Curtis Thompson signs for Grimsby Town!

Quoted from BobbyCummingsTackle

Do you do it on purpose?

Touché ……predictive text!

Looks a very good signing in the face of it, exactly what we need, welcome Curtis!

Good signing no doubt will improve midfield where we are short , still think we need another senior 1 in there . Let's hope another 4 in at least today RB,LB,CM and maybe even a cherry up top ?

Quite a lot of Notts County fans seem pretty drunk off that they weren't in for him. Or were but missed out to us.

Surely another CM depends on the Hunt situation…

A winger if Pyke goes. Also I’ll still go on about wanting a grizzled, gnarled beast up top - something I’ve wanted ever since Ryan Taylor pinged his hamstring, which as expected effectively ended his EFL career.

Look at the bottom paragraph, the BBC thinks we have brought in Conteh from Bristol Rovers >> https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68168419

Unless we have secretly got him back on loan until the end of the season

As it stands.  Green, Clifton, Thompson, Andrews, Wood plus the out of favour Holohan and Hunt.   So you've got 5 to cover 3 positions, up to 6 or 7 if we fail to offload both or one of Holohan/Hunt.  Also young Braithwaite too.  I'm unsure on if it will be a case of another coming in just because we lose one more.  Khouri's only on loan for a month too.

Out wide we definitely still need to lose numbers.  Vernam, Eisa, Arthur, Wilson, Pyke and Clifton who can and does operate out wide.  6 covering 2 slots.  If (and I'm talking a big IF), Kirk does come in then surely it's at least one going out.  You could, of course, look at it another way that Wilson and Pyke are seen by Artell as actual strikers and Clifton is solely a midfielder so you're then down to just 3.  But I don't think he's seeing it that way at all.

We really are quite bloated number wise.

Looking at your user name. A yard dog is just what we need to grab hold of the midfield.

They is only one yard dog

Certainly bloated in places, Obikwu to add to that as well, but then short elsewhere. Actually we need another CB with Waterfall gone, I always thought we need 4 - any news on Tharme’s hamstring looked like a pull not a tear but still be a few weeks I expect.

The main issue I continue to see with the front players is that no one else can play the role that Rose does, hence my irritation about Orsi being let go. Not as good as Rose but capable of playing in the role or alongside him in a 2 up.

Looks like a decent addition on the face of it.
