BradKnowles1 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 The club have been pushing this Stones deal all summer. They were close last Thursday. I would not be surprised if he ends up at somewhere like Bradford. we clearly need a striker who can hold the ball. We get nowhere near with Fondop starting majority of games.

Lee Sinnott Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 1 hour ago, aaronoafc said: Is there a reason why we couldn’t get the deal done before then? Or is it a case of Wigan are holding out currently for the best option? I don't know this for a fact, but I imagine all clubs would rather their players were playing in the EFL. Once that window closes and it no longer becomes an option, then the likes of us, Barnet, Rochdale, Forest Green have better opportunity to sign these kind of players...

The Bradford guy who was supposedly going to Wigan so Stones could come to us, is now going to Fleetwood it seems. So Stones to Bradford could be an option.

Loans usually go 6 months to January or the end of the season. everything has been agreed and Wigan have their replacement.

We will need to see a vast improvement from 2 of these 3 if we are compete in the top 4. They are key We ain't getting better than Conlon in his role whilst we are operating on the budget we are. Agree on Lundstram and Hammond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boyyou Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 (edited) Stones will be reet, so long as we don't expect him to be the second coming of Alan Shearer. More of a younger version of Garner I think in that he will pester defenders, press well, run the channels and, hopefully, finish as well as he did in his first spell. A useful addition.

Only Blue Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 As someone mentioned Stones is not our saviour, he is a young lad who may have a dip in form but I think overall if he shows the determination and clever play like last time he does improve the team massively. He seemed to love it here as well and it just seemed to work, let's hope it does again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightDN123 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 The pressure isn’t on Stones to score, but he needs to chip in with his fair share. The pressure is on Norwood to score our goals. Which I’m sure Stones will help with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
