United sign former Birmingham City striker Wes Thomas, 29 and central defender
Aaron Martin, 26 on two year contracts. Martin was released by Coventry City
in May.
Which means we could be saddled with a pretty heavy compensation bill if it goes to tribunal - apparently we haven't managed to agree a sum with Argyle yet.OUFC4eva wrote:United capture former Plymouth Argyle captain Curtis Nelson

I understand your shudder, given our previous experience of managers playing 5 at the back (didn't it turn out to be 8 defenders in one of Jim Smith's line-ups - Droylesden away maybe?). But the way we were employing full-backs last season might actually suit a 3-defender formation. I certainly wouldn't expect Appleton to set us up too defensively whatever formation he goes for. But I don't know whether Ribeiro is quite in the Baldock mould of attacking wing-back. And Joe Skarz certainly isn't...YF Dan wrote:Unless, shudder, he's planning to play 3/5 at the back?
