I know many on here will find this unbelievable but I propose Kyle Perry!

In my belief getting rid of Kyle was the start of our continuing downfall. From what I'd heard he was fantastic in the dressing room and was a big (no pun intended) factor in the superb team spirit we had a couple of years or so ago.

What compounded it even more was Sinnott signing that w@nker Rankine, who I think destroyed the team spirit within the first month or so of last season and which we've never recovered and is so alarmingly lacking with this team.

I wouldn't actually be against re-signing him now.....Reevesy worked well off him and I'm sure he would offer more than Hobson and Marsh. We can also reunite the Stubblemelt two next year when Masha gets released....hopefully he'll have spent his time in the gym getting fit and would be a superb centre back in the glue league.

Good call Cheadle Hulme.

Probably quicker than my suggestion of Gerry Casey too

Before my time, but Jackie Swindells would be my first pick. His goal scoring record in the mid 60's is phenomenal - 82 goals in his first full season at Alty.

Would love to see him as his peak, playing upfront with Reeves.  Obviously we'd still concede loads of goals but could always win few games 5-4

Jackie was a bit of a poacher though I understand.

So we'd probably stick him on the bench for 3 months...

You're not alone Cheadle Hulme Alty. There were a number of us on Saturday wishing for a Kyle Perry type player.

Definitely a poacher Ballers.....and a great finisher. But these days his lack of pace would have blunted him.

You could always stick a speedy full back up front to help him out.

Sadly I don't think Jackie would have even made it as far as playing for Alty in the modern game and was certainly "of his time", however a superb player and his 6 goals in the Cheshire League Championship clinching game at Chester is something I'll never forget.

Slightly off track and I'm sure someone will correct me if I've got my facts wrong but one player I remember having a great impact on a struggling Alty side was Carl Dyson at the tail end of the 87-88 season. As I remember it, Jeff Johnson had taken over from the Tommy Docherty managerial debacle and after a few solid and promising results, the team was in freefall with a 1-4 stuffing at home to Runcorn in the CSC semi 1st leg the lowest point and performance (Nicky Daws debut I think, had a nightmare at fullback with Mark Carter in close opposition). Anyway, I seem to remember Dyson came into the team then and, while he wasn't the best player ever, he was something different and suddenly sparked the team into a decent end of season run and he got a few goals too. 

We could also do with a Keith Russell BEFORE he signed for us... top goalscorer when he was on loan to us, as good as Darren Royle once he'd signed a contract...

If you want some of the stuff we desperately need - determination, charachter, strength, commitment and ability for the level then Kyle Perry is absolutely bang on the money right now.

Considering we are lacking someone in midfield with bite, but also the ability to pick a pass, plus we lack a genuine aerial threat at set pieces Lewis Chalmers would fit all three categories. I don't think he'd be the answer to all of our problems, but I genuinely think it would be a start.

With a midfield of Barrow, Pritchard, Carmody, and King, we could afford to keep our present back four since they'd seldom have any work to do !
