    Pleased with May, him and Leaburn give genuine hope of 35 goals. With the supposed injury to Leaburn we will need another striker fairly soon, I think we will grab one on loan.

    Pleased with the signing of May but he'll need a strike partner to come I guess for at least the first 4-6 weeks minimum of the season if not more - whether that's permanent signing or a loan remains to be seen.

    Just hope May isn't another Ajose where the goals dry up when he signs for us.

    Cracking signing that. Scores plenty with his left leg too. My bloods pumping now! 
  • Leaburn + Aneke, Sorry if I've missed something here but has there
    been any official news re injuries or is it still speculation?

    As long as he’s not like Luke Varney and disappoints I’ll be happy.  He’s always been a bastard against us so hopefully he becomes our bastard 
    Bet you were jumping up and down that Friday evening in February when he scored two against Palace?😎

    I hope he's got more to his game than being a poacher, they're a dying breed for a reason
    He scored 43 League One goals for Cheltenham in two seasons. I think that requires a bit more than just being a poacher
    Maybe we are confusing each other here but I don't understand. I'm saying I hope he has more to his game than just nicking goals, and you're saying well he has scored lots of goals...
    I'm saying that you don't get that many goals for a side that doesn't create a huge amount and has the budget of a side that should be looking at relegation by just being a poacher. Cheltenham can't afford to carry a player who just pounces on chances, May is a part of where those chances come from. He's involved in more than just the end product. He got 7 assists across the two seasons, making him their 4th highest assist-maker in 21/22 and joint 3rd highest in 22/23, and he does a lot of work running in behind, stretching defences and linking up play so that the chances he finishes can happen. He also creates a fair few of his own chances. His goal return is reflective of him being more than just a poacher
    I hope you're right! We'll soon find out.

    Said all along the takeover won’t stop us spending money in the transfer window .. 275,000 on a 3 year deal …….

    If we are going to regularly play a 2 we need 4 strikers + Aneke and Kanu so we need two more.

    I know it's a fresh broom as it's Holden's first proper transfer window but the outs could be as important as in the ins, especially if we go "all in" on 1 way of playing.  They could actually generate a bit of extra spends.

    I think we might go with 3 strikers plus a winger who could play up top ala Leko/Green plus Kanu/ Aneke. Maybe we’ll get 2 if Leaburn is out for quite a bit. 

    That’s if the plan is 352. The winger situation is interesting as you won’t want many but will probably need some options. Which is why I can see a winger/striker signing.

    Could a way of getting round TS payinh fees be structuring any pre takeover deals 0 up front anf full fee first day of the season? That way the new owners arent putting anything in until theyre through the door

    @golfaddick, it nearly looks like we may have paid a fee for a forward?!

    Would Cheltenham let him go of they couldn't spend some of the money?

    Can't help feeling we are going to get some good and bad news about forwards. 
    Are you thinking Bonne is going to sign again?
  • This is most exciting signing we’ve made in years if we get it over the line. 
    Feel like people said similar about Kirk

    I genuinely feel like Kirk is going to have a Naby Sarr like renaissance for us this year

    As long as he doesn’t play at Wembley! 👀
  • TS Has to be using some sort of klarna deal on this, why on earth would he spend any money just as he is Leaving the club?? 
    Been confirmed we’ve received no fee for wollacott and most likely be the same for lavelle, so why would he part with 250k? Confusing

    Sorry I have probably missed it but where was it confirmed and where has Lavelle gone?

    To be honest I have no doubt we'll find some way to get the absolute worst out of him. Probably play him in goal or something

    We won’t be paying the fee up front, it will be in instalments, likely not going to cost TS anything as there will be cash in the club from season tickets and the following instalments will be paid by the new owners so assume they have signed off the spend.
