“Devonte Campbell, one of our first academy players to graduate into the first team, has arrived at Charlton Athletic FC where he will spend the next 10 days having a training experience with the English League 1 club.”
Any rumours of another striker coming in, could really have done with someone leading the line yesterday, to keep the ball up there, and lay it off to others.
We should have a squad to play both formations not having wingers is a joke let's get rid of our best one most exciting that can beat a man and finish and stock up elsewhere,how about getting a striker another decent winger and keeping our best players club is royally fecked imo
You're talking like the club want him to go, which isn't the case.
There's a big difference between us getting rid of him and him turning down a new contract.
Would be very happy with this on a short term basis with a view to a permanent.
I'm not delusional enough to say he'd be as impactful as JCH, but he'd certainly enable May if we could get the variation of Stockton we have seen take us apart.
Oh god not my arch nemesis ha ha! Someone tell me I’m asleep and this is a nightmare.
Just going to mention, as I did the last time people were having a meltdown when we didn’t go for him - he’s never played ‘down south’ before - and I don’t see that changing now.
To be honest feels a little like lazy clickbait journalism from Nixon to me, pulling the name out of the ‘target striker’ hat, because the JCH deal looks like it’s falling through.
Not convinced about Stockton. Hasn't worked for him at Burton at all. I don't want to be left in another Tedic situation of course but I'd be seeing what's possible with Ladapo and Humphreys before looking at Stockton.

Agree with this but we need a presence up top desperately. I don't think Leaburn is the answer to that either when fit as he needs to work on his strength and hold up play. Chuks is our only option in that role and he's available 5mins a season!
Could Stockton be signed quickly and basically fill the gap until we land someone better, towards the end of the window? If Miles and Chuks aren't going to be back very soon, it would allow us to loan out Kanu again, or rotate him in and out of the 16 instead of relying on him.
Burton forum views on Stockton. Heartening to know that we are not the only team who buys players who ‘spend more time on the physio bench, have a bad attitude, and the team does not play to their strengths’.
Concerns: I've been suckered by showreels before; it's in league two; why did Bradford loan him out; is he really likely to be someone who can take us to the top of league one and beyond.
BUT: If Peterborough can spot young strikers who make a massive impact and become expensive, hot properties, we should be capable of doing the same.

Straight swop deal for Terrell Thomas who they were after last season.
We need a true leader at the back. Reading captain Tom Holmes would improve us in that department.
I don’t think Ness or Thomas are good enough for a promotion squad.
