Mark Ellis

Torquay have turned down a bid for defender mark ellis from a unamed league 1 club. Wonder if that was us!

 

[8ace]

Southampton probably. Where did you see this story pp?

 

[porkypie]

Sky sports news! its also on there website mate!

 

[The French Mistress]

There are other L1 clubs you know!

First I've heard about it!

Really!

I think it might have been us, he is predominantly a centre back but i think they are using him at left back at the moment.Gus has already stated that he wants exactly that type of player and Im sure we would know about him from watching Poke last season.

I don't think defenders is our main worry. I think the lack of attacking options is.

 

[Sam Ovett]

Gus has said he wants to bring in cover for Marcos, and someone who can fill in for Tommy or Gordon if they get suspended or injured would be welcome.

Well El Abd can fill in for Painter. And if that's not needed then he can fill in for Greer or Elphick.

 

[Sam Ovett]

Yes, but say Marcos was seriously injured after that tackle against Wednesday...who would play left-back considering Gordon would still be out?

 

[Wilka]

What about Wright at Oxford? He's been getting rave reviews....

I'm sure GP & TB are more than capable of chasing different targets for different positions at the same time.

And to the OP, the same thought crossed my mind when it flashed up on SSN this morning. But a tenuous link, nontheless..

 

[Gav1901]

We only have one left footed defender.
We need a little thing called balance.

We did have 3. He shouldn't have got rid of both until he had a replacement.

 

[Gav1901]

Maybe they wanted to go?

You have an answer for everything.

 

[Sam Ovett]

Think he would be a good signing. Torquay are going places and could be good to bring a certain young striker...

Maybe they would like Poke back on loan for the season

 

[Sam Ovett]

Think they are doing alright. 10 league clean sheets in a row for the Gulls

 

[Ecosse Exile]

Poke was in goal for most of them games believe it or not

 

[Sam Ovett]

Including a 5-0 win against Rochdale I believe. Maybe should give him more of a chance...only a major mistake or two so far.
