Walton becomes first of the 'Murray 8'
I always throw my head back in despair when people within the club declare that we are going to buy 'two players by tomorrow lunchtime' or 'three next week' and Richard Murray did it again earlier in the week when he announced: "Myself, Iain and Andy Mills are working extremely hard to bring in new players and build the squad. We hope to bring in six to eight new signings before the start of the season."
But we live in hope, and the first one arrived today in the form of 18-year old defender Simon Walton from Leeds. Clearly one for the future, the Leeds born Walton played 33 games in Leeds' first year in the Championship but just 5 last season mainly in midfield scoring 3 goals.
The move seems to have upset some Leeds fans, seeing another one of their potential starlets walking out of the door.
Lloyd Sam has today signed a new 4-year contract, which is further evidence of Dowie encouraging the youth a lot more than we saw under the previous management. ¶ 18:08
