Re: Graham Branch signs
Great signing! Can play anywhere according to my Burnley supporting mate at work. Not the quickest of players, though!

Re: Graham Branch signs
Personally I would rather us sign an experienced centre half. Maybe that is to come. We had the worst defence in the league last season but we don't seem to have strengthened it, possibly weakened it with Antwi and Welchy leaving.

Re: Graham Branch signs
I would say my only dissapointment in the close season is not getting Antwi back.. But I don't think the club could have got him under any deal and I don't think it's there fault.. he had a seson with us. now a season at a higher club and maybe a season after that even higher.. he is destined for the top.

Is Roberts not an experienced centre-half?

Do you call a 24 year old who has only played seven football league games (the last on in February 2006) an experienced centre half ? I don't.
My point is that we have lost two centre halves and a full back, we have replaced one centre half only. Last season we had the worst defencive record in the league, surely we should be concentrating on bolstering the defence, but time will tell, I hope Coley has an ace up his sleeve.

From what I've been told he is quite quick for a big fella.....I remember a couple of years ago when he played for Burnley Res at the FES and scored an absolute belter! Hope for more of those this season. IMO very good signing, experienced, can play in every position, big and strong and knows where the goal is.

I'd say we need 3 more signings, an experienced centre half....(John Mcgreal??) he's available after his release from Burnley, a winger and another striker?

I agree we need at least one more centre half - just thought you had forgotten about Roberts!

You wouldn't have said Antwi was an experienced centre half, either, but we all know how good he was. Has Coley unearthed another gem? I wouldn't bet against it!

Re: Graham Branch signs
Could turn out to be yet another astute signing by Coley. With the exception of a certain Mr Grant all the other vastly experienced players Coley has brought in have performed admirably. Onwards and upwards !

Wouldn't go that far, we did sign Gordon Armstrong you know

However signing Branch seems like good sense, we needed a left footed player & Branch can fill in many positions. Well done Coley.

Re: Graham Branch signs
A Good signing, will fill a variety of roles but is probably best suited to left wing, always gives 100% through the up's and downs a very good aquasition!!
