Could be putting 2+2 together and getting 5 but he’s just followed Grimsby Town on Twitter, was at Forest with Jolley a few years ago too.

Jostein posted this on Twitter. He certainly looks a bit like the mystery man at Cheapside
Ex Hearts but loaned out to the likes of Queen of the South with little success.
No issue having a look but doubt he will set League 2 alight to be jonest

Jolley left Forest in 2008. Todorov was 12 in 2008 and didn't join Forest academy until 2013.

Another striker with an unspectacular scoring record. 8 clubs since 2015 and only 10 goals to his name. I suppose there is no harm in taking a look at these players such as him and Fortune. I trust MJ and AL to bring in the right men to do the job but I must admit between the two strikers we’ve signed (Robles and Cook), this lad and Fortune none of them look like the prolific goalscorer on paper we are crying out for...but as I said all faith in MJ and his judgement

How can anyone say we’re “crying out” for anything or anyone when we’ve not even played our first friendly and still have a month before the season kicks off?

Because it’s a notable gap in the team. And I think even MJ and his staff would concur with that seeing as they’ve been apparently trying to bring in someone who fits that mould. It’s plainly obvious to everyone we are still in the market for a few more players yet and that are a couple of gaps to fill still, notably a striker and a second keeper.

But with Robles, Cook, A.Rose and Cardwell, we're hardly short of numbers for what might well be a single lone-striker position.

And whilst none of the above have a 20 goal season to their names so far in their careers, truth is we don't know how any of them will get on yet as, as none of us have seen 3 of them and 1 has only played a handful of games.

I don't understand how people still don't realise that we won't be in the market for an established 20 goal a season striker. They are a rear breed and established strikers will always get far better financial options then what we are in the market to offer.

Our best bet will be somebody who is hungry and will hopefully score goals fitting into our chosen system. Just because there not yet established, doesn't mean it can't happen under our watch.

How i see it especially for the younger pros is they all have to start somewhere i.e. ground zero.  I guess its ok looking at number of clubs and number of appearances/ goals in a player and sometimes you just fit at a certain team.  You have to consider style of play....managers that have signed the player only to get sacked and the new manager might not like them.

But we have to wait to see how they play in GTFC shirt first especially a fair number of games.

Still only 21. Still probably a ways from being his best and we've seen that some players can find something under the right manager.

Amond didn’t have a great scoring record until he joined GTFC.

I never understand this quote that always comes through.

Amond had a 1 in 4 record in the league above us and came with positive reviews. More often than not, players with poor reviews and poor records turn out to be poor. We have a couple of examples where that isn’t the case, Nolan in particular but there are loads of examples of that being the case (most of the tripe we signed last season).

This is totally unrelated to Todorov btw, no idea who he was before I saw that on Twitter and he’s still only 21.

Amazing how we have so many people who are experts about football posting here, I'm surprised they have time to spare from managing their Premier League clubs!

Hooper looked like a below average striker with no confidence until Jolley came in and yet his final day hattrick  opitimises his change in form in the last 10 games since Michael took over.
Dont think we should write anyone off until we can see what a players qualities can be with this kind of coaching and conditioning.
Aside from this it is the norm at all clubs that a raft of trialists come in pre-season, many of which are not taken on or dont make the grade. Would rather us take some time to get this striker signing right.

Not impressed-i would sooner sign  Vorodot Yalokin-very good at laying ball off when he's got his back to goal,very much in the Enak mould

I remember when he played for Plovdiv Tractor Works. Scored a very well worked team goal in the Cup Winners Cup against East German outfit Dynamo Leitz. Had to be carried off in the second leg because of a hip dislocation due to a weakness caused by his handling by the DS (State Security) when he refused to sign for CSKA Sofia.

No longer following Grimsby Town on Twitter.  I guess with that and him not taking part today, it's safe to assume he won't be getting taken on.
