Ian Holloway revealed that he’s hoping to make another 'really exciting'  senior signing, one that he promised would peak supporters’ interest.

“That would be really exciting whether that happens or not,” Holloway added.



Well, no! If it doesnt happen, it wont be very exciting will it?

I can almost hear Jim Bowen's voice in the background.....

What position... based on yesterday's match, striker potentially or an experienced winger?

Not sure if it's already been mentioned on here but he also said we are set to sign Wolves midfielder Terry Taylor on loan.

Yes in his interview he said TT should be here on Monday

AND

a possible exciting senior player

We could do with a former double champions league winner again.

Quoted from MarshMariner

It's a goalkeeper who can take penalties

Kevin Pressman, nice

Quoted from Abdul19

Kevin Pressman, nice

I was wondering if José Luis Chilavert or Rodrigo Ceni are still playing.

Quoted from Abdul19

Kevin Pressman, nice

Virtually filled the goal last time i saw him.

Quoted from Ipswin

And save them

Hopefully!

Ah they were the days - I’ve come over all misty eyed and sentimental.

Not very exciting and pure speculation but Ollie was a big fan of Kwesi Appiah and they’ve worked together before who is now a free agent

I know it’s daft and already been ruled out, but Omar Bogle is STILL a free agent.....

It’s strange, as someone mentioned to me it could be Cameron Jerome. Not a clue who he’s with these days mind!

Forgive me  - but am I only one who hasn't a clue who Kwesi Appiah is?

Quoted from Heswall Mariner

Forgive me  - but am I only one who hasn't a clue who Kwesi Appiah is?

Nope

Quoted from Heswall Mariner

I think he played for Cambridge few seasons back, similar mould to LJL.

Quoted from Heswall Mariner

Journeyman striker. Spent years at various lower league clubs on loan from Palace without ever featuring for them. Been at Wimbledon for the last couple of years with a 1 in 5 strike rate so not necessarily prolific but has a handful of caps for Ghana so clearly has something about it.

Has Kevin Keegan got a club yet?

Quoted from sam gy

A winger? Feels like we’ve got about 20 already

We have got a few wingers.. but I don't think any of the younger guys would be considered starters throughout the entire season.. in my opinion... Scannell yes, but the others.. not so sure and I am not convinced Tilley is the answer unfortunately.. although he has certainly got some ability..

Thanks  for your feedback Poojah - not up to speed on how to respond directly on this site so iI guess  I'm somewhere down the list on this reply. Rock On.

Charlie Adam . Player assitant manager  ;)

Gone to Dundee his home town club.

All of last seasons players have finally been removed from the list on the official site, apart from Anthony Glennon, I'm not sure why we would with Danny Preston now in, but could he be coming back on loan?

Quoted from grimsby pete

Gone to Dundee his home town club.

Really?😉

Well, it’s not over the line yet, so there’s every chance he could be incoming. Am guessing IH would be a massive lure for him

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/charlie-adam-dundee-deal-boost-22629481.amp

Experienced signing from higher division might happen towards the end of the transfer window according to Humberside. So we’ve got about a month for them not to find something better to come along.

Exactly.

Am I right in thinking that squad Number 8 hasn't been claimed yet?

Squad numbers don't mean a lot in the grand scheme of things but sometimes can give an indication of what's left to come in. A midfielder would maybe leave us quite heavy in terms of numbers if nothing else - Clifton, Williams, Hewitt, Rose, Taylor, Spokes and Khouri (if needed). Plus Jock Curran, who I'm guessing is back from his one-day loan at Clee Town.

I see my backside big style with this, sick to the back teeth of hearing/reading/seeding crud like this.
Bogle will always be fondly held close to the bossom of most GTFC fans but it's time to move on and twits like EFL-HUB need to stop spouting such utter b@ll@x..

My thoughts exactly.

I get my shirt printing based on whatever EFL Hub tweets

Here’s a question for you all.

James Hanson, whom I rate is mysteriously injured really wants to be closer to home in Bradford
I understand and respect that.

Omar Bogle did good stuff for us and went on to higher things including higher wages.

James Hanson has a poor record re fitness

Question......would you prefer Omar to James if Ollie can fix it?

If that was a choice, I'm not sure why anyone would pick Hanson over Bogle!

Quoted from Abdul19

If that was a choice, I'm not sure why anyone would pick Hanson over Bogle!

I would argue that Hanson is far more consistent then Bogle.

Hanson is better if fit
We must not get too many crocks in our squad
Does James really want to be here?

I think anyone even engaging in this debate, let alone mooting James Hanson as the better player, have forgotten just how good Omar was at the peak of his powers here (and I mean no disservice to Hanson in saying that - he’s our player and a good one in his own right).

Bogle is the complete striker at this level - just look at the variety of the goals in the video below; popping up in the six yard box, headers, long rangers, individual efforts, it’s all there.

He’s absolutely everything you could ask for at this level, and I think he’d be phenomenal for us. Yes he’s lost his way a little, but it’s not been through injury; perhaps his confidence has just gone a bit. IH would be perfect for him in that regard, just look at the return to form of Charles Vernam. It’s hard to believe he was on loan at Chorley just a few weeks before he scored that goal at Colchester.

Sadly, I’m still of the opinion that it won’t happen. There is surely someone out there somewhere capable of paying him more than us who would want him. This is a strange window for obvious reasons, and in Sean Scannell we’ve already signed someone I’d have thought would be out of our reach financially, but I just can’t see a logical way this could happen.

I’d take great pleasure in being completely wrong though. In fact I’d happily let Omar shag my wife if he came back, but I’ll keep quiet on that one as I don’t want to put him off...

Exactly. Someone'll claim that Matt Green is better than Pat Glover next  ;)

Quoted from TheRonRaffertyFanClub

I wonder why ?

Bogle's packed the football in and started writing music. We could always get him to write the new Mariners song

Quoted from Abdul19

Exactly. Someone'll claim that Matt Green is better than Pat Glover next  ;)

Glover hasn’t scored a goal since 1939; if that’s not a drought I don’t know what is.

Scored in his last game* though, so he's in a purple patch.

Quoted from Heswall Mariner

Forgive me  - but am I only one who hasn't a clue who Kwesi Appiah is?

I think he played as a twin striker for Aynek alongside Isewk Haippa but given a free transfer as he was dyslexic and couldn't read who the away team were, he ended up in Asabmom while the rest of the team were in Iborian

If there are two things I don’t particularly associate with the country of Ghana it’s quality sports journalism and an appealing national dish.

The first is mainly because, prior to opening this thread, I’d never heard of the no doubt global publication that is sportsworldghana.com. The second is mainly due to this stuff:

[img]https://www.qoava.com/image/cache/catalog/product_images/ghana-best-shito-hot-228g-700x700.jpg[/img]

I once bought some after perusing the Asda ‘world foods’ aisle, for no other reason than sheer intrigue and the fact that West Africa was in the midst of an Ebola outbreak and it felt like an edgy thing to do at the time.

That’s right: hot chilli sauce with shrimp and unspecified fish. What’s not to like? All I will say is that its description is worse than its name, it looks worse than it sounds, it smells worse than it looks and it tastes worse than it smells.

Why is it called ‘Shito’? I’m not 100% sure to be honest but the experience I went through the following morning is probably a clue.

Anyway, if Bogle signs in the next seven days I’ll eat a whole jar of the stuff whilst running naked in front of the Pontoon. Go on Omar, I dare you...
