Yep I've seen the interview on United Player, sounds as if there's just one or two bits of paperwork to be sorted, think he said ideally they'll announce it today if not asap after that.

Right back. Fits in with Curle speaking to somebody in Sheffield. If so, possibly an indication that either Miller or McQueen won't be signing?

Oldham fans seem to think it's happening. That's where I got it from.

But wasn't he one of the Boxing Day piss up boys?

He was distinctly average though I can't remember a lot about him.

Haydn White was a better player.

Edited to say I see White has just signed a two year deal with Peterborough.

And hes still under contract at Oldham so the hold up might be if they have a new manager appt imminent to give him the final say.

But will that mean theres a fee being paid ?

I remember him trying to hit the ball on the half volley during the game and it went right over his head back to our keeper.

very tenacious and willing but I'd have thought only back up if signed

C Brown and Anderson were part of a back four that 'starred' together in various debacles including the scarcely believable 4-2 pasting at Dagenham and the 0-3 collapse at home to York City. Not fit to lace either Miller's or McQueen's boots is the expression that springs to mind.

i certainly would not be impressed with Connor Brown joining the club......a total liability because of his cocky arrogant persona.

I would not be happy with Connor Brown.

As mentioned above, not as good as Miller or McQueen and would also suggest one of them isn't going to sign their contract.

Quick check on the Oldham FC forum and they'd be thrilled with the idea of offloading him, tells you all you need to know that..

Anyone else seen Grant Holt's tweet from earlier? Surely it won't be him.

I don't think Brown would be terrible. Definitely wasn't the worst of that back four last season he was here

You know that Jamie Vardy fella. I'm sure some people said he was shit when he was younger. If we're signing a right back it must mean our current ones don't want to resign for whatever reason. Shame because at this level they're both capable.

Holt criticized Curle's signing of Pedro and that tweet this morning is also criticizing the club. He will not sign for Carlisle United.

I agree with those who already said it, McQueen and Miller seem to be far superior to Connor Brown in both ability and attitude. I would view him replacing either of them as a step backwards. I hope it's not true.

I thought Brown was ok when he came, you have to remember he was very inexperienced and just about his first regular taste of football when we signed him. Hayden White would've been better but we can't compete with the likes of Peterborough the way they chuck money about.

He would have been 22 when he played for us I think.

Well going by the names mentioned on here it looks like hes right then doesnt it.

And i would of thought that if McQueen and Miller wernt going to sign it would get out long before Curle got round to signing a direct replacement

He must have a club lined up, not going to stop your income unless you have a fall back. Think he would get a league 1 club mind, Port vale or Chesterfield maybe.

Standard contracts run until 30th June, with last pay in late July.

Our new signings although 'signed' won't commence until July 1st technically.
