Just seen that Liam Gordon has been released by Bolton. I know he wound up the kop when he played here for Dagenham but he played well and left Carline with twisted blood.
Seen that Tyreece Simpson has told Ipswich that he wants to leave but a quick search discovered that he's wanted by a host of league clubs.

Oh good god, don't you start aswell, isn't there already 2 or 3 players threads

[s42blue]

Kinda what I thought the opposition players thread was supposed to be 😂😂. Might just use as an aide memoire

[gordon_brittas]

We need a fine mix of recruitment next season. This needs to be from this league and the league above. No more aging crocks on long deals please.

A leader at the back, a fitter and more consistent upgrading on Gunning. Someone of the Blatherwick mould.

Midfielders with pace and an eye for goal. Also someone with vision and creativity.

A pacy frontman to assist Kabby up front.

More strength in depth, not just bodies. Someone capable of coming in and putting pressure on the first 11. Too many not good enoughs and never wills in this squad sadly.

Yet we had the best squad and most feared strike force in the league before January - what happened to those players.

Donal McDermott....heard he's good

The best striker in the league got injured and one of the best central midfielders in the league began suffering frequent episodes of the same recurring injury. Their quality was masking some of the issues we have with the wider squad.

One here from the 1866 Sheffield Road rumour mill.
Mark McNulty.
Currently on loan at Dundee United from parent club Reading.
Out of contract now and wishing to return to this area.

[Exharboroughspireite]

Scott griffiths? He could do a job.

[spireitetoo]

Dean Smalley is without a club I hear

Quality centre half

[LondonBlue]

Matty Kosylo. Armani Little. Cal Roberts. Aaron Nemane. All of those would improve our '3' behind the striker that Cook wants to employ. Cal / Armani probably the pick of the bunch but I think Kosylo and Nemane would still be a big upgrade on Mandeville and Miller.

CM is going to be interesting as we are desperate for a new CM pairing.

A proper Paul Cook signing, doubt we could afford him?

Wasn't he after McNulty the last time Cook was in charge?? or was that WIlson?

I think he tried, He managed to get him to Portsmouth the season after, along with Lavery.
I’ve just had a look at where’s he’s been the last few years, turns out he might not be unrealistic after all.

Reading signed him from Cov if memory serves right but have loaned him out to the SPL. He was pretty prolific for Coventry in League 2 and would no doubt score goals at this level.

Question is - going into the summer we have 3 strikers on the books with a year or more left on their contracts:

Tshimanga - Rowe - Asante

All of these will be on decent money. Given Cook likes to play 1 up top. Is it sensible to push the boat out for McNulty given his likely wage demands? If he does come in, I can see both Rowe and Asante being moved on to free up the funds.

If they'll agree to go.

He played as a ‘10’ at Pompey

Local lad, Max Hunt is out of contract at Yeovil this summer and certainly falls into the bracket of being young enough to improve and add value to.

[Rodney's Moustache]

I'll keep touting him until Cookie gets the message ex Spireite Davis Keillor Dunn and Tom Knowles from Yeovil. I don't really know any in our division apart from the usuals touted... Joe Sbarra, Gucci Little, Michael Cheek, Matty Warburton, Billy waters.
