Eagles has been released by Charlton, Bolton and even that crisis club Blackpool recently.
Reminds me of David Bentley, a player who clubs had high hopes for, but ultimately never delivered. Bentley did get a few England caps along the way though and probably earned a hell of a lot more than Eagles ever did. Shame though that players can fall out of love with the game, you'd think earning £30k a week and playing the sport they once dreamed of as a kid could only bring happiness but ultimately that's not the case.

For all his faults I ask would Chris Eagles improve our current side and my answer is yes so I would take him.
Of course it's probably not true though.

Does make you wonder what drives people to make up bullshit rumours, going to the trouble of posting it on websites and all sorts. It isn't like this will grab mainstream headlines, we're in League 1 ffs.
As much as I think it would excite the fans, not sure Eagles would fit the Mowbray ethos given his signings so far and Eagles lack of achievements in recent years. I do think we now need a couple of experienced heads to complete the jigsaw however. Here's hoping we get another one over the line today!

Well thats it then if the chief button monkey (Crowley not you Fry) says he is past it then Mowbray the experienced manager must listen and not sign him.

I wouldn't take Eagles now. A few years ago would have snapped your hand off but what has he done last couple of seasons. Would smack to me of an over the hill player hoping for one last seasons pay at professional level

Good point, it has to be registered so many hours before a game doesn't it? Hopefully a morning of transfer activity! A decent striker would get a few more bums on seats tomorrow I'm guessing too.

I highly doubt we will see any activity today at all. Seems to be all towards end of August so I would almost rule out any signings today tbh.

Case closed, now at Notts County.
