    @Redhenry seemed to be hinting that something might be happening on the Crofts signs thread.

    He's probably waiting for a more attractive offer but Welling are still undecided.

    Obviously had other offers the offer we gave him as far as I know wasn't that bad , but at the end of the day it's up
    To the player himself and as it is nowadays the Agent ?

    Oscar Gobern on trial. Always thought of him as being quite decent myself but don't know an awful lot about him.

    Listed as a midfielder but not exactly a prolific goalscorer with 4 goals in over 100 senior appearances.

    He's on the young side at 25 years old and most likely hungry to prove himself after a disappointing season with QPR. The sort of signing Powell would've made in the summer of 2011.

    He will have played with Lee Novak at Huddersfield.

    We was linked with him a month or so ago. I don't particularly like him myself and wouldn't want him as a first 11 player but he'd be a decent enough squad player.

    Given that we now have Crofts though (hopefully as a squad player) I can't really see the point in this one.

    CEJ doesn't rate him. Certainly not better than Crofts & O'Hara.

    Very good player for league 1.

    What's frustrating me is I keep getting these line ups in my head that will never come to pass.....

    Moore
    Solly
    Fox
    Pearce / Tex
    Bauer
    Holmes
    Gobern
    O Hara
    Harriott
    Novak
    Ajose

    Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe he's a League-One-esque Jordan Cousins?

    Quite depressing that we've sold JC to QPR while they release Gobern...

    Well as we are in league one perhaps that's not a bad thing.

    Thank god. Let's hope Russell gets his half a dozen.

    By my reckoning we need:

    x1 GK - an obvious need, I'm hoping we secure Moore
    x1 RB - back-up for Solly (Buxton? Foley?)
    x1 CB - Pearce would be good, Buxton is also an option here
    x1 RM - we know Slade likes to play with one winger so Foley is the obvious option, maybe O'Hara
    x1 CM - must be creative!!! (Gobern on trial, maybe O'Hara again)
    X1 FW - another target man is a necessity, Novak can't be expected to go 46 games a season. KAG is adequate back-up for Ajose.

    As my notes suggest a couple of these players are utility and can cover multiple positions, in theory signing Foley or Buxton could reduce the number of signings needed from six to five.

    This is, however, the minimum we need in my opinion, and that depends on no further outgoings. If Tex and/or Bauer leaves, we need replacement centre backs and if Diarra and/or Kashi goes, we probably need another midfielder.

    I rate Gobern. Be nice to get a few in this week!

    Thing is I like who we are being linked with - for league 1 they have excellent pedigree.

    Pearce
    O hara
    Gobern

    Even Foley.

    The next 5 days will say a lot as to whether Russ will have anything like a chance or if both hands will remain firmly tied.

    Positive. Maybe they've listened to his interview yesterday?

    Lets hope it doesn't mean any significant outs to finance it all!

    I like the sound of signing Moore, Pearce, Buxton, O'Hara. Throw in Gobern (I'd rather have Maddison but I'm not too picky...) plus another forward and we have a competitive squad for the season ahead.

    Anyone have a Kermorgant cloning machine?

    Don't think Buxton is in the equation anymore. Suspect it will be Foley. He will be seen as cover for midfield and right back.

    My preference would've been Buxton as he can fill in at centre back. Foley doesn't fill me with confidence as a midfielder. But I accept that's the more likely option now.

    How many new signings will get long-term deals I wonder?

    Reading feedback of friendlies it seems that Buxton was the only one of 3 trialists that impressed but we will sign the other historical crocks regardless and let him look elsewhere.
