Never heard of Thorpe or Balatoni (mentioned on another thread), although I know of Talbot from Chesterfield. Therefore, based on my experiences of the past 12 months with regards to incoming transfers, I hope we sign the two young defenders. Then again, it also shows I'm an old, forgetful bugger who knows nowt abart football!
If anybody is interested, Tom Thorpe is actually starting for their under-21s, against Man City. It's live on Sky Sports 1 now. He's the captain.
Re: 22 year old from Man U.. http://www.manchestereveningnews.co....thorpe-9219334 That's the first transfer rumour that's got me interested. He would be a bloody unbelievable capture. Man United fans think he's excellent and should be ahead of Blackett and McNair. But if United sign a couple of centre backs he won't get a sniff. He'll be 7th or 8th choice. And at 22 he's not a kid. Seeing as he's not proved it in 1st team football then a top L1(being optimistic!) is a better bet than a bottom championship struggling team. Come on Maurice. Get on blower and pull off a massive coup. Because I'm excited this is exactly why it won't happen! But that Balatoni lad sounds good. Jags fans on their forum think he's decent.
