I can definitely say he will not be signing for us.

Glad to hear this, nothing more than a Dominic Green type. Had half a decent season for Southend signed for Peterborough and has done nothing since.

As the budget is presumably tight and the manager has confirmed he wants a centre back and a central midfielder I hope it stops any more rumours about McClean

Bit more than rumours when he's played in 2 games. If we weren't interested we wouldn't take him on trial surely?

Players train with clubs just to stay fit.

Indeed, it could just a case of the "Frazer Toms". Aaron's from Romford too, I believe.

Course he could be training with us to stay fit, but when he's playing games and that playing time could be given to Yusuff instead, I'd say we're interested in signing him. Wouldn't be against it personally.

Richards looks like it's gonna happen. Conor Clifford was on trial the other night, Barnet fans were unhappy to see him leave apparently, haven't seen a lot of him to have a real opinion though, anyone know what he's like?

What is the logic in signing McClean when we don't have the apparently essential CB or CM signings sorted that the manager feels we need?? Though we were skint as always

Difference being that McLean is good even if he is a shit bag.

No good having all these forwards if there's no midfield to give them the ball.

Just an aside but CMS has signed for Luton!

So much for us signing anyone today then :/

Leave it till as late as possible and we can save a weeks wages being paid. That's right, a while £20!

They're cutting it very fine to appear in the team photo.

McClean signs for Barnet.

Bugger... McClean will score goals. Looked sharp in the games he did play with us.
