According to the Adver site, some national papers have said we will sign him.

If this is the same player, interesting that he broke his foot while at Barnsely.  How is it that players go to Barnsley and break their feet?

[Dazzza]

I like the sound of him, few mixed reports but no nonsense utility man that grabs a few goals to boot.

Will certainly add some depth to the squad.

Any word on those trialists?  Itching to know who the Senegalese player was.

[Dazzza]

Think it may have been....

im confused as i think there might be two players with this name! some people are talking about a guy from tranmere with the same name!
hope this does not mean smith wont be signing?

[Dazzza]

There are three Gary Jones's about.

Midfielder at Tranmere
Midfielder at Rochdale
Striker at Hucknall Town

Not seen News of the Screws yet so any word chaps on which one?

[Crozzer]

According to ESPN the Tranmere (Nottingham Forest) Gary Jones is a forward (back up striker).

Seen the Screws and it's the Tranmere chap.

Solid but not spectacular, nearly moved on late in the last season only to break his toe.
The one thing about him though that used to amaze me is that when he used to jump for the ball, players over a foot shorter would beat him.

glady..although a local lad and a decent servant to the club the man is frustratingly slow and your great grandmother has more spring when challenging for a header. His ability at one on ones is the worst i've ever seen and he is currently low on confidence..good signing

totally agree with whats just been said in the last 2 message`s.. his best best spell 4 us was when he played centre half!

Not good enough for us in the end.Although tall Gary couldn't beat someone half his size in the air.And hasn't got much skill either,also he runs like hes got a car strapped to each leg.Gary's main point is his versatility!

Thats about it-however he was a good servant and played 350 plus games(i think) for the Super whites

Player profile, no mention of being able to play as back up goalkeeper (he plays everywhere else).

As he hasn't played for Barnsley, broken foot is not applicable.

He sounds awful!!

(Better than Hoolett clearly though!

6'3", 14 stone, it looks like Matt Heywood has been replaced, or maybe not!

Impact at Forest was not great.

So, anyone think that Rory Fallon will be on his way.

According to trannies, as I posted on another thread (I forget which) despite being 6'3" he is cack in the air and is slower than a week in prison.
