I thought that Lee Turnbull had been brought in to scout and recommend players proven at our level, .
So....., why then go for unproven kids from Middlesbrough. Names mentioned haven't pulled up trees anywhere they have been. Although there have been some successes, as named, these are across a period of 30 years.
I think he's just saying that he'll be putting Boro and his own players first when considering loans. Which is fair enough.What would appear to be a "hardening " of Chris Wilders attitude towards loaning players to Pools may yet scupper any plans Spike has in that direction.
Yep. The desperate need for a centre forward has been obvious since the season's start and all the right noises were made about funds being available in the January window but the silence is deafening. One would have thought a transfer deal or two would have been sorted and ready to go as soon as the transfer window opened (given the clear and obvious need) but not a bit of it. Other clubs have been signing players but for Pools it seems to be an impossible task. I think you are right, OP. We'll wait till the 31st January and then sign a 17yr old on loan from Boro.Anyone else think Pools will make a lot of noise about making signings during the Transfer Window, but that at the end of the day there'll not be any, significant, additions to the squad?
According to the Mail and Northern Echo, Pools are about to sign Marcus Carver a striker from Southport!
