penrhyn Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Every possibility Mellon wants a striker that will grow with us and be good enough for league 1 especially if we are going to pay a substantial fee. Bit frustrating though because Forest green have taken it up a notch. Heard the Asamoah deal was on the cards he is a winger so dont know if it will still trigger Stones release . But there is talk of another forward addition at Wigan guess we will have to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably spent more on funding Stop Oil protests than Frank has spent on Oldham Athletic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that what we did with Abraham, Peck, Stones etc...? Thought we still could sign permanently, Didn’t we sign Reid outside of the EFL window?

diggleblue Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 1 hour ago, diggleblue said: Asamoha allegedly signed for Wigan. Another piece of the jigsaw falls into place. 6 figure sum so they'll need to get some money off us for Stones. Watch this space? Also Wigan have signed winger/striker Shayden Harris from Aberdeen and asamoah and Humphreys gone to Barnsley so Stones must surley be happening??

Think it would be different if we signed a player from a fellow non league side, like we did with Nuttall... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev1970 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 We need to move on now find another striker to accompany Norwood up front similar to stones to do the leg work.He obviously did not want to come to Oldham or it would have happened even on loan.

PlayItLivo Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) Tbh Stones would have simply been a nice to have. Norwood, Garner, Fondop and Reid is a capable strike force with enough goals between them. It’s up to the midfield and wide players to provide the service. That’s where the biggest improvement needed to be made. We’ve got the players to put the ball in the back of the net. It’s the phases of play before that we were lacking in.

Which clearly you have. He is in charge of signings. That means he has chosen not to prioritise a striker. Fine. Hopefully our options are enough. . if they’re not; he is responsible and will quite rightly live or die by the decisions he makes. Oh, and by the way - he has said himself we need to take our chances in 3 of the 5 games. So let’s hope Mikey has season like no other. Garner suddenly scores over 15 for the first time in years, and Nors can start scoring straight away after a lengthy lay off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
