I believe @The Philosopher may have some inside knowledge on this - apparently it’s already a done deal, I can only assume they’re waiting until they can print enough HUDLIN 9 shirts at the club shop to meet demand before they announce.
It was apparently a done deal a month ago and he hasn’t been training with Solihull. I wonder if his pesky agent has left him in limbo?
The fact that we have those four strikers is an embarrassment of riches to be honest.Tbh I've no real problem with having Vik, Godden, Walker and Waghorn as the 4,
Yes it's actually fine tbh, it's just becoming increasingly clear that some big earners need to move so we can do business and Walker/Waghorn are contributing less than other top earners. Wouldn't be against Kelly moving on too, I hear he's on a surprisingly big contract.The fact that we have those four strikers is an embarrassment of riches to be honest.
Wouldve bit your hand off for a front four like that probably any time in the last ten years
People (not you, I know you’re is about wages) have short memories
I still think Walker will come good. I’d say he’s as good a finisher as GoddenYes it's actually fine tbh, it's just becoming increasingly clear that some big earners need to move so we can do business and Walker/Waghorn are contributing less than other top earners.

I do get the point that if we're not going to use him as first choice, though, he's using up budget inefficiently.I still think Walker will come good. I’d say he’s as good a finisher as Godden
Pretty much yes, for his pay he needs to be a starter really. Agree with the above, he's a good finisher and I have no problem if he stays though. Would rather move on Waghorn out of the 2.I do get the point that if we're not going to use him as first choice, though, he's using up budget inefficiently.
I think the clearing of the decks needs to be Waghorn and Walker and perhaps Kane to make significant changes to the squad
Sounds like walker is working his way back in from Robins comments last couple days? Fingers crossed for the lad

The longer it goes on the more it looks like another bluff by his agent. Probably trying to get a better deal there or at another non league club
Working his way back in, or, no other option because we cannot move him on? Could say the same for Waghorn and Kane.
I disagree - I think last year’s Championship playoff finalists would be crazy not to try and sign Solihull’s third-choice striker.
Nothing like a glass half empty kind of post. Allen was in the exact same situation last year.
Allen stayed, worked hard, and has become an average squad player on probably a fairly modest salary. Walker was meant to be one of our best strikers who was signed for a handsome fee (for us) and has bumbled around before going on loan and failing massively there at a lower level.
I am not saying he cannot turn it around, and I know you love Walker, but the two players aren't really comparable the way you think you are.
On the striker ? NoAny new intel @Skybluebeliever or @better days ?
Anyone leaving?On the striker ? No
Would expect 2 new players in next week
Thank youOn the striker ? No

She probably got lots of practice then. Don't know anything about her or the person who was in post before her, if indeed anyone left. We have tended to improve our backroom staff in recent times apart from the youth team guy we lost to Wigan.Chesterfield's injury record last season was appalling so I wouldn't hold your breath.
Yes still would expect some to leave but making sure we have players coming in firstAnyone leaving?

Why do people keep going on about him being hooked after two goals? Gyokeres and Godden were scoring more and playing far better at the time. Do you really think any rational manager would have kept Walker in the team in place of those two. If his confidence is so fragile that he fails to perform for almost a whole season because of that it is more concerning.Walker out of all the squad looks most like a confidence player. As last season continued he just looked devoid of it. All those late cameos, getting hooked after scoring twice on the bounce etc.
Both parties have a huge interest in turning round his fortunes and perhaps should both change their approaches to each other
So a worse slightly taller BakayokoI really don't get the talk of a championship club signing Hudlin from the Moors. I saw them about 5 times last season and although he is tall he is not so good in the air. He is good with both of his feet and because he is working with good coachesd he is improving but championship? He is a very nice young man and works hard but he is where he is because he is that level. Love to be proved wrong.
There are a lot of good players are semi-professional level and I spend a lot of time between Solihull Moors and Banbury United (Andy Whing's team) and the level is excellent. Banbury just signed that 'loads of money kid'.

In terms of a LWB - Leif Davis has been told he can leave Leeds.
Was POTM in his first month having signed on Loan for Bournemouth last year and then sustained an injury
It’s quite sad really, people have latched onto him particularly this agent to sell the “Britain’s tallest footballer” line. I doubt they care how good at football he isI really don't get the talk of a championship club signing Hudlin from the Moors.
