Already signed, just before the biggest game in their history. Doubt it, but if it is true, everyone will be frowning at him next season, won't do you guys much good.
I'd leave it a couple weeks if I were your chairman.

pre contract i expect and will sign after the play off final...... he has helped witht the retained list and cleared out 17 players ready for his return.......

I have had this confirmed to me on tuesday and was told not to say anything by my source. I was told it was a solid contract and he is coming regardless of whether Torquay go up or not. He was also the one who instructed the board who to release also.

I was also told that Exeter are interested in Danny Coles and that we are trying to sign Jamie Cureton in an exhange deal.

Gary Penrice is also coming back to the club in a coaching capacity.

all sounds good..............

We'll have one of the shortest strike forces in the league!

I'm sure Penrice will be good for bringing the kids on though.

If thats true about Penrice then I am well happy. Also if thats true about Coles then I am happy about that too. His wages are too high for us. That will free up more wage budget for the manager. Not sure about Cureton coming back though. Rather have Jason Robers back.

No chance of that happening this coming season of course but he did say that he wants to come back to us, didnt he?

Rory Fallon's useful, but he probably doesn't want to play in League 2.

Not Jamie cureton please no!!! We need someone with a few more seasons left in them.

I don't mind as long as they can get us up at the first attempt.

A 35 year old who got 17+ goals last season at L1 level would certainly get 20+ at L2 level for the next 2 years at least and would be great to have as a squad player for the younger players.

In L2 experience is better than youth. Just look at Lester for Chesterfield.

No we need to build a team that will get us up and compete in L1. That means getting a strike force that will learn from each other and develop the sixth sense of each other etc. JC was good and ok 17 goals but he is not our answer.

Think we need to look towards new players rather than looking to old legends (not that id turn down Jason Roberts!).

p.s. amazing you can even post before 9am

Old legend or not he is still a 20 goal marksman with one locker full of experience. He's looked brilliant for Exeter this year and dropping down a league will only highlight his qualities even more.

I think it would be a mistake not to sign him. Both top scorers in L2 this year were 30ish+ proving that being young doesnt guarantee you promotion out of this league. We havent had any proper experience for years aside from Campbell and we could do with a couple of old wise heads.

i agree he is a must for next season.....................
