I find it amusing when people seemingly think we're not after a striker simply because we've signed players in other positions. As has been said, GP signed pretty late on, Grant (not a striker obviously but player of the season in L2) was also a late signing. Business can and will be done later in the window.
This has been doing my nut in for a week now, I’m fairly certain the management team know we could do with a striker for 2. Thankfully they are waiting for the right one as opposed to any donkey available |

Exactly that plus nearly every other lower league team will be looking for the same |

I think this is a case of Garner attempting to maybe 'force a players hand. We will have made an offer/s but we are probably seeing a case of forwards sounding out all offers and options, with them knowing that teams who get off to a slow start will panic and make a better offer. Its risky for the player, but if the basic offered by us is only 1.3k then unless as stated we are offering significant additional add on's - we are probably not that attractive a proposition. I can only see us landing a journeyman or player who has perhaps another season left in the tank. I wonder what Paul Benson is up to lately  |

1 Ben Gladwin, Louis Reed, and Johnny Williams found us attractive enough. |

I agree but I think forwards are different, stocks is a bit higher. Any forward coming to us should be licking lips at the service we should be able to provide into the box. I do think forwards are a different breed altogether. Did Nicky Ajose surface anywhere? |

Can we still sign loan players after the window shuts for a few weeks? Is it a different deadline or is that no longer a thing?

Louis Reed promotion winner season before with Posh and J Williams fresh out the championship and Wales EURO squad, whether it be a coach, goalkeeper or striker, we are clearly an attractive proposition. |

Clearly because we have a way to pay these players handsomely and because they also buy into the ambitions of the club. We have been told maintaining L2 status is the objective but I cannot imagine the caliber of some of these players are doing such for charity. |

Agree, no chance players are being told this is a survival season. Once the number 9 target comes in this team will be one of the strongest in the league on paper. |
