Surely that can't be it??

[Whoislloydy]

There really isn't much out there, nothing in league one striker wise for me.

Imagine we will be looking oversees for a Striker

 

[Uncle Buck]

The key last summer was getting the business done early as we were essentially rebuilding the squad post the Hypia / Burke car crash. That squad needed bedding in during pre season.

As this summer it is just a small number of additions to the squad to improve it, whilst it would have been nice to have them in for the pre-season, the urgency is not the same.

 

[Whoislloydy]

Can anyone think of anyone in the premiership surplus to requirements? Other than Vydra

Other than having to play Bruno at CB against Derby Saturday. I believe we have been down that route against them in previous seasons with out of position CBs

Chubba Akpong and Joel Campbell at Arsenal. Spurs have bought a striker for big money what do they have in U23s not likely to get a look in. There is of course always James Wilson at United.

But two of the centre backs are injured. I agree we need one more, but do not want them signing a Ridgewell type player as he can do a job. Would rather the new centre back is challenging the other 3 for a place when all are fit.

I would probably have risked Dallison there, rather than loan him out. He could have gone out on deadline day.

100% this.

Unless it has changed, surely the real horse trading can't start until after the Premier League requirement that their clubs have registered their squads for the coming season.

Premier clubs will then have to decide to offload those surplus to requirements and only then will Football League clubs be able to see just who all are available.

No need to become excited until nearer the time the window closes.

Very cash rich club

Fact or rumour ?

For fear of repeating myself offer a 6 month contract with the possibility of another 6 months to Haagarland released by CPFC. at the worst it will give us breathing space for Goldson and Hunemier

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

There is absolutely zero need to 'replace' Elvis.

He was replaced in January when we brought in Skalak and Knockaert

Good point. Same logic really that Towell actually replaced JFC in advance.

Like it.

Of those gone or going :

COG->Zamora->Murray
Crofts->Sidwell
Calderon->Hornby-Forbes
Chicksen->Adekugbe
JFC->Towell
Elvis->Skalak
Holla->Norwood

Leaving just Greer and Wilson to be replaced

I agree. I was disappointed when Dallison went to Cambridge as I think he could make the step up.

But that is just short term planning.

Part of last seasons success was a settled squad and quality additions.

 

[Zebedee]

Well Joel Campbell is being lined up on loan if you believe Twitter

Not another bloody loan. I'd like a striker of our own please.

 

[Uncle Buck]

I agree. I was disappointed when Dallison went to Cambridge as I think he could make the step up.

I am not sure he is ready and playing League 2 football regularly will benefit him. However I do feel that deal should have been done on deadline day. Especially as they do not seem keen to throw Ben Hall in for this game.

 

[Uncle Buck]

In all fairness loans this season will either be half season or full season.

No 93 day loans, so there is more stability with this, especially as they cannot be recalled.

whoever comes in will probably be replaced by those here already so a short term fix is required to get over a few games until those two are fit.

But surely we should be looking for 2 players in every position, either of whom are good enough to play, rather than stop gaps.

 

[Marshy]

We really need to sign a striker on a perm, it would not be good in my opinion to have 2 loan strikers as our main front men, be a big kick in the teeth to Hemed and Baldock if both were replaced with loans.
