do we keep signing players that are in the twilight of their careers, even if they have a career left. Good luck to Gary but the guy has hardly played in 2 years and we are pinning some hopes on him !!! Quite simply we cannot be spending much money at all on strengthening the team, this was all to obvious right at the beginning of the season. We are still a train crash waiting to happen even with a new manager in charge. The top tier of the club is rotten and despite getting a good new prospect of a manager in, without the tools, Jolley like many before him will be powerless. I personally think we will get ripped to pieces tomorrow, some of our key players are too old and I suspect we will once again be exposed all over the park tomorrow. Would love to be proved wrong, but I will be amazed if we leave Sincil Bank with anything less than a two goal deficit defeat. Bring on those red crosses, but 16 games tells its own story.

Why don't we just treat individual players on merit and give him a few games before judging? He might turn out to be an inspired, decisive signing. How about that?

It’s not like there’s a plethora of young players out of contract waiting to be signed.........what do we have to lose, he’s very experienced and might just provide what we need. UTM

I would suggest that it is because MJ has realised that Slade had left him with a largely crap squad and to try to improve it we can at this time only sign out of contract players.

Look on the brightside .... Jolley (if he is still here in the Summer) will have a virtual clean sheet to start with as only a few players remain under contract for next season. Jolley moved very quickly to bring a replacement left back into the building as that was an obvious weakness. He has also quickly identified there is an issue of quality in the final third, now as he can only work in the short term for now on a relatively closed market, then on paper McSheffreys ( ) looks like he can add quality, i certainly don't think we are looking to build a team around him for the next 3-4 seasons are we ? Another old (34) ex Scunny and out of contract player Paul Hayes was taken up earlier in the season by Newport and he has chipped in with a few goals for them...a similar return would be very welcome.

The question is HOW. How have we arrived at the stage where we are completely stifled in our transfer choices, and have a tiny pool of talent available, mainly older unattached players. The answer is SLADE.
Seems a decent signing to me, I'm sure he's convinced MJ that he's not just here to sit on the bench.

If he can improve the quality of the balls into the box, can set up some chances and take good free kicks he will do for me for a few weeks. Let's be honest the options are limited at this stage in the season. Credit MJ for trying to do something to add to the squad.
