Pigott for me, if Ipswich are letting him go. He's got the technical ability to be a different option to Jayden. I like Stockton but there are too many ifs.
Seems like it's a bad year for strikers, can't think of too many good ones who will be available.
I know Piggott personally and trust me he ain't coming to Charlton.
I really wanted us to be 100% big immobile lumps up front ; shame
Have you ever seen pigott play?
'big immobile lumps' pretty good summary!
Wilkes would be a very good signing, and the type of forward we need. If he signs for a league one team, who ever that may be, they would go close.. Very good player at this level!!
I agree although he is probably more of a winger than a striker ?? I can’t get my head round stockley playing in anything other than a 2 up top so if that isn’t the plan I can definitely see some ins and an out
Wide forward I would call him.. But he can play through the middle!
Reading TS' comments, he's said he'd like some to go out on loan to get the right experiences which might free up a couple of places. Reading between the lines, surely the only two in our 21 that that approach applies to are Morgan and Davison, so can we assume they're being loaned out?
We could loan Gilbey out. He doesn’t need experience, but we could just loan him out if we’re too crowded.
We could. But what I was suggesting is TS seems to indicate it'll only be for experience he'd do that. Would hope if he thinks AG should be loaned out, he'd bite the bullet and offload him permanently.
Make no mistake, he would let him out to save more on the wage bill but he'll get slaughtered if he says it.
Doesn't learn does he? Stockley is very one dimensional, Aneke is always injured or can only play 30 mins at a time, Davison struggled to score regularly in the league below this one, and Leaburn is 18 years old and completely unproven.
I'm not sure how effective "Garner-ball" is going to be with a squad full of non-scoring midfielders and that 4 up front, time will tell but I have my doubts
Well I'll go first. If he is relying on an 18 year old and Davison plus two crocks for a strike force than we have absolutely no chance of making the play offs.

Wait and see what happens before we judge his words. We would all like to see options uo front but if we are playing 433 a quick goal scoring wide player is definitely more important

Yes quite a bit - since his youth team days in around 2011/12. You ?
What is true is that it is probably best not to sound desperate for a striker. As a fan of his dad, I dearly hope Miles has a great career but it is wrong to put too much pressure on the lad. If he steps up then he steps up. It could be now, it could be later. When it happens, then you bank on it. The mistake we made last season was thinking the U23s could step up. It happens when it happens and when it does, that is the time you don't need another striker, midfielder etc...

TS letting agents know he isn’t desperate. Smart guy…
Exactly, why people have to rage blackout instead of seeing this I don't know. A month ago he said we'd sign no players untill the end... which turned out to not be the case.
Deluded if he thinks we will get out of this division with Stockley, Aneke who can’t or won’t do 90 minutes, Davison, enough said, and a kid without a single league appearance.

What does his manager think about it? The only opinion that counts if you want to go up this season.
Something we have to consider is the fact that the best loans come late in the window as parent clubs leave the decisions until that time. Sandgaard has mentioned this so he must understanding. The best of these loans are not free and need a lot of work and hopefully we are working on some strong ones.

Wouldn't be surprised if this were the case.
Hopefully Miles and Josh will get some valuable minutes tonight against Colchester, as it will give a better benchmark as to how both could cope against proper EFL sides - Dartford on Saturday was impossible to tell, especially going by their Manager's comments, when he said that their team in the 2nd half was trialists and U18s.
The clips of the Sunderland Chairman, trying to sign Will Grigg on Deadline Day and paying vastly over the odds is probably a good example of how a lot of fans (at any clubs) would approach the Transfer Market.
I'm seeing a different side to TS and his public comment. The reason Cawley and others still ask him for a quote on how the tea was brewed is because a year ago you couldn't shut him up. He was a media dream. He was outspoken and at times outlandish on a number of key issues - from "blowing the league" to the 5 year plan to the "ladies" debacle.
Now I'm noticing he still speaks almost as much but he barely says anything of any substance or material opinion at all. He says things that are more slow-paced and sensible and often from the perspective of commending what or who we have. I listened to him speak on Saturday and thought the same. He struck the right balance between candid and respectful over Jokat for example.
I see this as a good thing. We all (him included) needed a lot less hot air and a focus on actual delivery.

Agreed, get our business done under the radar, no fan fare, no promises. He's learning.

Personally think we will see Davison move on and someone will be brought into replace him. Fully expecting that player to be a back up to Stockley. Can see why there is no rush when we already have the main guy, just looking for his back-up.
If you ask any manager they probably want more signings than the owner allows. That’s just a part of football.

Did Leaburn and Kanu play in the same team last season or were they in different age brackets?
ML is older than DK by a year or so

Win matches.
