New Signings?

Erm, did I mention you moaning in any post herein? Newboy ramAnang maybe. But clearly you recognise yourself ����

To quote some helpfully negative little soul on Saturday, ‘Yawn, reset, reload, yawn......’

Hi Lads, see you are doing OK in your new League, now it would seem you are after Everton loanee Tom Cannon, well I have to tell you that we( the Lions) are also keen. Because your previous player Mason Bennett is injured again, never know when he will be back despite his talent.

We've already got one young Toffee striker (Lewis Dobbin) in on loan. Don't really think we need a 2nd young un from them. We have a young un of our own (injured curently) in Cybulski.

Indeed, and given Everton's league standing to date, and last year, another one of their fringe strikers probably is going to be about as useful as a chocolate tepot, or perhaps taking Harry Maguire on loan

Anang out till October with a broken arm following a kick in training. Good start!

[MadAmster]

We still have Loach and young Foulkes.

Linked with Lee Gregory again...although apparently it would have to be on a free. Can’t see Wednesday doing us any favours and I’m not sure about him anyway but presumably Rosenior knows what he offers.
Still suspect we’re more likely to pick up young Canon on loan from Everton.

[Geoff Parkstone]

They'd be doing us a favour by keeping him, so he's on his way!

Id prefer a youngster on loan but Gregory was decent last time he was here

Problem is hes in the Collins mould and we still havent got Collins scoring yet lol

[macstheman]

With the restrictions we are under signing a true 'goal scorer' is nigh on a impossible, end of!
So, there has to be a compromise and a Collins type is the best option.... however, it means goals need to come from other areas and, at present, they are not. I don't see us improving the 'goals for' column from the 'strikers' so it's essential that Bird et al step up.
For a couple of years we have a millstone around our neck and a lump of concrete clamped to our ankles but despite that we (by that I mean the owner, the club staff, the manager and his staff and not least the fans) have made unbelievable strides in the long process of rebuilding. The strength of the squad far exceeds my best hopes at this juncture but, unfortunately, the one area that will take the longest to resolve is goal scoring. Every team in the footballing world want the best striker they can get, for us at this time that's Collins or similar. Collins is working his socks off for the team and that is a bloody good compromise!
