     :D yes there are worse but it looks like an old man rather than the beefy giant that he was - i've always felt that

    After signing Kirk I would be surprised if Soloman Otomar or Sims was under consideration. 

    Surely we would need a left footed Winger now. DJ and Kirk are both right footed. 
    You don’t find too many left footed wingers anymore. Lots are right footed who either play on the right or play on the left and cut in.

    The left footed ones who are good usually end up playing in a higher division.

    Be nice if we could find one.

    Solomon-Otabor rumours been around a while, he apparently failed a medical with us.
    yes and was apparently was offered a deal which reflected that which he turned down - maybe he has had a re think - please don't doubt my info dazzler - thought you had learnt that by now - its from a cast iron source    
    Wasn't doubting was adding to JamesSeeds understanding of it.

    Separate thread for: How many goals will we score?

    Please.
  • Think there could be something in the Tobi Omole rumour.
    3 professional games in the EFL trophy 3 yellow cards….things you love to see!

    Couple of things - the supposed TS LinkedIn message was posted elsewhere but not by who we are all assuming!
    Secondly TS hasn't stopped talking to fans on LinkedIn, I can vouch for that, and before anyone assumes differently I've been in contact with TS for just over 12 months, and 'No' I've not been talking to him about transfers or anything on the playing side. 
    Oh nice one, so he did agree to a threesome with Mrs TS then.

    Not really, Kirk was noted for playing on the left despite being right footed and I'm sure DJ has at least temporarily played on his "off" foot before.

    Adkins seems to be favouring wingers/forwards who can interchange/swap positions around a pivot (i.e. Stockley).
  • Still not sure that starting 11 has enough goals in it.
    Stockley 15-20
    DJ & Kirk 15-20 between them
    Gilbey 5-10
    Morgan 5
    Clare 5
    Inniss & other defenders 5
    Washington 10

    That’s a 60-75 goals. The numbers add up quickly.
    Sean Clare got 2 goals in 58 games at Gillingham, Oxford and Burton.
    Morgan has 1 league goal in his career.
    The most Gilbey has ever got in a season is 5.

    All would have to improve dramatically to reach your numbers. Not impossible of course, and i hope they do, but it's a bit unlikely.

    I'd rather us have the biggest depth in defence, cos then a lot of the attacking can take care of itself if you have enough quality going forward.

    Think we need a LB, CB, LW or RW and Striker.

    Clare also scored 7 in 54 in the league (12 in 71 including cups) for Hearts, though that included some penalties.

    I’d like to see us sign playmaker in CM with an eye for goal, but I wouldn’t rule out a few players stepping up and adding more goals to their game.

    Gilbey showed signs of it last season, with the right role he had freedom to get forward and got something like 3 in 10 towards the end of the season.

    Morgan’s shooting accuracy is the worst of any attacking player in the history of professional football.

    Pacey LB/wing back/left winger according to wiki.

    Telling that as the EPL is due to start the number of rumours about young players ramps up.
