This guy's name is being banded about on rivals.

Anyone heard anything?

Signing him, alongside Paul Hall would definately give us more goals but what about the strikers we already have?  Should we lose one to let this guy in or just add him to the squad?

This really would put a tin lid on this week wouldn't it? I wouldn't be able to smile wide enough. He made mince-meat of us and plenty of other teams in this league and I would be delighted to have him to say the least.

Still, I'll believe it when I see it! Lets not get carried away, rumours are great fun at this time of year but they are just that! Having said that, a few folk would be tucking in to a very large slice of humble pie if Roy pulled this one off.

I still think we probably need more than 3 players otherwise the squad is going to look very thin indeed- any injuries and we could be in a bit of trouble without the ability to sign loan players as cover.

[SpireiteDan]

Personally i didnt rate Ugarte but his record speaks for himself, and could that international be the chosen one?

[Chris_CFC]

would be an excellent signing. go on baz, you know you want to!

Thats where the 3 newly signed youngsters come in.  Use them as a temporary measure.

We cant afford to build a big squad of quality players. the sums won't add up I'm afraid.

True but I think we can, and need to, sign a few more players- Hudson, McMaster, Evatt, Innes have all gone and, so far, only one player has come into replace them. If we don't sign some defensive cover two injuries at left and centre backs could leave us in serious trouble and we also look thin in midfield even if we sign another central player. Up front is the one place we do seem to have enough in terms of number, if not always quality.

It would seem unwise for us to have to rely on the younger players coming into the team as it usually takes at least a season for them to bed in/find out if they have what it takes. An example is Smith who whilst obviously talented still has a lot to learn and isn't yet someone you can guarantee consistent performances from.

Didnt McMaster come in after Innes had left?  Therefore I would assume we were not paying them both at the same time.  Same goes for Richmond
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Out of the players listed there i expect we are still paying Hudson hes still contracted to us until the end of the month.

Looks like another signing will be anounced on Mon/Tue with another international later.  Thats 3 so far (touch wood).

So will we be happy with 3 quality players or would any of us want 5 not so good quality players?

Personally I will settle for 3 quality players.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I think with Evatts departure most would expect 4 quality players in

[DMU Blue]

look on the cardiff website and it now seems they aint interested as much. who knows

[SpireiteDan]

Well it looks like hes off to cardiff, does chesterfield and cardiff really sound that similar?
