2 September 2008

Alan Buckley revealed to the local rag yesterday the only area of his team he wasn't looking to strengthen was in goal. At the end of transfer deadline day, Javan Vidal finally arrived from club-of the-moment Manchester City (a merry-go-round ultimately costing Idle Diary 75p in official club text messages, although no-one really seems bothered), Buckley noting the player is "a defender first and foremost but very adaptable and strongly recommended by people at City." Peter Bore left for an initial month's loan with York City, the Town manager putting right suggestions Bore could be off full-time and drawing comparisons with Nick Hegarty's loan at the same club last season: "[Hegarty] came back a different player after his time at York and we are hoping the same can happen to Peter. We'll be keeping a watchful eye on his progress but hopefully he can go and prove his undoubted potential." Neil Woods has finally got international clearance for American Dallas Moore to play in the Town youth set-up. And, finally, Buckley tells us that Martin Butler arrived too late at Sincil Bank to be named in the side. Roy Keane wouldn't have bloody stood for that.
