A mate of mine is a plymouth fan who lives in the south west, he reckons we are being linked with Torquay striker Rene Howe. Not seen anything on Torquays fans forum....

Rene Howe is leaving Torquay to move up north I think, not sure if he'd consider us up north. On another note, Cody McDonald has been told he can leave Coventry. Only ever performed at Gillingham really, which means he won't be totally cheap but he hasn't repeated that form anywhere else which means he shouldn't be that expensive. Could be worth a 1 year punt in the Brandy mold with a second year if the club wish to take up the option.

I'd be very happy if rene how came. I'd like to see some signings coming in next week. I'm still clinging onto the hope of westcarr and Grigg signing

No. He had all the movement of a donkey at our place last season, and was rightly substituted at half time. Oxford is about his level now.

Agreed.

Completely the wrong type of player and personality for the squad Smith is building.

Deano said in the E&S today that he is a list of targets "as long as your arm" and has already got a Goalkeeper and Center forward ready to go to T&T, but wants their names hidden. My guess is O'Donnell and Howe.

Whoever they are, they'll probably nab the all expenses paid trip to Trinidad, before coming back and signing for Brentford.

The keeper will be O'Donnell, the striker won't be Howe. I'm not sure we'd pay his wages and I don't think a player as recognised as he is in the lower leagues would get away with training and trialing on a teams foreign tour without being known. A player of recognised lower league name, would not be going on trial with Walsall FC, we'd either sign him or not. The striker is probably a lad like OSJ from the local non league area, somone in the mold of Rudy Torres.

Notts Forest now interested in Jamie Paterson too according to a journalist from the Guardian on Twitter...

RT @DTguardian Little transfer snippet: #NFFC strong interest in Walsall winger Jamie Paterson. #HTAFC already had bid turned down.

They're a club who would realistically pay what we want.

Are they? A few of their fans were talking about admin a few weeks ago, they don't have much to play with in terms of cash to pay.

Damien Batt signed on a 2 year deal for Leyton Orient on Monday, Barry Hearn tweeted him asking for his number.
