Good management from Brady re: Jones. Hasn't allowed him to leave us high and dry in the vein of Oliver and Coke. Fully expect Watson to go the same way later in the week.
With Bolger and Sheehan leaving we were always going to need to recruit at least one additional centre back; now we need at least two: a guaranteed starter and leader and a decent back up. (I'm assuming that Brady isn't a fan of 3 at the back from what we've seen so far.)
Horsfall has a lot of potential but he needs to be alongside a dominant leader. I'd like to see us sign one experienced leader like Luke Chambers and one up-and-coming centre back with a bit of pace to provide back up and competition.
Pinnock looks decent enough but I'm wondering why the Dons and Killie let him go. It does make me chuckle a bit that KT made all those noises about a data-based approach but our recruitment so far seems to be based on players that Foyle happened to see play against Motherwell.

Pinnock was offered a new deal by Kilmarnock, but turned it down as wanted to come back to England

LLoyd Jones has indeed signed for Cambridge United.

Actually I'm more interested in Alex Jones teaming up with Pinnock.

Mitch Pinnock looks to have some talent...give him a chance. He's the sort of player who could do it for us!

He's got to get a contract first.

Well, he's been invited to training. He might decide not to come or will get himself fixed up somewhere else.

I liked what I saw of him last season, I think he has potential for L2.

Kilmarnock Forum:- Poster 1 - Pinnock has joined Kabamba at Northampton. Poster 2 - I feel for their fans. Obviously both highly rated, we will judge for ourselves in a couple of months time.

Just read that, the next post says, who the fûck are their agents? Scottish Prem is way better standard than L2 so they maybe ok, I’m not holding my breath though.

According to the Chron we offered L Jones a better contract than Cambridge but he wanted league 1 football.

Am I being a bit nasty if I hope he falls flat on his face?

Me too Sing. We showed him a lot of respect and loyalty by giving him 2 chances to rebuild his career. As soon as he has the upper hand he flips the finger to the club and fans. I guess it’s the way of the world though. It makes us all feel a bit better if it’s all about money but in this case it doesn’t seem to be …. So, as far as I’m concerned, he can rot! Don’t need anyone that don’t need us - so let’s move on

"My three children were born in Northamptonshire so I like to think I'm an adopted Northamptonian and it's the same for Rico and Sammo. It means a lot to us because this is our county.

I liked the look of his show reel - mind you if you wait long enough you’ll fill a 5 minute video of nice football for anyone (excluding all our forwards last year though!!?). A 6 foot plus tricky winger - reminds me of the legendary Josh Low. If he’s half as good as the Welsh wizard he’ll get some hearts beating faster next season at Sixfields!!

So it looks like Danny Rogers will be the goalie.

Agreed. This is sport and having a half hearted want away with Charlie big potato ambitions is worthless. Heart, desire and pride are what you need.
