and he is now 30 & passed his best.
Ok - if he signs for a championship club and scores more than 20 goals (or, if injured, better than 1 in 3) then I'll be happy to eat my hat.

Managed to question Powell twice about signing new strikers after the two matches in Gib and Marbella, he seems pretty stressed around the whole issue. Sighing and giving comments like "don't even go there".
Obviously having a lot of trouble signing the right people at the moment.0 -
Pretty sure this guy was on trial with us:

This is a very worrying post. We must have had targets when Fuller and Haynes were released or at least I hope we did and yet nothing. I have a suspicion that Powell has and is being messed about and I don't mean by players and their agents.RZA said:Managed to question Powell twice about signing new strikers after the two matches in Gib and Marbella, he seems pretty stressed around the whole issue.

Well i doubt highly scp would state or show his cards to fans at a match not saying it didnt happen just dont believe all he says to people0

Agree NLA. He's a clever bloke - not a liar but very good with words and people.0

Not sure about that. A comment like eg "things are moving slowly" or "these things take time" would hardly be seen as showing his hand would it ? RZA's post implied he was stressed and as for Powells comment "don't even go there" shows his hand even more IMHO.nth london addick said:Well i doubt highly scp would state or show his cards to fans at a match not saying it didnt happen just dont believe all he says to people

The right way to go about things is to get your signings lined up or even in the building before letting your existing players go. We are now laughably and woefully short up front. Other clubs / players will know that and inflate the price / wage of any players we are after. Whilst we can argue about the need to panic, nobody can claim this is an ideal situation less than a month before the season.0

When players are released at the end of their contracts, it's not possible to keep hold of them until you bring others in. We can't keep players on "just in case" unfortunately, you have to take that gamble.DamoNorthStand said:The right way to go about things is to get your signings lined up or even in the building before letting your existing players go.

Agree. Powell's reluctance to communicate, the sighing and stress, speak volumes. Indicates to me that he is being frustrated by more than just players and agents, as SHG says. It's worrying.ShootersHillGuru said:

You don't actually know that.cs1986 said:
And the fact Haynes could only get a league 1 contract...Covered End said:
That's Danny "I can't play more than a handful of games without getting injured" Haynes & you're asking why ?LargeAddick said:McLean wouldn't be a bad signing. Lost his way at Hull but a decent striker in there. However, not better than Haynes in my opinion so why let Haynes go? And before someone says it yes is only a rumour.
Ridiculous question.
He may well have had offers from Championship clubs, but chose to sign for Notts County as they offered him the best paid deal.
And I wouldn't want to criticise Haynes for that - he may well have a nagging fear in the back of his mind, that his vulnerable hamstrings are likely to cut short his career.

As Oggy says. Notts have offered two years with the option of a third. If Champ clubs were only offering a year even on slightly better wages what would you do?0

Tbh, no. I've heard his name mentioned a few times before as a prospect but I havent actually seen him play.WSS said:Munns is on the bench for the XI today. @JohnBoy, know anything about him?

Dont know if you guys are aware, Obika played for Spurs in a friendly at Brentford over the weekend and played 45 mins. The most telling thing is that he hasnt been included in the 25 man squad for the Barclays Asia Trophy in HK.0 -
Maybe that will seal it for Obika. I get the feeling that being an ambitious chap Obika wanted to make sure he definitely was not in Spurs plans before leaving. From what Powell said about Obika not getting anywhere with Spurs (in Powell's opinion), maybe not being selected in the 25 man squad will prove to Obika that he isnt really part of any concrete plans for the first team there and that his future lies elsewhere (The Valley)0
