That's fantastic news!

Has looked as solid as a rock since he arrived and is the perfect foil for Luke McCullough. Onwards and upwards - just persuade Man Utd to let us have Sam on a permanent after his loan.

Bump...


Surely this is more important that the rights and wrongs of Evans' case etc??

Yep. On a slow day, the Evans discussion provides a topic of conversation but this is fantastic news.

SU wanted double the amount DRFC paid. 50K I am led to believe was paid. ( part 1 of what I was told now true, await parts 2 and 3 to be confirmed or otherwise).

Fantastic news - 1 goal conceded in 4 matches is promotion form (only kidding).
Is there anyone else we want tied up for the rest of the season (apart from Sam)?

Great news. A good leader on the pitch and hence, the defence looked so much better from the moment he arrived.

Thanks WR. Sounds a reasonable price to me.

Am intrigued by parts 2 and 3 - and will wait very impatiently.
