There has been small talk regarding a permanent transfer. Looking at a small fee with a 50% sell on was being discussed. Surely someone with his profile goes for decent money in the current market? Can't see why they would give him away for buttons. And if we are the only team interested in him should we actually be interested in him...?

LightDN123 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 9 hours ago, PlayItLivo said: Please please please don't let us sign a striker who scored 24 goals in the division above last season. Anything but that! Norwood, Garner and Fondop are all capable of scoring goals. But without the service or players around them to complement them, they won’t score the goals they can. Matt Smith needed runners around him when he was with us, 10 years ago. When he came to BP with Salford, he looked even less mobile obviously. Another 3 years on and I doubt he moves about much. We currently have 2 wingers, one of which Jes, I assume is going to be a sub. We have no midfield player that will run beyond him or a striker that will do the running for him. So yeah, the signing of Smith would be a waste given the current strikers we have. If Garner or Fondop was to leave then yes no brainer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With our improved midfield and Kitching and Ogle on the overlap, I would be absolutely made up with Smith, Norwood, Garner & Fondop as the attacking options!

Really ? Fair enough more than entitled to your opinion. One thing defenders in this league absolutely hate is direct runners. I think centre backs in this league would be happy with marking the above for strikers for 90mins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harriers9 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 It was Willoughby we were supposed to have signed according to Phil Brown. Last night at Telford there was a tall black guy with a small beard sat by us with two other guys. He acknowledged the other players sat at the back and they all went into the dressing room at the break and the end of the game. Could that have been Reid?

GlossopLatic Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 (edited) Hypothetical scenario Lets say Reid goes and Norwood goes too and we replace them with Smith and Stones. How would we feel about forward line options of Smith Stones Garner and Fondop? With possibly another midfielder coming in to add some creativity? Would that be enough to close the book on this summers transfer activity? Edited July 26 by GlossopLatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one forever Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I rate Smith- and he’s better than Fondop- but is this going back to the dark days of lob sided squads with too many players playing the same role and not enough balance. If Smith signs- we still need another striker. Baffling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id much Prefer- Nors Stones Smith The fourth could be any from garner/Fondop/another. Them 3 would score 15+ in their own right, the rest are fillers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not arguing whether he’ll score goals or if I rate him. I’m saying a strike force of Nors, Garner, Smith, Fondop, has no pace, to many similarities an isn’t well balanced or complimented. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
