Why ???? We have midfielders coming out our ear holes has Warrington fallen out with Wellens? We need a permanent keeper and decent striker and who does Ling sign another injury prone midfielder. It’s run by nutters

Welcome Dom.

Lets hope he is as good as Adam Chambers and a lot better than Phil Mulryne.

Finally, the experience we need in CM. Time for some proper competition in there, personally I'd move Brown to the bench for a while, maybe it's also recognition of Warrington not being ready either fitness related or otherwise

Dom Ball certainly is experienced on looks decent, but he's been badly injured in the recent past.

That's always a worry

Torn cartilage in his knee.
In November 2022, a ruptured meniscus ruled Ball out for a large part of the 2022–23 season.[20] On 3 June 2023, Ipswich announced he would be leaving in the summer when his contract expired https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominic_Ball

Talking of nutters, you want us to sign a sixth goalkeeper ?

Got a degree by studying part time for 6 years, not easiest of things to do.Also written a book, all profits to charity.
Indicative that Dom Ball is a multi faceted individual, let’s hope it works out for everyone.

Looks a good signing and I always like it when we sign someone who has got a promotion or two under their belt as they know what needs to be done to get promotion. Living in East Anglia he'll not have any "home-sickness problems".

Welcome Dom and good luck.

Imagine he'll start out as more of a sub, but will probably end up being a switch.

We need a good central striker preferably one that hasn’t been hospitalised in the last couple of seasons

I think if you put all six in goal at the same time we couldn’t stop the opposition from scoring there that bad.
