Reports from some sections of the national media tonight are saying that Tranmere Manager John Barnes has recruited former Leeds United winger Seb Carole, initially on a short-term deal until the transfer window in January....
Just when it looked as if Rovers would not only be sticking with the Manager who has overseen six straight defeats, but also the squad of Players that are currently failing to perform on the pitch, it appears from reports tonight that a new face is set to arrive at Prenton Park.
Sky Sports are reporting this evening that former Leeds United winger Seb Carole has put pen to paper on a short term deal with Tranmere, beleived to stretch to the start of the transfer window re-opening in January of next year.
Seb Carole is Reportedly John Barnes's Latest Signing
The 27 year old Frenchman was released by Leeds United last during last season before spending some time at League Two side Darlington. He then ended last season at one of his former Clubs Brighton and Hove Albion before becoming a free agent in the summer.
A lot of Rovers fans will argue that another defender should perhaps have been John Barnes's priority if he was to make a new signing, but the signing of Carole may now allow Alan Mahon to play the more central midfield role the fans think he is suited too at the expense of the currently underperforming Paul McLaren or even John Welsh.
Total Tranmere will bring you news of this signing when it is officially confirmed tomorrow.

Still with bain and now Carole it hopefully can mix it up a bit and give some of the players a kick up the backside

He doesn't have to explain it I suppose no. I have a rough idea anyway as to why he hasn't featured do far.

I am convinced that some supporters would get excited if we signed Steptoe and Son. When Carole was at Leeds he was slated by there supporters.Why ,oh why do we keep signing players who have failed big style? I woud be more excited if we were bringing players fron non league for a percentage of these might pay off
Savage got slated by his previous club, that worked out fine. If he was that bad, Leeds wouldn't of looked at him at all, maybe it just didn't work out there.
For christs sake, give the guy a chance - he's being written off before playing a game.
Seemed good technically with decent movement, better than Mahon has been this season anyway.
Bit hard to find at this level these are though.
I don't think Barness makes enough changes after an awful performance.. he needs to really kick their @#$%& and make a point!
Roy Hodgson said the other day he was offered Sol Campbell but turned him down because he has a decent 19yr lad coming through there and Sol would have just hampered the lads progress. There was nothing benefiacial about blocking the lads progress sticking a dinosaur in there (obviously thats not a direct qoute lol just how i read it)
With the right guidance Charlie could be one of the best players we've seen here for ages, and he'd earn us a massive fee IMO, but his progress has been hampered, his confidence has prob took a blow losing out to John Welsh who can't pass a ball 5 yards.
