I know  -  but remember all our extra income will have to go to paying off a certain JFS?


We will pay it off a lot quicker if we get a quality striker to take us back at the first attempt.

Not sure, but you can only have 5 in the matchday 16.


That was the mistake Ollie made. He signed 42,or was it 43,on loan but could only name 5 in the squad

Use some of the profit from the season so far on tempting Cheek up North for the first time in his career, he’s a born sniffer and can also bang the odd screamer like he did against us. He would score goals all the way to L1 level and would get even more in our side who create chances from all over.
Should’ve fought harder to get Tshimanger here as the 250K Chesterfield paid will be peanuts compared to the sell on fee.


Whoever we get (if we do) will be somebody PH wants. Somebody that adds to the squad and fits in with a harmonious dressing room. It's all well and good throwing names around on here but PH knows what he wants, he is the manager and on this I will trust his judgement.

Wasn't it his judgement that brought Lewis back .That's worked well

Cheek is a leery Southern tw@t (I know he was born in Nuneaton but I added that for effect) but scores 1 in 2 on average so he'd be ideal and arguably the type of player we have missing ATM, but I would imagine he'd get a nose bleed anywhere North of Watford, it would be nice to get him though as it would really p1ss off that bell end Woodman.  

In terms of buying a player for £250K and paying him stupid money (at this level) which I'd assume the lad who went to Chesterfield is no doubt earning I can't see us doing that for lots of reasons. When Hurst was here before I remember an interview he did with RH where he talked about the impact of a lack of wage structure and how it can disrupt a squad.  

This may sound an odd comment from a supporter who wants us to get promoted but I would have been quite concerned if we'd have spent that kind of money on a player when the whole squad left behind by Holloway needed a couple of windows to truly strengthen.  

It's a bit of a dilemma though as if you bring in a free agent or someone who's not been playing at their club they'll take a bit to get going when we need an instant impact.

I think you could bring another U23 in on loan but that would mean we have 6 and can only name 5 in a squad which would p1ss off the parent club of the lad that misses our and potentially endangering any other loans from that club in the future.

I still think he'll wait to January when the market opens up a bit and there will be a few players in the last year of their deal who may want to jump now rather than being stranded in the summer.

Ryan Seager at Hungerford Town could be worth a punt. 8 goals in 10 games. Previously played for Southampton and a handful of loan teams. Hardly scored any goals in his first 6 years but the has seemed to have run into some decent form having scored over 20 goals in last season and the first 10 games of this season

Southampton are a funny club for holding onto 'young' players that clearly aren't going to make it at the top level and most likely several tiers below. I don't know much about Seager but he's 25 now and at Hungerford, and was only released two years ago.

Tommy Forecast meanwhile was kept on their books until just a couple of months short of his 27th birthday, before they finally let him go. I mean, you hear of late developers and all that, but fúcking hell...

Tbf R Thomas didn't go there til he was nearly 22

Wasn't Forecast part of Bale moving to Spurs?
