That was May, surely? To expect to get two L1 proven strikers in one window is pushing it. That route leads to Maddison.Redhenry said:We have had plenty of time to address that. I have a feeling we will bring in a kid on loan. Big gamble/risk that.
We should bring in a proven striker.
Don't get the Maddison comment either, as he didn't work out we shouldn't try to sign good players?1 -
Dickhead or not, JCH would be my pick.
Would be the perfect battering ram for May to play off and around. Plus he weighs in with a regular haul of goals.
Perhaps we’re waiting til the 11th hour to test Darragh’s resolve. £1m now or nothing in 12 months.5 -
If we by some miracle got a sustained spell from a fit and bustling Aneke we could relax.
JRS was probably the best loan ever looking at it from every perspective, we’re not usually that lucky with loaned strikers or forwards .2 -

God I hope so! Darragh MacAnthony is a wanker of the highest order. Mates with Southall is all you need to know about the bloke.ShootersHillGuru said:

More importantly, when Ipswich chucked out all that money and signed 15 players within a week of the market opening, did that end up with promotion or even the playoffs ?TeeC said:When Ipswich bought everyone that summer - did they go early or also wait til the end for a lot of them? Genuine question, not being clever1 -
I'm hoping against hope that the club are releasing no updates on Chuks as he is our secret weapon to be unleashed, fully fit, and ready for 90 minutes on Saturday....19

Every club in L1 wants a proven striker. We have brought one in. If we had unlimited funds available, then yes, by all means lets just buy the best L1 players in all positions and sail home a la 2011, but those days are gone and we aren't in that position. The Maddison comment was because if we are looking to get a player for less that they seem to be worth we end up buying into problems. Of course we want to go up, but we aren't able to buy our way to promotion, we may have to also rely on the nous of Dean Holden to use the resources available as best he can.North Lower Neil said:

11pm, September 1st. We tried to get another striker in but their club wouldn't let them go because they missed out on their target. Another we couldn't agree a fee. But don't worry as Miles should be fit in two weeks and Chuks is expected back early November after suffering a set back when he broke his toe nail.
I get we don't want to bring any old striker in for the sake of it, that we are waiting for our preferred option but it's a dangerous game to play. And we know how this normally plays out. Before 1st Sept there are 15 points up for grabs. With only 1 real striker option at the moment we could find ourselves playing catch up. It's the same old same old.

We are playing Orient on Saturday. The have already signed Piggott & yesterday they signed Jordan Graham (ex Gills) and looking to being in another striker.
The reason.......2 of their strikers are currently injured - 1 long term (ring any bells).
Will be interesting to see who comes on top on Saturday. The team that plays with 1 recognised striker plus a make do & mend or the team with a coherent strategy.11 -
That was a flippant comment as they didnt sign 15 players in a week, but they signed a lot of players and finished mid table the season before last and everyone was panicking because we didn't do the same (bit like now). But if we ended up with another squad of shite then people would also complain.Scoham said:

We bloody well should be if we aren't. Sorry to go full Golfie but you can't go into the season with 3 strikers if your playing two every week.Scoham said:
Are we sure we’re looking to bring in two strikers?Cafc43v3r said:
We really need 2 strikers and one of them, in all likelihood is going to be a journeyman or a young loan.Redvalleyeast said:Would rather wait and get the players in that Dean and co want, think we've all had enough of 'journeyman' type players being signed,just because its a player in a position we need
We have got 5 games before the window closes, I would rather a striker, even if its a 6 month loan or a short term contract, in the building ASAP. Then you can afford to wait for your first choice target.
We currently have the worst of both worlds.
If we are I’d still rather wait a few games to potentially get two better players than rush to get a lesser player in thinking he’ll do as cover.
Of we had 3 now we would still have Kanu, or Kirk, or Campbell as sub striker. 1-0 down with 15 minutes to go who you going to call?
I know that even in Powell's title winning season we started one early game with Waggy up front, fine as a one off.2 -
I think it will be one and one is fine if it’s a good one.Cafc43v3r said:

