I think Andreas Weimann on a free transfer would be a superb squad signing. Always seems to score goals. Only 32. Yeah I mean 1 in 20 for Bristol City and 2 in 13 for WBA last season. 6 in 43 the previous season. His career strike rate is pretty naff bar 21/22 season when he got 22 goals and 10 assists. Only 32 1 in 20 for Bristol City? He scored 50 goals in 204 appearances.

Harsh that our Ty didn't make that list. He's the best attacker of the lot.

Plymouth have signed a couple of players i've not heard of (yet others may). Slavia Prague forward Muhamed Tijani and Leeds United midfielder Darko Gyabi Darko Gyabi sounds like a vampire

Matt Ritchie may be worth a punt as backup to Manhoef? 34 but still a decent player.

For God's sake, can we please stop this "could do a job" talk? It's been clear to see over the past few years, these players really aren't good enough.

Kipre and McNair would be lovely. There’s been talk of Bonham leaving too hadn’t there? If so Rodak would be an upgrade. And obviously Callum O’hare, but surely weve got no chance.

I would take a punt on Armstrong. Looks strong powerful and fast and hope he improves his gol output. 1 year on contract left. Great idea if there were anything like sufficient goals in the rest of the squad but there isn't. The last thing we ought to do is blow the budget on someone with such a poor record of goal involvements. Well we deffo need two strikers through the door. Ennis and Mmaee are all below grade needed. Armstrong and a main goal scorer would be decent pool. Mmaee may go anyway. He just seems the absolute opposite to the high energy quick philosophy SS preaches. Any money back offers and I would think we would snap it up.

Why is Kipre going? Out of contract? Always liked him. We had 1st dibs on him. He lived with a friend of mine whilst on trial here. Is this after he was released from Wigan?!

I presume he played for Brizzle C and WBA last season. So 3 in 33 altogether last season. Which is what it says.

Yea his numbers are really poor last season, and I’m not advocating for his signing for us, but overall he’s been a decent enough player but I’d hope our new direction would make signing ageing players a thing of the past. I don’t mind it with Gibson as CB you can get away with being older as it brings experience but we don’t need another Dwight Gayle

Any money back offers and I would think we would snap it up. Armstrong would be pricey that’s not where you want to spend your budget. Your budget needs to go on that main goal scorer. If you need an Armstrong type take the Jebbison fella on a free but for third choice forward I think Ennis is sufficient. I hope we buy a CF that scores a few and a loan that can play across the frontline. That relegates Mmaee and Ennis to third and forth choices. Much as I’m not keen on either we won’t be getting anything better to fill those spots. Goal scorers are very expensive and loans can be quite punitive if you don’t give them lots of minutes.

It’ll be interesting to see if there’s any movement over the next couple of days before we fly out to Ireland.
Liking the business so far but clearly still work to be done.
Biggest issue to be addressed clearly up front even more so with Mmaee injured.
I can see us going for someone like Browne or McNair to boost the midfield. It’d be nice to get Cundle in sooner rather than later especially as if he does sign he’ll be key to the way we play and hopefully the lad that was at Blackpool (Dembele I think) for wing cover.
Outs could be interesting. I can see SS wanting to move on Johnson, Baker and possibly Laurent.

That’s on par with our strikers. No thanks.

I agree those number are pump, his stats over his career are around 1in5 but it hardly matters if he’s posting the numbers from last season, it would be money down the drain like Ennis or Gayle.

I think we’ve been very savvy so far, 3 players in and around 2mil spent? Not bad at all, hopefully we continue to be shrewd but a decent striker, which we desperately need will probably not be available cheap.

Wonder if Mama would know Koita with him being a Mali international. It would be dreamland. I’d like to think Stoke would be asking the question but it would also come down to wages and whether we could afford/entice these kind of players to the club

So have we and that nearly got us relegated! I've no idea which players you're thinking of I think you might be a bit deluded. I can only think of Burger who remotely fit that description. Go on give me a laugh and name the others. Of course I could but since you are going down the route of personal insults this conversation has reached conclusion!

We have some decent players but non of them are that outstanding.
