Sounds like we are very close to signing Aldershot striker Wade Small - must be the replacement for Charlie Austin?  BBC Wilts believe fee to be in region on £40k.

Anyone know if he's any good?  I've checked & he's scored a few goals lately, but hasn't done much previously.

Just had a look on their forums & can't see any mention of this yet, but seems like breaking news according to BBC Wilts.  I would rather we signed Morgan from them to be honest, although their fans seem to really hate him now! soapy tit wank.  They've also got rid of a young striker to Wimbledon.  Mass clear out there then!!!

Didn't Small play for Wilson at MK?

That sounds like reinforcement signing to me.

Wade Small was fucking shit.

Disappointed if true

I'm thinking we might play him on the wings. He's a small player if I remember correctly. I think he played for Wednesday and prior to that Franchise, I'll check that up.

From memory - he's usually a wide man isn't he? I think he's as a bit um... small to lead the line. Unless I'm thinking of someone else.  

Wade small started his career at Wimbledon F.C academy and made his first team debut in 1-0 defeat against Coventry in October 2003. In the 115 games Small played he spent most of his time as a midfielder but has been known to play as a striker.

If he is a striker it would be unlikely Aldershot would want to sell, considering theyve got to get rid of Marvin 'I will kill you' Andrews?

Marvin Morgan!

What an underwhelming signing if true

Wilson did say a few days ago that this is the type of signing we have to expect. Experienced lower-league players. Nothing wrong with that, but this signing doesn't pull up any trees.

One important point. He was available on a free in the summer after being released by Chesterfield, and went to Aldershot. If we pay cash for him it will be terrible business I reckon

A decent squad player maybe?  Looks like everyone wants out down there, any promising youngsters available??

Mainly a Right Midfielder, looks like a signing to give JPM a kick up the backside or it could mean JPM on his way out.

Hmmm.

Sorry, didn't realize it was a competition

7!, 8 now.....!

Wow 16 posts in and no one's said it...  pretty decent on FM!

Wouldn't be too unhappy with this signing, although width isn't really a priority at the moment....  maybe a replacement for Ball(ocks)?

I thought we would look at players that would not be out of place in the lower reaches of the championship, sounds a bit of a starnge signing but Wilson must know what he's looking for

That should sum up our transfer policy in one, along with buying players who will only grow in value. I'm sure both Fitton and Wilson have stated this before.

This does not seem to be a Fitton/Wilson signing at all and, therefore, I smell bullshit (hopefully)

Exactly. if he was early twenties then I could understand it. But he's 27 in a month. Doesn't seem to fit any of our transfer policies.

Not sure what Small offers that Mark Marshall or Macklin didn't offer.

Why would it be bullshit if BBC Radio Wiltshire reported in their sports Bulletin today?  Admittedly they've been wrong on occasions but they must of got their info from somewhere

A goal threat?

I wouldn't have thought Marvin Morgan could cut it at League 1 level. Scored 16 in his best season in L2. Big and gangly and did score a beaut against us earlier this season (30 yards, in off the post), but he's unlikely to be a consistent scorer in L1 if his past form is anything to go by.

Seems like a bit of a bits and pieces player who Wilson knows and understands what he can offer: a very different style of winger to JPM, but I can't see why we'd be looking to pay money for him, unless there's a fee on the table for JPM and it's bigger.

Sounds good enough can play both wings and upfront we already have a team of first teamers and the only one whos a natural right midfielder/winger is jpm who could be on his way.

Based on what? I'm not one for running down lads before they've had a chance but looking at his recent transfer activity it seems most clubs would deem him not good enough for this level, not the top of L2, hence his release from Chesterfield and subsequent signing for one of the smaller paying clubs in L2.

Isn't he a bit of a Mark Marshall? I.E. Pace to burn, a bit of skill, but not a lot else for a team whose prospects are to be a Championship side? I could be (and am most likely) wrong!

 Do I remember Wade Small scoring against us for MKD a few years back at that hockey ground, Daisy Duke was erm muscled off the ball by Wade, well more inexplicably fell over , and he went on and slotted....or I might be thinking of someone else.

Wouldnt say they fit in with that signing culture either tbh though

Indeed it was Wade....Grunt Sniff missed a pen in added on time...cunt

Pacy player from what I have seen of him, not the biggest lad so won't bring a physical aspect to the side. A slightly better Mark Marshall.

now why the hell didnt Super Sammy take  it?

Good question...had he missed one just previously so didn't fancy it?  Sniff was on a roll at the time.

Not that, just suprised any Swindon fan would want average squad fillers.

Is this actually confirmed? Bit of a strange one but we do need competition for JPM to be quite honest.

Well, I've know idea who Wade Small is, I have never seen him play football and indeed I would not know him if he walked up to me in the street and punched me in the face. I do however think this is a terrible signing and shows a complete lack of ambition by The Board and is yet another example of their complete and utter competence. It is also final and conclusive proof that Wilson has lost the plot....and so on and so forth.

To put it another way he must be mad as well.




Anagrammatically speaking.

Perhaps someone misheard and we are in fact signing Wade Elliot and Gladstone Small.

I fucking despise Wade Elliot.

I remember a Bournemuff fan kept telling me that Elliot had hardly touched O'Halloren despite us all hearing the snap.

Fuck me...if we have got him lets give him a chance >:(

Can't believe he only got booked for that. I swear you could see Keith's leg pointing all sorts of directions underneath the blanket that was covering him on the stretcher.

Come on Leefer..you know that's not the TEF way ::)

Brilliant :D

Neville got so excited he's been rendered speechless  :)

Hoo fucking ray.

Nah fucking Neville.

Dont you start..

Don't read the Beckham post then...

Not that I would anyway but thanks for the heads up in case I accidentally click.
