I’m slightly underwhelmed, was decent for the bulls in his last spell, but has had more than his fair share of injuries, as has our current no6, and if you compare the two I think it’s a slight downgrade. Will be ok in the championship but not for any higher aspirations.

Pretty standard stuff really, agents tend to be the worst leaks for clubs in an attempt to push their players price up. In this instance though it was basically Keyes being apologetic to Fax telling them what Bradford were offering and saying there was no way he could turn it down. He didn't ask Fax to try and match it because he knew there was no chance of it happening. Apparently had around 6 other offers as well. He's a good signing for you and better than anyone you have the only question is can he keep fit, if so you have one of the top 2 or 3 half backs in the Championship.

Not too sure the thinking with the Matty Gee signing though, his form has pretty much dropped off a cliff this season but again Fax could not come close to the Bradford offer.

Keyes had made 17 appearances this year. Certainly looks to be a big part of Fax getting some important results recently. Also he's a great goal-kicker which we are badly lacking this year and will cost us eventually.

Meadows I'm a bit Meh on. However he can play a number of positions.

I rate Gaskell higher than Keyes, however he's just not been able to get on the field this year sadly.

Keyes will be on less money than Gaskell so an overall saving for the club. He’s a superb player and has that quality to unlock defences with a kicking game to boot but he will miss games so it’s good to have Meadows to spell for him when he does.

Either way he’s a fax player and as we know they have better players than us in every position so it’s good news! I’m just glad we can afford to triple his wages or whatever the rumours are or else we’d never sign anyone!

Joking aside I think the point that we need to spend on other areas is a very good one. Sounds like we are trying to work on all sides but current odsal will hold us back regardless of how much we spend on the team.

Really like how we are building under EoC though. Long may it continue

Tyran Ott 1 year extension; Eoc always speaks highly of him a good foil for Souter.

Well at the worst we can always loan him back to a league 1 club
