Pressley Wants Hat Trick Of Strikers. (1 Viewer)

KersleyDigs · Jul 9, 2014

Thomas' main strength (that goes under most people's radar) is his anticipation, he is at nearly every second ball for 90 minutes....

ccfc_Tom · Jul 10, 2014

first half of season i rated thomas highly, didnt see much of second half but sounds like he went crap? i back him to come good again next season

SlowerThanPlatt · Jul 10, 2014

Goodwillie moved to Aberdeen so won't be him

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Jul 10, 2014

We need to get moving with bringing these strikers in

To be fair he is still very young, and missed the first season after relegation through injury, he may come back stronger this season. Also too early to write off Billy D, he only turned 20 last week, it will be interesting to see how he develops next season too. Not sure he's a central midfielder, but did well drifting from the right when Baker was out injured.

I have no idea what Daniels' best position is, and how he would fit in to our starting XI.

The City manager said: "We're working exceptionally hard to find the right players in bring in. Again, it requires patience as we don't want to rush into any signings.

"We're looking to acquire a left-back, a central midfielder and three strikers, and it's vitally important that we get it right.

"I'm really delighted with the signings we've made so far and I think the fans have been excited by the acquisitions.

"Although we're taking our time, we know the main thing is that the players we bring in have to be right for this football club."

He added: "We had a terrific combination last season with Leon Clarke and Callum Wilson and I think we will be looking for a similar type of partnership next season.

"We're looking for that important link player who connects midfield to attack whilst also having that pace and power which Wilson gave us last season.

"We pass and play but one of the most important things in the system is the speed. Speed gives us a number of options where we can play over the top and on the ground.

"That combination is what we're looking for and we're hopeful we'll be able to find the right recruits to fulfill it."

I have just watched the Interview on SBP, I would say having listened to Pressley and looking at his body language, that we are nowhere near singing a striker.

They can sign me if that helps, although I am 53.

Won't be Sam Winnall...just joined Barnsley from Scunthorpe.

39 goals in 42 games, cracking signing for them

SlowerThanPlatt · Jul 23, 2014

Looks like Barnsley are putting together a good side in hope of bouncing straight back up. James Bailey and Winnall in the last 2 days.

Those stats are false on wiki, he scored 23 goals in 43 starts and 2 subs. I know quite a few Scunthorpe fans seem to think he will be a one season wonder and aren't devastated to see him leave.

Yes Barnsley will be half decent sure but nothing special. Bailey is a run of the mill midfielder and winnall has just cut it at league 2.

Ah fair enough then, them stats did seem a little too good

Any trialists playing today against Chievo?

21 man, all usual suspects including Marcus Tudgay as only triallist. Baker and Coulibaly didn't go because they're injured

Tweet from Andy Turner last night

Nope but Tudgay and Johnson miss out

skybluebeduff · Jul 23, 2014

Would of thought Andy Johnson would of got a run out..

LOL!! unless we have a new fitness coach doing the warm ups with the players named Andy Johnson

Gint11 · Jul 23, 2014

Bakers going IMO, we need 2 more strikers, a fully fit Tudgay would be good.

SlowerThanPlatt · Jul 25, 2014

So far the Sky Blues only have one senior centre-forward in summer signing from Sheffield United Shaun Miller, while youngsters George Thomas and James Maddison have stepped up.
The experienced head of Marcus Tudgay continues his trial period with the club and he would certainly tick the ‘link man’ box if he is offered a contract and can agree terms.

But Pressley would still like to recruit two more. Bournemouth’s Josh McQuoid is waiting to see if he figures in Eddie Howe’s plans this season – a situation that could take another week or two to resolve – and Pressley revealed he’s also tracking another frontman.

“I have had a few names put to me, one in particular who is of interest but I don’t think he’ll trial with us,” said the City boss.
“He’s still contracted to a club and there’s a possibility that he could get out for free but a trial is not an option.
“So there are no plans for anybody to join us yet but that’s not to say that something doesn’t change. But, to be honest, there’s no plan to bring anyone in at the moment.”

He added: “We have spoken a lot about it and we are doing work on recruiting both midfielders and strikers just now, but there’s nothing to report as yet.
“We have a number of targets but we don’t plan to have anyone in on trial in Italy.”
Pressley has dismissed internet rumours suggesting former Crystal Palace, Everton, Fulham and currently out-of-contract QPR striker Andy Johnson is on his radar.

Apparently Stephen Dobbie is signing for Fleetwood, really good signing for them.

wow.....

SlowerThanPlatt · Jul 25, 2014

I'd like to see us in for Dobbie but he's more of a player behind the main forward than an actual striker.

Jake Cassidy signs for notts county. Got away this one I can't help but feel. Only 6 month loan as well. Why couldn't we do that.

Didn't score for Wolves last season and was farmed out to Tranmere where he got 1 in 19 games...
