  • Not sure on Telford, only 25 but I'm a bit concerned that prior to this season, he had only scored 13 in his previous 107 league appearances (most of which were in League 2). 
    I hope we don’t sign him. Feels like it would be Nicky Ajose part 2 and he can only play in a front 2 so I doubt we will go for him 
  • Bloody hell, his mate tells him well done for securing a decent shilling contract and we all think he’s signing!
    Agree that some are making a presumption but it's not unrealistic. Top scorer in the league and has announced he's leaving Newport. Be very surprised if he's not a League 1 striker soon.

    Agreed, not what we need imo.

    If we’re going 4-3-3 or continuing with 3-5-2 let’s get some pace upfront to play off Stockley/Aneke.

    Oh no we don't.......

    Be interesting. If we go 352 we definitely need a pacey striker to play off Stockley. If we go 433 then we'll have CBT but agree we'd definitely need another one with pace, especially if we are keeping DJ and Kirk. I have to admit I don't think that's promotion winning wingers, wouldn't be against DJ leaving.

    I think it’s more likely he goes to Salford or Stockport. They’ll have larger budgets than maybe all of the league 1 teams that would want him 
  • I thought Telford was heading to Wrexham.

  • He does have some L1 pedigree, but in fairly poor sides, two of which got relegated.

    I'm not sure Taylor is that much of a comparison though, as the previous season before we signed him Exeter finished above us in 8th in the table 1 point off the playoffs, so had shown he could be part of a promotion seeking L1 side. That would be like us signing a player from Plymouth or the likes of Lincoln or Shrewsbury in recent seasons, the overachieving smaller club in L1.

    If O'Connell is a success, it will be because he's a stand out player in a poor L2 side, and can step up to be part of a promotion seeking L1 side (as opposed to one happy to just survive).
    I get that you're saying Taylor showed he could be part of a good L1 side, but as an individual there's only so much they can do. Taylor happened to be part of a good Exeter side, the difference between them and Rochdale could have been a three or four good midfielders and attackers.

    In 19/20 Rochdale finished 18th in L1, two years later they finished 18th in L2. Given he's in his mid 20s it's likely the club has changed around him rather than O'Connell becoming a L2 player.

    Stepping up to be part of a L1 top 6 side isn't a massive stretch for a someone with L1 experience if we make the right signings and put together a balanced team.
  • Swindon signing a new goalkeeper on loan from Middlesbrough, their number 1 from last year Wollacott likely to move on.


    Every time I hear that name it makes me think of Tim Wonnacott.


  • It’s tomorrow now, where are these signings
  • So currently in terms of first-team players we've lost (that actually featured towards the end of the season): 

    Henderson > Maynard-Brewer
    Purrington
    Gunter
    Matthews
    Pearce 
    Famewo > O'Connell
    Leko > Kirk
    Lee
    Burstow > Davison
    Washington

    Seems like we probably need 5/6 more players.

    I think we're probably 7 short in terms of quantity - 4 FB's, a CB, a CM and a Winger. That would give us two players for each position (if we're playing 433) and then Clare as a utility man and Aneke as a third choice striker. A 24 man squad so 1/2 need to be U21. I also think we need another CM on top and a third striker as a minimum, with Gilbey/Morgan and Davison leaving. Personally I think that's the minimum requirements to reach top 6, although I'd also like to get rid of DJ and get another winger in. Might also need a new keeper to play the way it looks like we will.

    Willing to give Charlie another chance, but would prefer us to get other replacements for Leko and Burstow.
  • So who is the next signing today Tom Telford ? 
  • Sorry Dom Telford - left Newport 3 days ago

    Mckirdy could be a a good one.
  • Still hoping we go try to sign Lewis Hall on loan from Chelsea.

    Excellent talent who can play centre back, left back, and left wing-back. Only 18 but is very comfortable and mature on the ball and can physically look after himself too.
  • Morning all! I'm excited to see who our next man is through the door. I'd guess one of the Swindon players.

    Will garners assistant staying at Swindon stop us getting their players ?? Coincidence he was announced similar time to our first signing ?? Hopefully just a coincidence

    We need another 5 or 6 in terms of numbers but probably also need to replace 3 or 4 as well. 

    I think the two mentioned yesterday and a loan are still possible by Friday, that would give us something to work with in Spain.

    Still a hell of a lot to do but a good start.

    Never heard of him but I wouldn’t expect us to bring in loans this early.

    Wiki says he's still only 17, but given he's played for their first team already i'd be surprised if they want him to drop down as low as league one.
