What's he up to now?
I think he'd be a worthy signing for us up front
33 and scored 1 goal for Rotherham last season
Exactly the kind of signing we shouldn't be making
So let me get this right, you've picked the one position where we actually have some strength in depth, and suggested a signing who scored one goal at league one level from 27 games last season?
Move over Paddy Deboys, a new king is in town.
Paddy Deboys signed 3 centre halves last season, and they were all equally terrible. A true rival to Deboys' ineptitude has been discovered.Quote:

Technically that should be enough firepower for league one even if Robinson or Salech move on
I genuinely think just a good manager is all we need
If Salech and Robinson leave that’s enough firepower in League 1….to take us down to League 2.Quote:

RIZA wasn’t wrong when he said our fans are clueless.
Strength in depth is stretching itQuote:

Birmingham and Wrexham for starters.Quote:

If we sort the management and coaching out who can get the most out of the team, maybe bring in some natural leaders to toughen up mentally and I think we'll be ok.
Really? You'd take Ollie Palmer and Jay Rodriguez over Salech & Robinson?Quote:

Only one of those had a good scoring record for a team that won promotion last season. All of those are likely on decent money for the division, are old, can only play a certain way and won't be able to be sold on.Quote:

Who cares about resale value. We are football fans not accountants.Quote:

Firstly it was 6 in 26 in the league? Why lie?Quote:

Etete has played for 6 different clubs at 23.
Who cares how many clubs someone has had. What’s your point ?
Only one got to double figures maybe but they shared the game time and the goals, hence they have more depth in my opinion.Quote:

Why is it a weak point? We are talking strength in depth and someone they bring on as sub for the last 20 minutes scored 8 goals in a promotion winning season.Quote:

And according to you we’ll get relegated again if we don’t sign more strikersQuote:
