McCann on latest incomings

[Chris Black come back]

If you were only relying on rumours in the media then the wide player would be Joe Grey, keeper would be Lo-Tutala and the centre back a loanee from a Premier League side.

Could be some truth in the Joe Grey we would have to pay compensation for him plus we’ve had some good business with Hartlepool. Also I imagine Copps keeps his ear to the ground that way not far from where he was playing

[Danmckay456]

The keeper definitely is Him , also McCann has admitted we have had an offer accepted from a premier league side for a defender

[Chris Black come back]

I also don’t believe we would start the season with just a single Premier League loanee. That would likely make us an outlier in League One. If we do end up with more than the defender then there really will have to be some departures. Could be just the younger lads on loan or Close and / or Westbrooke.

The Joe Grey rumour has resurfaced on Twitter from the Hartlepool side. We’d be taking a real punt here wouldn’t we? Doesn’t appear to have pulled up any trees in the National League, although he has played a lot of games for his age which is something.

A bit of wild speculation, but could the CB be Rhys williams from Liverpool. Out on loan at Morecambe last year, one of their better players per the Morecambe forum?

Interesting shout. In the last year of his contract and likely to leave… in theory it would be nice to see us buy a player that we could develop rather than loan someone to develop for another club.

Let's not forget premier league clubs now includes Leeds

Mate of mine is a longtime Pools ST holder and seems to think we are in for Grey and sent me this
“ Grey came through the ranks of the  famed  Wallsend boys club (Shearer, Gazza  Carrick  and a heap more).
 Not the tallest plays out wide or up front. Can be a handful.
22 yr old and has played well over 100 games and has an eye for goal. Works his socks off.
Should be playing in the football league.
Currently out of contract but we would still get a smaller fee as came through our youth set up.
Dave Challoner at Stockport a big fan of Grey.”
