There's no news of incoming players because the window isn't open yet. The team was not built around Whitfield and, believe it or not, there are other players out there.
Don't let the old man in.

They seem to be signing anyone who has played for Stockport in the last few seasons

🤔Well the transfer window has just been officially opened and so far it looks like I have two flies and a moth in my bedroom. If this carries on it will soon be getting shut again I’ll tell ya😦
No transfer fee involved in each transaction.

He is a one trick pony a winger and that is it. Tried at wing back and in a front two and disappointed IMO. If you don't play with two wingers he is surplus to requirements. Stockport found that out and let him go. We need players who can produce in more than one system

He was out of contract and a free agent.

Lots of decent players are out of contract and free agents. The majority of players we are likely to sign will be free agents. Doncaster have signed 6 already and many others in our league have also signed several players.

Very harsh that. He isn’t a striker and he isn’t a wing back, still a very good player at this level. Who knows whether we might play 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 this season in which case he’d have been a massive asset?

Had some very good games for us, I think he was put on the back burner by Wild towards the end of last season. Sorry to see him leave to be honest. Best of luck with the rest of your career Ben.

Well if the new gaffer wants George Ray back he is still available. He has not had any discussions with any other team yet!!!!

If he's playing a flat back 4 you can't afford 2 slow central defender's!

We've got forwards Dom Telford, Ged Garner, Emile Acquah & Katia Kouyate to strike fear into any league 2 defence nothing to worry about just let the new management get on with it.

He wanted a 2yr deal by all accounts, so that won't happen

We haven't a clue whether Kouyate will be good or bad but I can't see the other 3 striking too much fear into any defence. I'd be more than happy if Telford and Garner were both moved on before the season begins because if they are going to be the basis of our strike force then we will be in serious trouble!