Leaburn
New Signing
with backup options being Campbell, Kanu, (Kirk if still here) (Aneke if a miracle happens)
I think it’s probably too much to expect to have 5 proper striking options (Aneke swallows up a lot of budget so you have to count him in the equation even if he’s not playing)0 -

We don't have enough attacking variety to change our approach during a game, or via the subs bench. We also don't possess any height to threaten the opposition.
That's where I'm at with our attacking weaknesses.3 -
Dr Billericaydickie in the house, diagnosing players from the stands and recently, you would assume, over their garden walls and demanding their medical retirement. Somebody contact the GMC, he's gone rogue!Billericaydickie said:The big problem we have is Chuks A&E.In 2023 he has been out injured since February.Even before this latest injury in February, he only appeared as a sub in a few matches, where in my opinion watching as a spectator he definitely lacked mobility.Let’s us be realistic, he is never going to be fit, and
his playing days are over.
Therefore he should be medically retired.We need a forward capable of playing 30 or 35 matches a season, not a forward capable of playing 30 or 35 minutes once or twice a month, if we are lucky.

This is such a lazy opinion, the guy might be marmite but he has successfully run a league one club for years and done it well. As for being mates with Southall that isn’t true, he met him at Southalls request to do some business and get advice… not Darraghs fault what Southalls intentions were…Pelling1993 said:

Where is the 'JCH is a dickhead' stuff coming from? I'm sure I read the same about May before he signed.1

With respect.... no it won't, because the "coherent strategy" is a load of the usual golfie guff. Yes they have more strikers available for THIS ONE GAME but which prospective strike force is likely to be successful over a whole season?golfaddick said:We are playing Orient on Saturday.

Pigott and Graham, or May and Leaburn/Nombe/JCH?
I know where my money would be.
It's not make do and mend because its not a deliberately pursued strategy. We've got fairly strong evidence of going after 5 top, proven strikers and were successful with one of them already. The actual strategy is going for proven quality, but here in the real world that takes longer than signing dreck from a relegated side.12 - Sponsored links:

We live in Peterborough and know lots of people that have met him and it is common knowledge in Peterborough that he has an attitude and is a Billy big spuds.0 -

But equally they kept a lot of that squad for last season (Only four of those players have left), so you could argue that they didnt need to make as many signings this time last year, instead just needed to fine tune.2 -
Exactly, mod table, which would semd this place into meltdown. Realistically that's probably our route too (building for the following year), although the league this year is weaker than it has been, so it'd be great to take advantage amd at least get into.the playoffs.ForeverAddickted said:

So he has a bit of an ego, big deal. If he scored 25 league goals and we went up then i don't care if he struts around thinking he's Ronaldo.redbuttle said:Chunes said:Where is the 'JCH is a dickhead' stuff coming from? I'm sure I read the same about May before he signed.

Jordan Graham is a winger. So like us they’ve signed one striker and want to sign another.golfaddick said:We are playing Orient on Saturday. The have already signed Piggott & yesterday they signed Jordan Graham (ex Gills) and looking to being in another striker.

I have been around him a handful of times, he is very similar to Marcus Maddison. Pretty sure he wouldn't come to us anyway and worth saying that he's come back for pre season very overweight and looks miles off it.Chunes said:Where is the 'JCH is a dickhead' stuff coming from?

I think they just threw shit and the wall and hoped it would stick that first year, and Paul Cook despite his good record at this level was a massive failure - I remember us playing Ipswich at the end of that season when they beat us 4-0, under McKenna just had a feeling they'd get it right, and reckon it would have worked had he started the season there.shine166 said:

I agree we should, I’m just not assuming the new ownership will see it that way. They may see Kanu as someone to develop or Campbell as a genuine option up front. We’re only guessing at this stage other than knowing we want at least one more.Cafc43v3r said:

They barely finished above us that season...by about 20 points! (& completely outclassed us at Portman road in each of the last two seasons).ForeverAddickted said:
