Apparently Stoke and Watford are interested in Dion Charles. Would be great if he leaves as it would massively weaken Bolton.
Mmmh depends on the fee and whether they bring in 2 forwards of contrasting style to replace him. Some teams mean it for real when they aim for the top 6.

True but would also mean they would be competing with us for a replacement striker and more crucially would have a decent wedge to outbid us so swings and roundabouts

Maybe they can snap him up on the last day of the window then. 👍
They have depth up front with Adeboyejo , Jerome ,Nlundulu and Bodvasson but Charles would be a huge hole to fill for them. Would probably be another club that would look at Sam Nombe as a replacement.

If the rumours around Cosgrove and Stewart are true, I’m not sure I see us going back in for Nombe, at least not in this window.
If both were to sign it gives us:
1. May 2. Leaburn 3. Cosgrove 4a. Aneke 4b. Stewart
Don’t see where a sixth senior striker fits into that group. Now if we were to shift Aneke, or Miles scores 15 goals by Jan and we get an eight figure bid for him, things might be different.

I’d sooner keep dj and Kirk over mcCrappy and Payne
Can we establish a forum rule where if you're trying to come up with a negative nickname for one of our players it has to be at the very least not completely braindead level bad? I'm not asking for much, just the basics. At least make it look like it's even glanced at a pun on its way out

I think I can see the problem with this.
Injuries? Or something else I’m missing?
We have to balance the needs of covering players for injury against collecting strikers like Pokemon cards. I’d love to have May, Nombe, Leaburn, Colby Bishop, Freddie Ladapo and Dion Charles if it was realistic.
Happy to check but does anyone else happen to know if another League One club has six senior strikers on the books?

Agreed. To help out, I've pre-prepared some that people can use should the relevant situation arise.
If he costs us a match by giving away a penalty because of a blatant handball - Conor McHandles.
If he gives an inarticulate and meandering post-match interview - Conor McRambles.
If he's seen stepping off of the coach at an away game sporting open-toed footwear - Conor McSandals.
If he's caught at the Bexleyheath Marriott with a brass and his bodyweight in blow - Conor McScandals.

I think people forget this with Chuks. Yes he will be injured most of the time but he’s still costing us a fair whack each week so you can’t just not include him as an option. Ideally you have 4 plus Aneke but that’s going to be hard to do unless we have a very large budget as Aneke is on a big wage. So 3 plus Aneke and then a wildcard option (Stewart) that is cheap might be the best we can do

Most seem to have 4 listed , Pompey complicate theirs by including Scully and Whyte who are obviously more wingers.
Is it just me or Stewart didn't look that fast or particularly special in that video? His goals were poached from goal mouth scrambles mainly, around pub defenders.
Obviously the club haven't seen him live, so if they're going off the same video, I can't imagine this is anything more than bringing him to our U21's to see if he can be one for the future with some development, if indeed he is coming our way.

Always looks out of shape to me that Conor Mclovehandles

Asked how things are progressing in terms of the transfer window, Holden explained: “Well, we’ve still got our targets. It’s a question that you face in every interview and I totally get it because it’s a topical question obviously for our supporters and for everybody.
“I think the recruitment’s been strong up to now and we still want to be active, but what we don’t want to do is go and rush into making signings. Obviously we’ve picked up one or two injuries, but we don’t want to go and rush a signing that’s not the right one for the football club. There’s still a lot of conversations going on, still a lot of phone calls and still a lot of work behind the scenes. There’s still two-and-a-half weeks to go so we’ll see how the squad looks in the next few weeks.”
Blackpool now the front runners for Cosgrove according to Nixon 🤷♂️ However he’s in the last year of his contract so a cheeky bid now could trump Blackpool’s loan deal.

I would be very disappointed if we signed him for the first team

I just hope we get our man in before it happens cause as you guys say, we will then have competition for targets in this league
We'll know soon enough.

2. Leaburn
3. Cosgrove
4a. Aneke
4b. Stewart

Not very creative today, sorry!
So, unless he's got lost or he got on the wrong plane, there's nothing to see here.
Our collective striker famine gets worse by the hour, and we've got another league fixture tomorrow. Bollocks.
