I'm happy with Shinnie I just hope Smyth isn't the striker spoken about. If it's Smyth, Shinnie and a striker I'd be happy. All very well having creative midfielders but with low scoring strikers, were bringing in people who haven't scored more than 5 in two years.
If we only get Smyth in after that today I might be a bit concerned, unless we’re putting all of our faith in Bogle I can’t really see where the goals come from.
Thought Cawley said Smyth was off and we’ve moved on.

Bowyer's always looking for more goals from midfield, so I'm not surprised there's still a push for attacking midfielders. If he's going to use Bogle as a focal point then getting in midfielders who can contribute a lot of goals could be just as significant as getting a decent striker in,
Strikers need service. We now have a LOT of service. I wouldn't be surprised if someone who's previously been goal-shy - Washington, Bogle, Smyth etc - scores an absolute hatful this season
I've come to realise that when Cawley tweets the player's name, usually we're there or thereabouts. He doesn't scupper deals in that way, so I think we should expect this to happen.
Cawley has a direct line to Bowyer and given we know Bowyer likes (or tries) to keep deals under the radar as best he can, i think if Cawley is tweeting something then we know it's either 100% true or a deal is near.
Having said that, Ransom tweeted it first, and he's also highly reliable, so if both are pushing it then it's obviously true.
I don't see how a non league side can turn down a 6 figure fee in the current climate. It could pay their wage bill for months.
There also cant be that many league one clubs who will be paying out 6 figure fees in this current climate.
Having seen both play multiple times, Oztumer is a better player than Shinnie.
I thought we shifted out Oz and Lapslie to make room for a much better player?
Better in what way though? Oztumer has one goal (this year) and (probably) no assists, albeit in the Champ with a stop start season. Not sure you can compare them looking at their pedigree so far, and experience

I’m personally comparing their general play whilst I’ve seen them live. Oztumer stood out at this level and Shinnie didn’t.
Fair enough it hasn’t worked out for Oztumer here, and Shinnie brings bags of experience - I just don’t see where he plays?
I’m quite confident Oztumer will get more goals and assists for Bristol Rovers than Shinnie will for us.
Love this, really feel that we are seeing Bowyer craft the team the kind of team that he wants - seems clear that the emphasis is on experience, which seems like a very good idea.
To me it looks like its Sorba OR Smyth for the wide/winger place. Was Cawley referring to Smyth just then or Sorba ? Can't see us signing both as we still NEED A STRIKER WHO CAN SCORE US THE GOALS WE NEED TO WIN GAMES.
In my opinion the latter won’t happen. Just have to hope that the likes of Bogle and Washington can score more goals in a season than they have ever done before.
If you look at there best goal scoring Washington got better than 1 in 3 for Peterborough and Bogle better than 1 in 2 for Grimsby. If you forget they both didn't score in the championship that's 2 in 3, or better between them.
Some of your lot are mad. Talking about underwhelmed etc.
1. We are a league one club with a salary cap. 2. We have missed most of the transfer window due to ownership. 3. There is not this pool of proven attacking talent out there we can just pick up and sign.
Anyone that comes in i'm happy with. Everyone improves under Bowyer.

If he's from Luton, my guessing is he's a bit of a lump? Otzumer did have a tendency to get blown off the ball. I think we know Bowyers thinking about this season if it happens.

Social Media is a LOT LOT worse!!

Prepare for deadline day meltdown.
Thats the type of player that we need to get us promoted
People cant handle us signing solid players from Luton on twitter but are happy with us bringing in an untested kid from Boreham Wood?
