CCU,
I confirm Rachubka is indeed bollocks.
Proud owner of the worst display from a keeper I have ever seen. Taken off at half time against Blackpool, to be replaced by a 19 year old kid making his debut.
Kid was actually Alex Cairns, now a super hero at Fleetwood.
Anyway, back on topic, Ross Turnbull (a proud owner of a champions league winners medal no less) about to be released by Leeds.
Would show up Gillespie for what he is (bang average apart form being a decent shot stopper).

Speaking of keepers, there's Lindegaard? Beckford for a err... homecoming.

Preston: Jermaine Beckford, Anders Lindegaard and Clive Smith.
Doncaster: Gary McSheffrey, Paul Keegan, Aaron Taylor-Sinclair, Joe Pugh and Joey McCormick. In addition Ross Etheridge, Cedric Evina, Mitchell Lund, Harry Middleton and Andy Williams have been made available for transfer.
Wycombe: Garry Thompson and Sam Wood.
Cheltenham Town: Asa Hall, James Jennings, Amari Morgan-Smith, Daniel Parslow, James Dayton, Jack Munns, Calum Kitscha, Liam Davis, Jack Barthram, James Rowe and Jordan Lymn.

If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.

Mansfield have released Matt Green.

Seems a strange decision given the number of goals he's scored for them.

I'd have him here and I know Curle has said he likes him as a player in the past.

A few names jump out as decent signings on that list. Given that we spent most of last season with only 3 forwards and with the future of two of our current ones uncertain it's pretty certain we'll be in the market for one this summer. Matt Green has always impressed me and been a thorn in Carlisle's side quite a few times, surprised Mansfield are offloading really. Andy Williams would be a great addition, as would Ryan Brunt if fit (been out all season with a knee injury I think) and Marc McNulty is perhaps the sort of snibber we missed for most of this season.

At the back Barnsley are getting shot of a couple of decent players but both could be out of our reach I'd have thought. Lewin Nyatanga been about a bit and is a capable centre half and Andy White at left back has impressed whenever I've seen him, made his league debut against us for Leeds about 10 year ago and had Cleveland Taylor in his pocket all game, bit embarrassing when he lost a boot and still took the ball off him!

Never really found his true position either, flitting between left back and left wing.

Didn't White make his debut up here when he was about 16?

Also sounds like Curle wants the Hope deal done early or not at all.

I would take it as a free transfer, They probably wanted to release him but doing it this way there is no need for compensation. Be plenty of sides after him.

Well from what people say about wages in Scotland and how much our players are supposedly earning in bonuses that shouldnt be a problem should it

And i think if Holt came out in the press and said the only thing stopping me signing for CUFC is that Cu nt Nixon that would be the end end of his days leeching off football fans i would think.

JP on the radio on more than one occasion has laughed and said that there is no chance that GH will be signing for Carlisle United.

That might have been at that certain time perhaps, would be a decent addition especially if Jabo goes.

GH shared the same frustration of the fans in that phone in and Nixon was furious, he didn't need to go to the press to state how he felt - Nixon got it two barrels in the face live on radio.

Fair play to him for doing that, nobody else was prepared to do it, especially JP.

Unfortunately i dont think thats going to be an option

I dont think there would be much opposition to signing an ex premier league player whos been a fan of the club all his life and has fans of his former club currently in the championship shouting for them to sign him as they reckon hes better than anything theyve had in a number nine shirt since he left.

And if it meant Nixons nose getting put out into the bargain that could only be a welcome bonus.

Unfortunately hes wasted the last four years when if his pride had let him he should of come here when Wigan offered to pay him up before he got injured

You do know how much money he was on at Wigan? And their 'paying up' offer was pitiful, hence why he stayed.

You say he wasted the last four years yet in that time he's played half a season in the premier league, won a Scottish championship and scored in a cup semi final at Hampden, more than most players do in their entire career.

No idea what sort of money he was on but in his time at Wigan didn't they have about three of four managers and none of them fancied playing him?

I would guess that he hacked off Dave Whelan big time....

Got on with Coyle but didn't get on with Rosler. By the time Caldwell got the job he was on his way back from 9 months out and lacking fitness. At 33 you're not going to walk away from another 2 years of a lucrative contract for next to nowt.

I'd take a punt on holt if the contract was suited to the club. Pay as you play? highly incentivised rather than big single payment per week?

I wouldn't be against signing Holt. I still think he'd get goals at this level.

But if it was the straight choice between Jabo and Holt I'd go with Jabo.

I think we need another younger striker to go with the above and what we've got.

Perhaps Hallam Hope is 1 of them?

Billy Paynter has been released by Hartlepool.

I know there are a few on here that would love him back.
