That must be Thommos's "unexpected offer" then. Makes some sense for them to have an old head there, bit of a gamble on his fitness though.
Kyle Perry sounds like a bloke. Hope we can see the best of him this season.

He'll get a "warm" reception when he plays in the local derby.

Thomas has a strong presence and I am sure would have continued to be a good influence on our club - but his mobility and fitness issues are not going to get any better. So not too disturbed by this.
I also see that Dan Nti made it into the National league Team of the Year? A bit flattering perhaps, but you would think a quite a few sides will be keen to pick him up if he doesn't re-sign for us.

Blimey! That'll go to his head and I guess it'll do something for his bargaining power.

I think people underestimate how good Dan is. People are saying they wouldn't be sad to see him go but I think any replacement would be vastly inferior.
Feel like this might be the summer he makes the move to full time football though. 23 now so time ticking on, and I can't believe he won't have had offers.

Daniel in my eyes is or can be a great player, 1 if he gets the right players around him, & if he wants to do it, i love him at his best but get very frustrated when he cannot be bothered, as the last 6 or so games last season... i really think Daniel is not giving enough for bigger teams to take an interest, i think he is holding off & hope to get a nod from somewhere & if not will sign for us, hope we get him with the right deal on wages, but would not pay him big...

Sam Minihan has decided to move on and not accept the offer made to him by the club.

Loads of clubs up near Rochdale within half an hour drive, could be staying in National North or dropping to Northern Prem, but he won't have difficulty finding a club up there. Hopefully some more positive squad news this week, Carl mentions 3 potential new squad additions so would be nice to get some on board before pre-season. Seems a different tactic to last year judging by the signings so far, 4 signings, all know the National League. Last year we were going for a mix of ex-league Pro's and lower non-league players.

Whilst everything behind the scenes is rather terrible thanks to last night - some nicer news is that Shaun Donnellan has moved to Stevenage on loan until January - nice to be able to say we have played our part in helping another youngster move up the ladder.

An absolute player, he played a more than significant part in helping us avoid the drop last year. Good luck to him next season, won't be long before he makes it into the WBA team if he keeps developing. I also see Ashley Vincent has joined Sutton Coldfield Town in the Northern Premier after being released by Stourbridge. He was utter shite, baffles me how he was playing League football before he came to us last year.

Thank God for that, we were looking really thin on the ground in central midfield...

Also forgot forgot to mention Dean Waldron I would think Carl now needs to add some width and pace up front.

What a s**tty manager we've got, leaving new signings while we worry about next season's squad....... I'm surprised there wasn't more 'calls for his head'....... Well done Mr Healey

It gets so boring doesn't it Jim? All these non-league football experts who couldn't manage a curry let alone a football team. I wouldn't mind betting that the same people were saying "good signing" about Rowe and Campion last season. The truth is that no-one has a clue, not even the management, they don't know if a move is going to work out or not, and you just can't make any real judgement until after 5 competitive games, thats what makes things interesting, particularly at this level, where half the team probably won't still be there come New Year, but who knows which half? Thesecondjack is the new Andy Bullock!

'It gets so boring doesn't it' - I find Big Brother boring, so I don't watch it!
Nobody here has claimed they are any authority on signings, we're just people who (might) want to express their thoughts. There's nothing wrong with having an opinion on signings. You're right - they could turn out terrible - they could turn out to be amazing. I'll be the first to admit that on paper I thought Rowe was an inspired signing - something I quickly changed my mind on having seen him play. That said, there's not really been any opinion on these two players at all (beyond someone pointing out the keeper has a long journey for games), and I haven't said on here what I think of either of the two signings that were announced yesterday - most certainly not Fitzpatrick as I've only seen him play in one game - most haven't even done that. You'll have to look back to the beginning of June for any real opinion pieces on this thread.
Brooksider is the new Jem Pitt!

The banter has started: the new season must be approaching!
I think the post above from Mark was pointing out the correct spelling of Heeley: anyone who can't spell the manager's name ought not to be posting opinions on here.
