... however I don't agree 100%. There ARE some players down there that are good enough. I suppose the trick is to buy GOOD players, at whatever level, but sadly that is apparently very fecking difficult if you're a recent Leicester manager.

I think he mentioned that in saying we should be after Jarvis of Gillingham.
 
Cheers for the Welcome!

DesertFox, Agree that there are some players at that level that might be able to do a job for us, it’s finding them that’s the problem and to a significant extent finding them is down to luck… so wouldn’t want to risk too much cash on it.

All that said, I think it’s important that as well as looking for “experience” we balance that with younger, positive players, some from the lower leagues (ie.Jarvis) but also perhaps some on loan from the “big” clubs (Merida, Lansbury and Efrem are all Arsenal youth team players who might realistically get farmed out on loan?).

What was the other guy with the double name? Think he got a bad injury,i could see him going out on loan to regain fitness..If only I could remember his name:icon_roll
 
The last League Two winger we got (one who made the team of the year no less) was Josh Low, he was good at that level and utter cack when confronted with Championship football... we'd be idiots to make the same mistake twice! Talk/rumours of bringing in League Two/MK Dons players simply because Allen "knows" them smacks of lazy journalism (at least that's what I’m hoping), especially when silly money is associated with such moves (the £1.5mil tag linked to McLeod was not just laughable... it was scary!).

However that all said I’d be keen on bringing in Jarvis and he’s apparently being very closely linked with us, what’s more he’d shouldn’t cost a vast amount (£250-450k?) and he combines plenty of potential, versatility and a very solid record despite his age.

Agree Mort. I think Jarvis is out of contract though so wouldnt cost that much hopefully. I think he is young enough for Gillingham to claim compensation via a tribunal though. I could be wrong.

Tribunal if failure to agree fee. Same applies to Commons and Jones of Crewe.
