I would suggest loaning out Ponti and loaning in a bruiser of a centre forward.
Ermmmm... not exactly .. thinking of someone aged 28-32 with Championship experience.You mean like Nathan Clarke or Ramage or Ricketts?
Those verticle stripes are extremely slimming aren't they!!
Yep and they've all come to the game straight from fat club.
The first rule of fat club is you don't talk about fat club!Yep and they've all come to the game straight from fat club.
Sorry. My bad.The first rule of fat club is you don't talk about fat club!
Surely he's just biding his time to see what he gets from any Maddison deal first? It's only 20th June after all.Although pleased with the new signings that have reinforced defence and midfield, we are still over-reliant on one man, McNulty, up front. We need 4 for up front in the squad - two target men, and two strikers. We have respectively, Max and JCH as target men and Sparky and Ponti a strikers. Looking at them one by one -
I love Biamou but there have to be a question mark about him at Div 1 level
JCH was the great hope when he arrived but tailed off - and that was in Div 2. I am disappointed we have signed him to be frank
McNulty - top man
Ponticelli - unproven at Div 2 let alone the higher division. Looks a bit slow to me.
So, is there money in the kitty for another striker?
Don't we need someone in the JCH mold only better?

Especially if Ponticelli isn't ready.If there are any options out there that are better than what we’ve got, the. We should sign them. For me, JCH and McNulty are probably our best two options at this point, McNulty for obvious reason and JCH because his good form in his last full season in L1 (9 in 42ish for Oldham). Some good glimpses from both Ponticelli and Biamou suggest they can play a role in L1, but if we’re really serious about challenging for L1 promotion, we’d probably need a more proven option upfront — applies equally to JCH in fairness.
I like the Allassani signing, another option upfront, but judging from the Dulwich manager’s remarks, he’s more of a winger or behind the striker option, and playing striker last season suited their 5-3-2 system.
If our goal is to consolidate, I’m satisfied with our options. However, if the goal is truly promotion, we need to strengthen significantly.
Yup. Lan Dingstrippo.Thin up front? Have we signed a Brazilian?
Leon Clarke
You wax lyricist !!Yup. Lan Dingstrippo.
I'm not sure we NEED one. Think what we have is good to be honest.
There's every chance we are planning on Andreu at 10 next season

We only managed about 2 games with our best number 19 thoughWhich would mean 1 striker as we did in the early part of last season which proved s failure
Exactly. With those three, and also that Allesani bloke im feeling very confident about our attacking midfield and then McNulty to do what he does bestSurely he's just biding his time to see what he gets from any Maddison deal first? It's only 20th June after all.
JCH had hardly played, he will look much better having had some games under his belt for us now and a full pre season.
Biamou has scored twice against L1 opposition in the 2 games he's played.
What formation are you expecting to play? If we're playing 4-2-3-1, I wouldn't be that worried about our strikers. What upgrade on that set of strikers would come here knowing McNulty will be the first choice anyway?
Plenty of goals in Bayliss, Andreu and Jones from midfield too.
