Mason Burstow hadn't developed physically but he still played and scored early doors despite being bullied by CB. The irony was he never looked like scoring after his move to Chelsea which took me by surprise on D day.

No wonder TS is being cute with his money . Add Lavelle and Kirk and he’s spent a lot for little outcomeForeverAddickted said:

If it was the last window i imagine that budget was then spent on Aneke.Braziliance said:
Well we all know that can’t be true, TS doesn’t spend fees on players bla bla bla.supaclive said:Good news is, if we are bidding 600k on Pigott, it’s in the same region as Stocktons valuation. Can certainly see us making that flashy signing where TS gets to put on the shades and get the guitar on the go for the announcement2 -
Had a dream recently where he scored 4 against us at The Valley. Could of been 4 own goals. All good finishes though.Redhenry said:would love Stockton, a bit of Yann there I thought...1 -
Assuming his first choice is close to Sutton, there are not enough goals in that line-up, even with Payne instead of JFC. We struggled to score enough goals last season with Stockley AND Washington on the pitch at the same time, and Aneke on the bench. There is nobody in the squad with a goal scoring record anywhere near as good as Washington's. So where are the goals coming from?balham red said:
What formation are you expecting us to play? Obviously we will have 3 CMs that is a given. So I assume you think we will be playing 3-5-2? Which would make Kirk, DJ and CBT defunct.Southbank said:
We need a first choice striker who can start and play 90 minutes with Stockley. Aneke is our 3rd choice striker as he will only be on the pitch for 30m per game.balham red said:
As someone wiser said earlier in the thread, if you are worrying about the 3 strikers we have not being enough for the 1 striker spot, surely the 3 wide players we have for 2 spots would be more of a concern?mendonca said:

That being said, now Davison has gone I'm quite sure we'll get a loanee in that can be 3rd choice striker. And assumedly a loanee wide player and a loanee defender.
Nah, we are clearly playing a 4-3-3. So where does this first choice striker fit?
If you mean to replace Stockley, I'd be fine with that but it's not going to happen, and if we got rid of Stockley there would be a lot of mouths frothing about Sandgaard. Stockley won't be anything but first choice and Chuks would be a waste as not the main sub of him.
As it happnes, DJ and CBT both operated reasonably as wing backs and Egbo, Clare and Sessegnon can all play there.. But Kirk would be redundant that is true,. Given he is still pretty unproven that is no great loss.
I would play 3-5-2 with this squad because of the lack of goals in any of the possible 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 line-ups. We have 4 decent centre backs, 4 decent wing backs and 4 decent centre mids, ie plenty of choice for rotation (excluding JFC if he leaves). We just need one good extra starting striker.0 -
just been told we may be looking at Jack Diamond of Sunderland

Perhaps Garner liked what he saw.2 -
I read that recently on the other other forum (no, not that one). It said he was mentioned on a few sites, but no idea what those are as it was the first mention I saw.Swisdom said:just been told we may be looking at Jack Diamond of Sunderland

Fair enough, everyone's entitled to their opinion of course, but for me if we're playing DJ and CBT at wing back this season it's a no from me. We saw how that worked out last season.Southbank said:

Wonder if he's an alternative option to McKirdy
McKirdy last season: 23-goals | 13-assists
Diamond last season: 14-goals | 9-assists
The latter is three years younger though, looks primarily a winger who can play on either the left / right flanks, although can play as a central Attacking Midfielder - Whereas McKirdy is more of a central / wide Striker.0 -

Only 1 has really left, Aneke replaced Davison in January for all the difference it made.mendonca said:

Diamond primarily a left winger / number 10 type. Had a decent goal return in a struggling side (13 in 39).0
