Im pretty certain that we’re still trying for a striker (Hugill). Whether we’ll get him or not remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we certainly don't want to upset the applecart by doing an Ipswich (5 new players?) and destabilising our clear progress. Expect we're looking for one further striker, but might not be unduly worried if we can't do the deal. Agree, PW has said he likes a smaller squad, although I think a defender who can play both Right Back and Centre Half (potentially loan to buy) would be the limit, but only if one falls in our lap, especially as January prices will be too rich for our current blood.

Sparkle Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Whilst we need another centre forward for emergencies that man Chris Martin is apparently being the subject of a lot of enquiries from league one clubs - if we can’t get anyone else he wouldn’t be a bad one to have in the run in if we lose McGoldrick and Collins - the chances are we are going to see him again even if it’s in a opposition squad RoyMac5, Day and Wolfie20 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Don't think anything is set in stone. If Warne kind find players with the ability and work ethic to add something or provide cover, they'll be in. If he can't they won't. I think he will be aware that the biggest impediment to promotion may well be injuries to key players though, so I suspect they will be working hard rather than being sat there thinking, well we're doing ok right now.

Yep I listened to everything he says but my reference was to him being available, probably moving to league one and potentially all we can get and in the third division he may well prove to be very useful if we were short handed up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw him close down plenty in his last season here. He looked pretty fit too. But according to the tweet by that Mirror bloke we wouldn't be after him cos him and Collins are similar players! ?

Meme it off if you want, but it's true, speed and pace is not an attribute he has. That's not even being critical, not all players are blessed with it. I would suggest the Mirror bloke has made an extremely lazy comparison with Collins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM is a striker that held the ball up and did the damage in the box, If CM was defending a corner it would take him 10mins to catch up our last defender once the ball was cleared.

It's just not true though, not here looking to downplay what Martin can offer a team. Collins covers more ground, helps out defensively, honestly comparing apples with oranges here. 48 hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waghorn could play a number of positions across the front line though, so still not a great comparison either. RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
