  DANNY Wilson will decide on the fate of triallist Cherno Samba over the weekend, as Town’s pre-season tour comes to a close.

I don't think we'll sign him unless its on a short term deal a la Razak last season.

We really need to sign a couple of strikers soon though, we are now getting to Pre-season territory and it would be good to get them in this week so we aren't scrabbling around with desperation signings as we run out of time.

Perhaps the forum member who went out to Austria can comment on Cherno's performances for us :)

Jon Stevenson.

Bye bye Samba

Think we will sign him as cover...

Its time like now I wonder why we released Corr, Sturrock, Joyce and Razak.

I'd probably perfer most of those upfront to Samba or Peacock.

I agree Dv. This is where i reckon wilson has put all his eggs in 1 basket and not expected to be turned down like he has. On a seperate note i would try for that Bauza at Swansea

He looked decent in that reserve game we watched. Of course Razak scored a hat trick in that game.

I know Corr was a fitness issuse but right now I wish we'd kept Corr and Razak maybe even Sturrock to!!!!

Our forward like is obviously looking weaker but none of the strikers (striker?!) we are looking at is the ideal partner for Paynter.

Maybe 1 upfront it is then.

Obviously Id like to see Samba for myself before I slag him off. But I cant see the bloke starting.

Weve set fantastic high standards with all the other players we have bought in. We said we wanted a small squad?

Worst comes to it we will have to get into the loan market. We dont need more squad fillers, even strikers.

Obviously wish we had kept Big Bazz as well.  :(

 I do get the feeling that Wilson may expect to see Paynter step up and be more prolific, maybe play with one up and 2 wide.

 Paynter is now of teh rightsort of age and experience to kick on and become a 20 goal man.

Yep i would agree with that Reg.

Think Joyce will score for fun for Torquay...its bvious DW wants speed in the striker he plays up with Paynter....they dont come cheap but feel Fitton may have to dig deep and go for someone pricey.

That's a rarity  :)

Haha i should of put it in bold.

Young strikers like him may well have to drop down to find their feet and establish themselves. Then they can start to move back up the league again. We had to let the boy go. Any player who is (rightly) subbed 20 minutes after his first start will probably not recover at that club.

So many young English players now go from being on the books of Premier League clubs to the scrapheap.

Agree that this is the time to start thinking about paying a fee for a striker.

So would I, but the question is can he take the step up mentally as much as anything else from being a foil to someone else, to being a main striker?

He needs competition that was proved when we bought Razak in.

Surley they'll keep him around until they've got some guarenteed players coming in? It's a busy week so another run-out or two could go his way.

It would make sense to do that Rich but if he hasn't impressed in 2 wks they may not see the point

True. I imagine they'll have people lined up even if it's only trialists.

Swansea want to cut the size of their squad,so maybe there are strikers now available?

Reports today that Saints are having talks with Lita.

How are they going to afford his wages?!

The Chap who just bought them is absolutely minted, no?

There will be loads of speculation about Saints and new players.Lita was on loan to Charlton
when Pardew was in charge,whether he'll want League 1 football,will probably depend on the
offers he's already had.

Ah, so is he planning to start chucking money at them to get back to the Championship now then? (Sorry, I've been away so am a bit behind!)

Plenty of time to find better,if we sign him its just making up the numbers and I thought we wern't supposed to be doing that anymore.

Although I dont know him from Adam so what I just said is bollocks really. 8)

That would be good if Lita were to go to Southampton. It would mean we definately cant sign the tosser.
