The Ziggers? That was soooooo long ago.

Definitely, make him train and attend all the games. Don't let him sit at home.

Wonder if he will be their first choice or a bench warmer, but as others have said good luck to the lad.

Apologies - now corrected.

It says on the Cheltenham website the figure was reached after protracted negotiations. This suggests we didn't give him away.

It could be that clubs will come in near the end of the transfer window, out of desperation.
