If you could make 1 more REALISTIC signing before the start of the season who would it be and why?

Jennings- Still think we need another centre midfielder. I still think we need a wide player with pace though

I'd say Jennings too, but I think we'll sign 2, maybe 3, more before the season starts.

If you don't include Jennings (already in the bag IMO, just injured ATM) another striker. Not Heskey, as that is a very silly rumour.

I would like to see Jennings, a decent goal scoring striker at this level (Stuart Beavon), another midfielder for back up/pushing for 1st team to keep the competitiveness up.

Jennings will hopefully sign. Add barnard from southampton or trotta on loan.

I think somebody with a bit of pace about them to excite us. At the minute nobody in the squad so far really gets you sitting forward when they get the ball like an Ndlovu!

Has anybody got the link to the free player list?

Lee Barnard from Southampton - proven scorer at lge 1 level, good age (28 i believe) and possible point to prove as he has been overlooked for the past season at southampton.

A striker who scores goals and also can play as a creative midfielder. As we need both, Norwoods replacement and cody's competition, partner or back up.

i think our priority should be another CM with the attributes jennings supposidely has and another striker with some pace, if he has a good goal record then that's great too. If there's any room for another player after signing those 2 players, get a pacy winger to excite us and scare opponents.

nimley

i assume he enjoyed his time here and whilst he wasnt prolific he would be excellent in div 3. i think he would bring some much needed pace to the team and is very direct. defenders in our league wont enjoy facing him

A season in League One has to be better than playing Kendal ?

If he's that good I'm sure one of the top 4-6 teams will snap him up.

don't see why everyone's making such a fuss about Jennings, if he does sign he may turn out to be a gem, however hardly lit the SPL a light or League 1 when with Tranmere. Motherwell only offered him a one year extension last year, therefore showing little faith (unless other reasons). Plus when we had a hard worker (Doyle) most of the fans were slagging him off saying he cant pass/ not creative. Now he's gone everyone wants a player like that again until potentially when the day comes and he also isn't creative enough or a ball player. Not saying he is that sort of player, but I haven'y heard anything else other than he's a hard worker. If i was to have one last signing, i'd want a pacey forward or winger, perhaps a player like Jermaine McGlashan from Cheltenham, still a bit raw but a lot of pace and may become a good little player who plays RW/ST. OR Byron Moore- Crewe winger looked good in the few games i've seen.

pretty sure astute doesnt want to say it again, but this maybe too tempting for him :thinking about:

He only signed a 1 year contract as it was his decision. They wanted him to sign a 3 year one for this season. Rangers were also interested. He wants to come back to England. Lots of mates on Merseyside and Manchester including Rooney.

Stuart Bevon for me if he can score so many goals for a relegated team you can not go wrong {might be a fee so doubt if we will sign him }

My lad knows a mate of his in Glasgow. Spoke to him after it was announced we were after him. When I mentioned it on here at the time someone mentioned it was Rooneys dad he got arrested with on the alledged betting scam on a player getting sent off when Jennings got 2 yellow cards

Any more questions?

Or even any of the teams in the championship. Which is what I think will happen.
