.
Yussuf seemed a fairly unnecessary signing, just like Maxwell was on loan. We didn't need him, and of course Bignot struggled to play him because he signed so many other players, like Asante and Jones, who played up front with Vernon after Bogle left.
I appreciated his efforts while he was here but it only ever felt like a temporary signing. I believe he signed an 18-month deal though. Always thought he'd move on because I got the feeling Slade didn't have him in his plans.
Sadly it's only when he leaves that Fishy posters finally learn to spell his name right. I've seen Youssuf, Yousuf, Yussef and Yusuf over these last few months!

Easy to say now but I felt it would end like this.
Yussuf seemed a fairly unnecessary signing, just like Maxwell was on loan. We didn't need him, and of course Bignot struggled to play him because he signed so many other players, like Asante and Jones, who played up front with Vernon after Bogle left.
I appreciated his efforts while he was here but it only ever felt like a temporary signing. I believe he signed an 18-month deal though. Always thought he'd move on because I got the feeling Slade didn't have him in his plans.
Sadly it's only when he leaves that Fishy posters finally learn to spell his name right. I've seen Youssuf, Yousuf, Yussef and Yusuf over these last few months!
How many Bignot signings did we actually need?

I reckon we only needed 2 of them. Jones and Osborne. Dyson was no better than Vernon, Clements is ok but I would debate that he was any better than Summerfield or Berrett (get your red crosses out). Asante may be a very good acquisition he just needs to stay fit. Maxwell and Yussuf were 2 utterly pointless signings and Gunning I don't know where to start.

Osborne definitely, Jones did well but has actually looked very average in the 2 pre season games I've seen but will come good. Asante the snippets we saw looked decent but I'll be amazed if we get 20 games out of him this term, the rest? Self indulgent "one for the future" purchases that p1ssed away a chunk of the Omar money.

Is Tyler Walker really the answer? Is he the best we can get. Doesn't inspire me as being the answer, just another kid learning his trade.
Suggestion is that there are some more experienced named in the frame...

Same could be said of any manager. Personally I thought on balance his recruitment was good, much better than the general standard of players recruited by Hurst in the last preseason.

I guess it could, well of any manager who brought in as many players as Bignot did when there was already a relatively competent squad. Re quality the difference was Bignot had money, a little at the start of the window due to good attendances and a lot more once the Omar deal was done. If you look at Henderson, Andrew, Mills, Collins they where definite good additions by Hurst but not sure why we signed Berret and Summerfield but I'm still bemused why we signed Asante (poor injury record) Maxwell, Gunning, Youseff and Clements.

What's wrong with Clements? He's not a bad player at all.

Only that's not true because Bogle went about 2 hours before the window shut and the feeling was that he wouldn't be sold until the end of the season. It may have allowed us to offer more to Gateshead for Jones, but that was a very shrewd signing, so well worth whatever we paid for him.

Clearly Omar, His agent, GTFC, Wigan, Leeds and possibly a few others didn't share that feeling.
