I wonder if this is the summer we will finally sign Luke Beckett. Chameleon says yes, but I’m in two minds. And it's about time we finally signed Paddy Madden and Liam Boyce, sort it out Cotterill!!!! What was the name of the ex Sheffield Utd winger whose name used to crop up on a regular basis?

Two names I’ve been told: Greg Leigh (released by Morecambe) and Macaulay Langstaff (Gateshead) Leigh and Langstaff are a good shout.

Can Cotterill get him in the same XI as Romeo Beckham is the question on every Salopian's lips. Barely heard a word on any other topic at The Woodman on Sunday, even when I raised the idea of "an unnamed Liverpool youngster definitely signing soon"

We need to looking at getting some quality long term loans in place, yes youngsters from the likes of Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea would be nice, but also from Championship teams that want their 'almost ready' players to get a bit of real world experience.
With eight loan slots available there is no reason not be getting the ball rolling now and filling at least 4 or 5 before pre-season training starts up.

I think that is extremely unlikely. Cotterill isn't keen on loans and in the entire of last season only signed 5, with only Fornah being a success and that was after Cotterill had no other choice to play him. On top of that why would a premier League club want to loan him a player? Clubs have loan managers now to look after these players - if they spent 5 mins looking at last season they would think again. Leshabela and Bondswell loaned in and managed a grand total of 0 league starts between them, both cutting their loans short early.

I think clubs usually prefer their players to do a pre season with them first before loaning them out so unlikely to happen

You need to revisit loans, they're normally the last transfers that happen as parent clubs will assess them all pre-season and make late decisions on where they go.

He was mentioned in a newspaper article I read a few weeks ago as being one of the players who have had one touch in the Premier league. Apparently he was with Chelsea as a young lad and came on for a couple of minutes in one game and had one touch of the ball!

That is what I seem to remember him being best at.

That is what I seem to remember him being best at. You must be thinking about someone else has he certainly wasn't someone who went down easily. 2 things I fondly remember him by was nearly knocking out that Walsall player with a well aimed free kick, and then cheekily tipping away an opposing goalkeepers water when he was otherwise engaged. Left under a bit of a cloud but a fans favourite in many ways.

Mellon was a bit of a funny one when it came to releasing players. I remember him saying when he allowed Collins to join Crawley"James Collins is not a L1 player. Couple of years later and Collins is playing for Luton in the Championship

From what I've been reading on the Tranmere board most don't think that he's up to being a L2 manager either

A very good player but became far too reliant on winning free kicks. You could predict when he would be 'fouled' and the referee would duly oblige. It might have looked clever but it didnt do us many favours really as we never created any momentum in a game.

You could use that "most fouled player" analogy for Jack Grealish but it doesn't make him a bad player, not that I am comparing the two obviously

I used to call it the Whalley drop
