Would still like an additonal striker, we're playing 2 up top, you can't rely on Chuks and Leaburn will not be match-fit for some months.
If we could bring in Devante Cole would be perfect.
He's useless.
Think useless is slightly harsh, 18 goals and 3 assist in 46 appearances last season. Barnsley went on a really poor run and he had a bit of a drought to go with it, but he's a bit different than what we have.
I'd say he's a decent league 1 striker, worth a go on a free.

Sounds good, all the positions and departures we’ve been expecting.
Any idea if the CB will ideally be left footed (or at least comfortable on that side? And what type of midfielder do you think will come in? There’s a good argument for a solid holding midfielder or a more creative attacking one.
Celtic's new keeper signing Viljami Sinisalo was a target for #cafc.
Exeter City GK coach Kevin Miller, who worked with the Finnish international last season, has revealed the Addicks' interest in the 22-year-old.
Brilliant, so that's now Ruddy, Davies & Sinisalo who would rather sit on the bench than be a #1 for us?
Goalkeepers are different. They spend their careers knowing that their opportunities to play are going to be so limited. Most of the time there will be 20-24 goalkeepers playing across a season and if you're not one of them you might get in off an injury or a loss of form but there's a real chance the number 1 will play 46 games in the league and you'll just sit there every year. Their mindsets are often focused on getting the most they can out of their careers in terms of money and I don't blame them; Ruddy and Davies are coming to the end and Sinisalo will be thinking he'll either get in ahead of Schmeichel or take over from him next season given he's 37. All these teams will pay more than us, I don't think first team football is a pull for a lot of keepers like it is for outfield players

He was outstanding for Exeter last season so at least shows we are looking for a very decent keeper to come in.
A good goalkeeper is 100% worth waiting for and I'd much rather we hold off and try and get someone that Jones actually wants as No1 rather than push the panic button and sign anyone just for the sake of it.
Obviously this does have risks, you don't really want to be bringing in a new GK at the last minute and hoping he settles with the defence properly, but I'm reassured that we seem to be actively looking for someone who is a clear cut above the Isteds and Maynard-Brewers out there.
A really good GK can turn a decent defence into an outstanding one.
Ooo... that was a nice move... Not sure who played the ball, but lovely long ball to Campbell, who got in behind Palace, ended up with a cross but just too high for Hylton
Only issue i have is we seem to be signing Luton Town's Vet's team
Potts in Defence - Berry in Midfield - Hylton up front, all able to guide those around them on the training pitch / in the EFL Trophy, and school them in the ways that Jones likes to operate
I was joking @ForeverAddickted i think tbh, Berry and Pott's in particular are good signings, Given we can only register 22 players + U21's do i really think Hylton should be in that 22? probably not tbh

Oh I know you were lol!... What I posted was one thing I was genuinely thinking the moment I heard Potts

Think he's got a chance of being #1 at Celtic given their other keeper signing was Kasper Schmeichel
Apparently they've paid over 1 million for him, not sure how true that is.
It's nice that we are competing with Celtic for signings though I suppose.
