Really pleased if this happens, sounds promising and it means we’ve got a bit more in the midfield when it comes to technical ability.

Just a striker (9), another wide player (7) and another centre back now if this happens.

Just a striker needed now for me and then save a bit to react as the season goes by brining in loans mid season.

Basically just need a goalscoring striker and possibly one more wide man for me now.

Would take one of those two being a u23 loan - ideally the winger.

Though if we could get say Charles Vernham in, he would cover either base so that plus a u23 loan would just about sort us.

Any more noise on the potential of him coming or not - think he came on off the bench against forest the other day so would say its unlikely now...

I understand why some might like to see Vernam come back, especially with the apparent lack of other options on the horizon. But banking on him as your goal scoring striker is a bit of a risk, isn’t it?

He did alright during a brief loan spell at Chorley before coming back and looking like a totally different player up until the Covid curtailment, but he’s never been remotely prolific anywhere, has he? Up until that little purple patch the major criticism seemed to be that he looked a really neat and tidy player, but had no end product.

If we’re only going to sign one more striker, I’m not sure Charles Vernam’s the right man.

I'd probably tend to agree, but I do think he'd score at NL level and I'd rather have him in alongside LJL/Taylor than nothing - and probably over some complete unknown that would be a complete gamble . I trust hurst to find the right man, and his judgement over my own.

I reckon Hurst will move for a striker about a month into the EFL season, so he can see who is being left out of first team matches and wanting to play.

Hurst is a canny operator in the transfer market, loan or permanent. He just plucks players out of thin air . He does his homework on them so knows exactly what he is getting.  

Patience folks, in Hurst we trust

Get him in and give him a go I'd say. It's kind of relative but I liked it when we got that Young lad from Everton.
