I know there is something in some rumours. Crookes has been signed for ages according to rumours and it appears to be true. Also McGoldrick and Chase were announced on here before officially confirmed.

This Kite one just puzzles me as lots of posters appear to be saying we have got him, even going so far as putting his name in next season 18 man team sheet lists, yet I can see nowhere on the threads were a reliable poster has confirmed we are in for or have signed him.

Strange

If Tickle wants to leave and we get a fee then I don't see a problem, like you say, he'll be going on our terms.

That was my concern until we played them at home. He largely played that role in that game and was very good, and in theory McRae should be well informed as to how suitable he will be for it.

Chase is a better defender than Dobson.

He did a very good job against us and they looked very dangerous when attacking and moved the ball well. I have no issues with him in that role.

As for McGoldrick, cover for 1, 6 & 7 but nothing more.

Correct, Dobson never did this to anyone:
