Wasn’t Festus Arthur supposed to undertake this role last season?

I thought he was supposed to be a centre/right back but I could be wrong. Totally different beasts if you ask
Me Solomon comes with a gleaming report from
Every manager and teams he’s played for.and even more from those he’s played against.

Welcome Solomon
If you put the hard yards in then the fans will support you. Our club is about effort and passion.
Pete wild has seen this lad play and taken stock. He must be v good.
Maybe with Ollie at the back of midfield with gotts, Stevens and Rooney forward?

Not seen anything official but there is a very strong rumour on the Chesterfield forum and as with ours a split opinion for and against his signing.

I suppose everyone has a price and given he signed a new contract in January you'd expect a fee to be involved

I think the pay rise he got would encourage the club to let him go ; he don’t fit with the Messiah.

The rumours probably all stemmed from this interview;- https://youtu.be/Au5940HW-Gw A very worthwhile listen to as you get a true insight into Ollie Banks the person and how football and his father shaped his life. Also speaks fondly of Paul Cook.
Ollie has obviously still got an affinity to Chesterfield but he’s still our player and was head and shoulders above most in the team for two thirds of the season eventually suffering from lack of form yellow carditis or personal issues, who knows.
I genuinely hope he stays with us and goes on to repeat his better form of last season with us again next season.

I’d like to see Banks stay next season. Good footballer and as above was one of our best players in the good bits of the season. Even pulled a few half decent shifts at centre half.

Was tremendous against Bradford away last season. A Beckenbauer type role. Best player on the pitch

Banks is a footballer and from what I saw last season I would play him in the back three from where he can set moves off and get our possession stats up,played there against Bradford away and was excellent and think it will suit him playing in that position and is good at using the ball long or short
