According to Wiki, Maher has 3 middle names. Must put him right up there in the GTFC number of middle names league table.

Still think we need more in. Pearson looks like he is moving towards the coaching side of things and won’t really be a starter next season. DLK clearly wants away. So we therefore have only Waterfall, Maher and Pearson as senior CB’s


Yeah agreed, think Pearson will be 4th choice. (And won't get to be sub keeper anymore!)

Real good statement of intent to start off with. It's great to be signing players that are on the up on the back of a great season, Niall Maher lead that backline really well and is exactly the kind of defender we need, lots of composure, leadership on the pitch and a good ball player from the back.

Beat off a lot of interest from other clubs so shows what we've achieved as a club and how we are willing to put in the resources to get our man.

Very happy with this. Interesting that it has been announced before any of the existing players. I assume some have resigned, so is this an example to those who are ‘considering their options’ that we are serious about the upcoming season and looking to challenge.

I know he isn’t Ronaldo, but a lot of plaudits, other teams after him and our players would have seen him up close last year.

Not sure if Hull would let him come back here though if he's not going to get regular game time as I reckon our main 2 CB''s next season will be Waterfall and Maher. Unless we start playing with 3 CB's at the back though?

Cracking signing.  Not sure this signals that we won't be going back in for Smith and/or there's another defender in the offing.

Pearson was a bit part player in the fifth tier, it's not likely that he's going to be in Hurst's plans as a starter in the fourth tier.  I think he was brought in for stability and his influence, probably with an eye from both camps on developing into the coaching side of the game.  

Longe-King won't be here.  Not a chance.

Waterfall was immense last season but Hurst will continually look to improve on him and the side overall.  

To my eyes it's Waterfall and Maher as the centre-backs at the minute.

I can't imagine we would sign Smith and then not have him as first choice, regardless if we've gone up a level or not.  He was outstanding once he got a run of games. As good as Waterfall was, Smith made him look even better once they developed an understanding.

There’s no guarantee that Waterfall will re-sign - obviously would prefer him to than not.
