    I think a club will take a punt on Chuks to be the finisher / super sub.

    For what you’d pay him he’d be worth the risk vs. Us needing him to be fit for 90mins week in week out on those wages. For a champ club to pay him 8k a week and no fee it’s low risk for them.

    I expect him to end up at Luton or somewhere similar

    He scored a couple of corkers at Wigan on Sunday too.

    Aneke could probably do the Taylor at Forest role better than him, as he's used to coming on as a sub.

    I wouldn't begrudge aneke a move to the championship but I'd be hugely disappointed if he signs for another league 1 club.

    More suggestions than rumours but a few players off the top of my head that have impressed me this year. Hoping Lincoln stay down so we can raid them in the window. 

    Simms - Blackpool
    Lowery- Crewe
    Wintle - Crewe
    Dale - Crewe
    James - Doncaster
    Graham - Gillingham
    Dempsey - Gillingham
    Ennis - Plymouth (loan)
    Downes (Ipswich)
    Montsma (Lincoln)
    Grant (Lincoln)
    Edun (Lincoln)
    McGrandles (Lincoln)
    Pigott (Wimbledon)
    Fraser (MK Dons)
    Charles (Accrington)
    Bishop (Accrington)
    Twine (Swindon)
    Harness (Portsmouth)
    Tucker (Gillingham)
    CJ Hamilton (Blackpool)



    Simms was on loan from Everton.......
    Would like Dale, Lowery, Piggot and Twine....Thank you

    Weird one with Chuks, I would be delighted if he stays because he's such a problem when he plays but for how little he plays I am not too bothered if he goes. Would take the likes of Pigott, Oliver, Charles etc over him who have played 40 games this season and racked up goals in the process. We need players who can play the whole season again, not players with fitness/injury woes.

    Wish him all the best if he does go, comes across a nice fella and he is certainly dangerous

    According to Wiki Twine is now at qpr, doubt it would have happened that quickly but just saying  :D

    That Baah winger from Rochdale didn’t end up signing for City in the end did he? 
    I noticed that after scoring twice against us in January he then didn't score again for the rest of the season. Typical.

    A proper couple of rumours.

    Chucks has left, will be on the released list when it comes out. His choice but the door is still open.

    6/10 for the source

    Late last week we started sniffing around a center midfielder who played for a relegated club, from league 1, who is out of contract.  This comes from a source at a league 2 club that wanted him as their "main signing" and was between them and his current club.  We have clouded the water some what.  I could make an educated guess who it is and why we are now intrested. 

    8/10 for the source 2/10 for it amounting to anything. 
    Scott Twine? Just been relegated and out of contract, would be a very good signing
    I don't think so, not because I don't think we would be intrested, but I think this is more of a gamble.  A body until JFC is fit, but could come good if you see what I mean? 
    who is your guess ?
    My guess is someone like Ryan Watson from Northampton.  Which actually makes me confident about the rest of the plan for the midfield as that would be a short term body who could actually prove worthwhile. 
    Wha do you mean by Short Term Body ? Genuine question.
    Someone that could cover the JFC injury and if they don't turn out brilliant wouldn't be that expensive or hard to shift on. 
    Not sure if playing the waiting game regarding JFC regaining full fitness is a good idea. 
    We need to hit the ground running in August not hang around waiting for someone who may not be available until sometime in the new year.

    I think we’ll go out and sign the best two CMs we can (any more are then squad players). It’ll then up to Gilbey, Morgan, JFC and any others to force their way into the team. 

    JFC isn’t so good that he should expect to be back in soon after he’s fit enough. I’d expect the above to happen even if he’s fit and under contract, we need strong competition for places. He’s done well this season but not a player you build a team around.

    Can't see any team investing in Chucks if he has problems which none of us know about,Bowyer and Adkins obviously know

    Seem to remember him failing a medical @ QPR before he joined us for example

    Chuks also has had Covid, before which fitness was a worry, could this have had an adverse effect on his stamina. Is he suffering from a mild form of long Covid?

    Probably not.

    That's how I look at it, on the basis your 3 more often than not, you need 6.  And that was probably, in order

    New and new
    Then JFC, Gilbey, Morgan
    And lastly Watson

    If that was the original plan it would make sense to replace JFC with either a loan but we don't know who else they plan on loaning; keep an extra midfielder you would release other wise; rely on a u23 stepping up or sign a reasonably cheap option that could step up.

    Pay attention to the tense though. He “had” agreed . It’s a rumour but not that he’s ultimately signed.

    Chuks has posted a video on his Instagram story with a few clips of the Valley and him in a charlton top with a ⏳ . I'm gonna guess he's staying based on that?

    Yeah if we're looking into cryptic meanings, I'd definitely say this one seems more likely

    DMAC at Posh has slapped a £700k price tag on Mo Eisa. No idea how this is broken down.

    5 goals in 1300 minutes of football? Not a chance.

    An egg timer to an announcement is how I read it.

    If we sign him for another year, with NA (and our excellent medical team ;-), I would say that's huge. Having Aneke as a Super-Sub and we get to improve our first choice forward options is huge! It's different to needing and wanting Aneke to start every game. Everybody would be clear on their role.

    Ferguson doesn't fit the criteria that Adkins stated he wanted.

    I thought he was looking for more of a young, fit team.

    Didn’t we try and sign Mo Eisa in the January window in our promotion season and weasel Tommy said no at the last minute. Apparently he didn’t rate him. My mate who’s a Posh fan says he’s a good player who had a barren patch and Clarke Harries became the preferred striker.
    We had him ready to go but Bristol City couldn't get in the player they wanted, so refused to release him for a loan. Then he hardly paid the rest of the season.
