He's good for 20+ Championship goals a season ...... might be able to do a deal for B1500, a couple of washers and Bertha (I've 'eard she's a bit tasty "up front")

Sorry Niggly you weren't quick enough ..... now sky have got hold of it

GAYLE SET FOR EXIT?

Newcastle could be set to offload striker Dwight Gayle before Thursday's deadline - but only if they manage to line up a replacement.

Gayle was left out of the Rafa Benitez's squad on Saturday as both strikers Joselu and Aleksandar Mitrovic scored in the 3-0 win over West Ham.

Despite ending last season as top scorer in the Championship, the 27-year-old has failed to shine in the opening two defeats to Tottenham and Huddersfield and was dropped at the weekend.

Cant believe I am saying this but he isnt good enough to get in our present 1st XI. I just know that its all going t*** up in a few weeks but, let me gloat whilst I can

Things looking rosy for the Vale then .......... PLUS the game against Newcastle U21's to come and with it an attendance nearing 200 (assuming Newcastle bring their 135 fans to that one)

DONE DEAL - FLINDERS TO CHELTENHAM

Cheltenham have completed the signing of experienced goalkeeper Scott Flinders. The 31-year-old has been without a club since being released by Macclesfield at the end of last season.

I am sure Zid will be highly amused..
Not good enough for the Silkmen ???
At least he will get plenty of bending practice at Town..

I can think of quite a few others at the moment who are either feigning injury or just not trying in order to get a move away, so Flinders isn't the first and won't be the last to try that tactic Bob

Flinders had a 2 month loan from York to Macc at the back end of last year and,apparently,was quite good.
He was then released by York at the end of January and signed for Macc until the end of the season.
His second spell was pretty atrocious by all accounts.He replaced Craig Ross as the no.1 keeper and many Macc fans thought Ross was hard done by.
Flinders was released by Macc at the end of the season but Ross was retained,although he decided to join League 2 Barnet instead.
If Cheltenham are budgeting for Conference South football in a couple of years then I'd say Flinders is a pretty shrewd acquisition !

Yeah.... that's what concerned me too..

Leeds have signed striker Pierre-Michel Lassoga on a season-long loan from Hamburg.

He will wear the No 9 shirt at Elland Road.

21:30 DONE DEAL

Matt Sandoz Stoke City commentator, BBC Radio Stoke

Port Vale have signed 23-year-old centre back Tom Anderson on a season-long loan from Premier League side Burnley. The Vale manager Michael Brown may still further strengthen his squad before tonight’s deadline. Anderson is Brown’s 18th signing of the summer.

Good grief valiant, you can't complain that Vale haven't done any business..
Quality might be a different issue, but Anderson looks a good signing for you..

There was another striker signed up earlier - Pawel Cibicki from Malmo. That's 3 young strikers signed up and still £10m left from selling Wood. Good business in my opinion. MoT

No Championship or EPL matches this weekend due to the international break but some of the teams we love are in action.....

Billericay v Didcot Town
Abbey Hey v Altrincham
AFC Mansfield v Dunkirk
City of Liverpool v Nantwich Town
Hadley v FC Romania
Tividale v AFC Rushden & Diamonds (Football League outfit not so long ago)

The romance of the FA Cup

Cheltenham Town 0 1 Stevenage
Port Vale 0 1 Notts County
Wycombe Wanderers 3 1 Forest Green Rovers
Macclesfield Town1Woking
FC United of Manchester 1 2 Leamington

Despite their fine start to the season The Iron are, surprisingly, only 4th. in the League - still, better that end than the other!!
Mentioning the other.... the bottom 3 of League 2 are..

Things can only get better P.V.F.C.

The Irons great start to the season continues UNBEATEN and an away win yesterday at Bury move them up to 4th in the table as Bob confirms.. a cracking Josh Morris free kick sent the traveling 2000 Scunny fans into deliria ..

Elsewhere things looking bleak for some of our other much loved teams ..

Up The Iron ...claret n blu all way thru..
