Town’s window so far

Quoted from diehardmariner

I dunno about the physical bit of that.  Pyke looked a bit of a unit yesterday, wouldn't surprise me if he's the 'big man' in the squad.  Not the tallest lad but neither was Lennell John-Lewis and Hurst used him in that manner.

Fair mate won't see us until August so don't know what he's like , just that he was really good at right back for Shrews - maybe Hurst will go with him as the big un option then

Can we sign Chinese players? He's bound to have a relative in the UK somewhere that could get him dual nationality!

If we want a beast up front, have a look at Yang Changpeng, he's only 6' 8.5". Is that big enough?

Quoted from Mappers

It must be a big en up top , we seem stacked everywhere else if we sign that lad from Newcastle  at the back on loan . I think a physical forward and we are complete .

Would not suprise me if it was that Kayode from Rotherham with the Hurst link .He fits the bill

A year ago I’d have been very happy with Kayode, but he’s been permanently sidelined with about three separate injuries since then. Whether that’s a run of bad luck or he’s a crock I don’t know, but he would represent a bit of risk.

My disclaimer is that it was against Grimsby Borough, who will represent literally nothing like we face in League Two.  He was the only of the 3 strikers to be used as a lone striker (Rose and Wilson paired together in the first half).  

Hurst did say when he brought him in that he sees him as a centre-forward rather than a winger/wingback.  Could be Hurst just trying different things at this stage than anything else.  It looks like we're bringing someone in - at least one if coddy60 is right and presuming Adan George at least has a chance of earning a contract (and it's not him as the big signing), I can't really see much space for a signing in any other position than up top.

   Braithwaite         Tomlinson. Essel


We've 2 for each position already, so any further signings would have to add quality. Probably got space for one more central striker and if Adan George continues to impress then that could be it.

Looking really strong and cant wait till the season starts

Think it was three unconnected injuries, at least one described as a freak injury. Torn hamstring last pre-season, then a knee injury and then a quad problem towards the end of the year.

Been keeping an eye on his situation as I’d like him here. Rotherham’s manager seems keen to see something of him but also said he needs games & maybe out on loan.

Not heard anything on the jungle drums apart from a few Donny fans thinking they’re in for him. 30-odd games in L1 the season before last, but in his final 12 months at Rotherham & probably unlikely to break into a Championship team. Get the chequebook out Stockwood.

In my opinion I Wouldn't count the 4 kids .They're nowhere near ready for first team selection unless a real injury crisis hits , and will all be loaned out

How do you know that?

Essel looks a player with potential

If we are looking to keep players longer you would have thought it's a case of gradually improving the standard of the level where they go on loan , so maybe this season NLN ,season after NL and then a pathway into the first team if they have impressed and can make the step up .

you're probably right but Braithwaite, Bramwell & essel all played first team games last season, so hopefully they'll get  a loan to a decent level club (Nl or NLN ) and/or get some game time in the paintpot trophy
