Danny Grainger is now training with Carlisle

Not surprised, how could he ever take the place of young Higginbotham, consistent hill (bad) and the Marauding Williams, the guy had no chance LOL

Dont know why people always have a pop at Hill fair enough he's no Roberto Carlos but is a solid enough defender

Admitedly, he's not as bad as Williams or the old head Higginbotham, but I don't think he's not good enough, either as a full back or centre back. Reserve to cover both positions from the bench, that is all.

Personally I think hill's the worst of the three, he's godawful - williams is no great shakes and higginbotham is past it - nowhere near as bad as hill though, really dislike him as a player

Moët wrong with hill get off his back

Must admit I know very little about the crop of youngsters about to fight for a first team shirt. Any of them left backs, or at least able to play there, so we can get rid of one or 2 of those mentioned above?

Er. McGinty and Johns for a start?

Blackpool have offered kevin mcdonald of sheffield united a contract but looks like he's stayin where he is at the moment, a few others also interested

How can he be offered a contract? He has a year left on his contract and the club can extend it by a year

How can they offer him a contract when he isn't even their player surely they come to agreement with United first then contract negotiations take place?

I live in Leeds and a few Leeds fans I know seem to think mcdermott wants him too. They reckon 400k and Michael brown into the deal

Leeds offer is meant to be either 400k plus Michael brown or 300k plus Michael tonge. Mcdermott not keen on either of those players, they're too old fashioned for himm

What a stupid post to old fashioned how can a football player be to old fashioned

I would have a fan play in Mcdonald's place and porter's would give more then them two put together. McDonald to big for his own boot's needs to come down to earth he is not that good at all. and porter what can I say bad, poor,
non league

He means prehistoric like a certain managerial candidate called us.

Yeah but that candidate said our facilities weren't up to scratch and our training methods were prehistoric as well. forgive me for pointing out the obvious we have just been awarded level two status and turned out some noteworthy players over recent years. How many players of note has that manager had anything to do with? Answer NONE

Lets be honest, who the hell is graham arnold, so he managed Australia, but what has he actually done that is worth knowing, guarentee most people hadnt heard of him before he called us prehistoric, he is just a football nobody with a big ego, he probably got turned down for job and felt asthough he may lose his job at mariners if they thought he wanted it and was rejected, so got the first dig in with the media

McDonald is class but I would take brown back anyday! what a player what a guy. Need him back asap. he is are answer to championship football.

Arnold wanted half a million a year and got annoyed when it wasn't given to him

I've heard we're interested in John cofie being he's a free agent now.

Wouldn't have him, far too lazy

I wasn't interested in him when he played for us - can't see us wanting him back. Come off it!

He was quick I suppose, but he's got a way to go before I'll believe he's good enough

He wasnt very goot last time, but him, brandy and murphy may be good in a 433

We're not going to be playing that way - see Cresswell's comments in the Star - we'll be playing with an extra midfielder - meaning only 1 up front.
