Ollie Banks

As he's signed a permanent deal (from Tranmere) he deserves his own topic:

Attacking midfielder seems to be just the job. Welcome to Barrow.
Don't let the old man in.

Looks like a decent signing, Very highly rated by Tranmere fans who are surprised the club have let him go

Wonder if we paid a fee? Tranmere fans are really angry and it’s come out of the blue

The issue for Tranmere is that Spearing is in the designated key midfield role and is probably the best they've got by some way. Banks is renowned for being a very solid midfielder who's defensive qualities are sound but who is also adept at finding the forwards with what I believe is very accurate passing capability. So he's managed to fall between the cracks of the Tranmere squad and that may have something to do with the new manager wanting to freshen up the squad.

What I like about these signings is that you can see that Jolley had identified them knowing the job they can do and that it immediately seems to makes sense. Unlike the previous incumbent.

On paper, Jolley has recruited better in a couple of days than Dunn managed all summer.

True. He wasn’t sure of his signings and he wasn’t sure of himself. Luckily for him the grounds were empty; there might have been some ‘ungentlemanly conduct’. Do they still have that in the rule book?
