Here's a novel idea. Why don't we wait till the squad is assembled and played at least a handful of competitive games before we start getting on a downer??

Too late for that !!

I think the club are just buying some time for Turner. Perhaps Gentle thinks he can make him into the centre we need.

Interestingly Bomber spoke highly of Turner on sky the other week..Personally I hope the kid can develop further.

Totally agree.

I also think it is insulting to Mr Pearson/Barmby who's hard earned cash has finally got rid of all the people who were holding the club back, including JT I was told today

JT?

The hysteria over this signing is nothing short of ridiculous.

One poster has been 'hysterical'. Maybe two. Hyperbole and exaggeration doesn't help.

Get a grip! It's one signing!

I'll happily retract that comment if we get a quality signing(s) in, but Tony Martin is hardly filling me with confidence for next season. At the moment, we need Seymour or Ellis to have a big impact, or Gentle to get the best out the current lot, otherwise I can't see us doing anything more than this season.

Also, whilst some are saying (read: hoping) it is like the Domic signing, I think it's more like the Michael Eagar one.

Do you think Martin will spend most of his time out injured ?
His playing record suggests otherwise although it could always happen I guess.

I think Barmby put the money up for Pearson.


Might not have done but it makes an interesting story anyway so i ran with it
