Welcome back Sammy. Great informative interview

We've missed out on a centre back.
Need at least 4 more players ~ goalkeeper, strengthen defence and cover for Mullers and Jevo
Stadium looks great.

Who was letting off steam in the closing seconds? Or was it just the kettle boiling?

Looks like my mole was taking bollox

[John L]

So we've kept Mullin then? Wasn't he only on a one-year deal last season?

[darrenlock]

Nah Mullin signed a two year contract.

Thinking on these signings If players want to play for pride not care about cash no offence to Morecambe budget .

But alot of players are availible on free transfer's and I am sure some players will be on trials etc

Far be it for me to disagree ...BUT Sammy wasn't going to name those he's after. He could well be in for Bishop for all we know, but the lack of rumour at their end suggests otherwise.

Certainly sounded 'cagey' as if their could be developments in the near future.

At least he acknowledged that we had problems in defence last season. Wonder who the centre hald was? Ryan Cresswell?

Evidently he didn't....

Mullin has now signed a one-year deal at Christie Park with an option for a further season.

Ah-ha, so the "option" must've been taken up, then...???

[The Bay]

The 'steam' at the end was a coach reversing and then stopping!

Mullers had a clause in his contract activated - and sounds like it's him and PJ as the first choice front two.

Of course, he was never going to name (on or off the record), any players he's after. From what I could see, there were 3 players in who I didn't recognise.

[mfcbro]

I was up at the uni this morning when they were training,i think the 3 were the young academy lads.I liked the new training kit(if it was the new one).

As I understand it Paul (Paulo Mullinzo) joined us on a one-year season long loan from Accy last season. We didn't want to pay a fee for him but Accy needed to get him off their books because he was their highest paid player. I believe that Accy paid a proportion of his salary.

As part of the agreement Paul would be be offered a one-year contract for season 2010/11(following his formal release by Accy) if he played a certain amount of games during 2009/10 season, which he did and I think he's earned. Morecambe honoured that agreement and he's got a new one year contract on agreed terms.

It concerns me that Mullin is considered first choice. If all we were going to do was get someone in as backup then we may as well have kept Curtis

[Christies Child]

Wasn't there some talk of a Viking coming to raid and plunder the opposition defences..

[George Dawes]

thats how it come across to me in that interview

id like to think we will be getting somebody who will be fighting both Mullin & Jevons to start upfront and not just to sit on the bench

[bigreddog]

according to the pfa's transfer list there are loads of players available. one of which is Adebayo Akinfenwa, and he's only 28. he might look like he's carrying a bit of timber, but he gave our back four a torrid time last term. lots of free transfer gems out there if we can afford them. don't know about "the viking" at this stage???:-)

[darrenlock]

Sorry yeah I am backing Wayne Curtis a new contract with Morecambe but did not happen.

I have to agree that Mullin is first choice no body talks about Phil Jevons I looked at a video of him on youtube and fans were not on his side , I have to admit wil he be the player he was last season you never know.
Considering we are 4 weeks away from new season with only 2 striker it is bad and also we do have a young striker in reserve team

[Christies Child]

Like a few others I get concerned when there's no news about confirmed signings. But Sammy is right when he says that we shouldn't sign players unless they are right for the club and the squad.

I think the word 'patience' applies.....not something I have in abundance!

I may have to have a lie down in a dark room.

[heysham_mfc]

Think we need a least another 5 new player and thats if no-one else leaves.
Where was that interview done sounds like even Sammy is going his bit to make sure the ground is ready on time!
