I still want a proven league 1 striker. Look at Norwich and Southampton they had Holt and Lambert! and we need a centre midfielder

i dont think holt and lambert were proven at the time i think cody could be like them maybe not as good but like them at this level.
one season that's what im saying both of them weren't known before that. They took a gamble and it payed off a lot of other club have not been lucky enough to do that. and we dont have the money to guess like them.Lambert scored 29 league one goals for Bristol rovers the season before signing for Southampton. Holt scored 20 in league two before signing for Norwich.
Both signed for their clubs on the back of a good season.

Absolutely not, We have lost about 8/9 players and signed 5.
Our squad ran out of legs and steam last season. We have signed 5 kids up as professionals to make up the difference.
The kids are a complete lottery, but one thing is for sure it is not fair on them to expect them to be consistent for an entire season.
I think we have made sufficient signings to stay up now.
4 of our signings are either going to be average or really really good. I hope the latter.
If they play to what their potential suggests then we have an outside chance of sixth place. This would involve a lot of luck. i.e. people such as Cody been fit for 95% of the season, along with most of the senior pro's.
However I feel if we sign 2 more strikers and a creative midfielder then anything less than the play off would be a let down.
Not really both had been scoring goals in league one and two over a 3 or 4 seasons - a bit like ALF. Not like us signing Cody on the back of one season.

4/5 of the players that left played no more than a few mins each last season
Sorry buddy, but out of the 8 I am talking about only Freddie played only a few minutes. I include the loanees as they were significant for the second part of the season.
I have included Freddie as he should have made a significant contribution
Keogh
Cranie
Platt
Bigi
Freddie
Clingan
Norwood
Nimely
southampton only signed lambert after one good season at bristol rovers the season before he only scored 14 goals in 42 games in the league.
Norwich only signed holt after one good season at shrewsbury he only scored 3 goals for forest in 22 apps for them.
The current squad is no where near good enough to get promotion. However I will say that at the moment it has stopped the rot. A few more signings and maybe mid table.
Just being honest CCFC Germany.
To suggest that players were shite and not missed masks the fact that AT was 3 players down on top of all the other exits from last summers clearout It does not therefore mean that we should'nt replace them .Over two summers and during the season we have shipped 18 players .During that period we have signed currently 9,with a net introduction of 8 youth.Two more additions would leave a reliance on only 4 youth players to make a squad of around 28 .That is adequate and would back up TF's commitment to redress the balance ,so expect two more signings .

Thorn did say he hoped when he was back from scotland that we would have a couple of strikers in.
Ball is in....
So who is the other one? Must be the franchise signing surely?
