There's tippy tappy that Maguire, Stones, and Phillips play for England, and there's tippy tappy that Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, and Busquets played for Barca.

If certain posters on this board were manager we’d have Denton up top still.

Who’s that then?

Grigg , injury prone and when fit is hit and miss on mk Dons site,I think jephcott could be better option,I mean grigg just to be on fire,but is he now smouldering?

[stainlessstephen]

I'd prefer Jephcott to Grigg myself if I had to choose, younger player. Grigg probably now past his best and looking for one final payday.

We cannot afford to take expensive risks, been there too many times before.

Interestingly, neither are rate big lads like McCallum and Quigley. Both are slightly under Doyle height according to Wiki.

Most of our chances are from King/Mandy

Colclough/ LB

Getting to the byline and sliding balls across, we need movement and awareness, not a big lad

I’ve still got sick in my mouth from McCallum missing at Wrexham

[warfey is a spireite]

Can I suggest mouthwash lol?👍

[SpireRam]

As it stands with the addition of Naylor then...

Chadwick?

King Palmer Grimes Clements

Naylor DJ

Mandeville Dobra Colclough

Quigley


Subs: Maguire, Jones, Banks, Sheckleford, Asante


Granted we certainly need more but even without the other additions it doesn't look half bad.

Very much doubt Chadwick will be first choice goalkeeper

If I was Asante I'd be practicing until I threw up to make sure I'd be ready for the new season.

I'm not sure about Grigg either but also fairly sure we cant plonk the injury prone tag on him! Since really starting to play on a regular basis in the 2010/2011 season he's made plenty of appearances each season. He's twice gone over 50 games in a season, 4 times made over 40 and only twice been under 30 and even those were high 20s. The lower numbers coincide with his spell at Sunderland when after his big money move it went a bit pear shaped and he fell out of favour before going out on loan a few times. I'm not sure he's ever had spells out injured for long periods on a continual basis.

22/23 - 43
21/22 - 29
20/21 - 32
19/20 - 27
18/19 - 43
17/18 - 53
16/17 - 38
15/16 - 44
14/15 - 52
13/14 - 39
12/13 - 46
11/12 - 34
10/11 - 30

Akwasi has never played more than 26 or so games in one season. He won’t be fully fit and play 40 odd at the age of 30 after such serious injuries.

Our squad is 90% there but the spine still needs work. A GK and a CF should do the trick. We can’t blow the budget as we still have the likes of Rowe, Asante, Whelan and dare I say it Quigley who we could do with moving on. If we do move Quigley on as well as the other 3 we will need 2CFs you’d think.

No you'd like to think not but as it stands he's all we've got.

[tomjoad]

Do you really believe we wont sign a keeper? All be on loan?

To me from what I have seen of him he is nowhere near 1st choice keeper but good luck to the lad.

It's starting to look like a strong side, once the keeper/s and striker are sorted we've got 2 solid players for just about every position.

?

Sheckleford Williams Maguire Horton

Jones Banks

Jez Hobson ?

Asante

Then the likes of Rowe, Whelan, Gyasi...
