Chris Dagnall I believe not the tallest but a good player lost his way over the last couple of seasons but worth a punt

Saw him play a couple of times at Orient. Looked ok and would be a decent signing for League Two. Not sure where this leaves younger players such as Saunders? Can see this season as being key for Saunders' development and longer-term future at the club. Hope he gets, and takes, opportunities in the first team. Needs to hit the target from the outset in the pre-season friendlies.
I understand that Shrewsbury are also in for him so I'll be pleased if we can get this one over the line. Goalscoring record of 1 in 4 but has played at Championship level.
On a separate note I see that Kelvin Mellor has signed for Blackpool....shame, I would have had him back and moved Turton into midfield.
You heard it hear first next a midfield general
Impressed with the signing of Dagnall been on the radar for a few weeks and when I heard that Shrewsbury were interested I was getting concerned. Fair play to the board and management team in getting such a good signing who I think will do good in this league.
Like Preston76 says next is the midfielder![]()
I've been critical of Steve recently , mostly for a terrible record in the transfer market , but I've got to say this transfer has changed my mind. At first I thought "didn't we just sign a small poacher with a goal scoring record" , "haven't we got a similar player coming through" and "surely we need a bigger striker to hold the ball up" but that was before I realised the masterplan......
He's going to buy a big oversized home shirt, get Dagnall to sit on Lowes shoulders and pretend to be a big striker.
Big striker - yes
Room for Saunders - yes
Proven goal scoring record - yes
Bravo Steve, Bravo!
Not a world beater but always looked a threat against us, and should be a decent weapon in League 2 - average age going up like mad! As said, next a midfielder to run the kids, and, hopefully, still a solid older defender and rid of one (or 2 ....) of our centre halves, if we can find someone who'd like them!
Everybody looks good against our defence but hey really pleased with the signing
