Good signing and one for the future me thinks although someone on the telegraph comments page doesn't seem to think so

So we sign a scouser from a nonleague team that has Coleman connections, worked out well with Paddy Lacey last season didn’t it? Also we spent money on him, regardless of if it’s just a nominal fee it is a waste.
We all know the team week in, week out regardless of form, fitness or results barring injury or suspensions will be: New/loan netter, Pearson (if we can keep him), Hughes, Beckles, Donacien, McConville, Conneely, Brown, Clark, McCarten, Kee.
Holt doesn’t have limitless funds, look at wages that went to nothing last year, it doesn’t matter how little they were on, for the limited chances they were given it adds up, Wall, Hazeldine (not given a fair chance for all the management talked him up), Hewitt, Eagles (again Port Vale got a tune out of him at a higher level), Gary Taylor Fletcher, Hery, Parish, Chapman, McKeown, not to mention the wasted loans Jones, Edwards, O’Sullivan (just hampered Clark’s progress when all is said and done).
Fair play to McCarten for International recognition but the sad truth is while it may raise the profile of the club and his market value a bit teams in our league play during International breaks so we will be without one of our better perfumers for up to eight matches the coming season.

can't please everyone
