Strikers 18:20 - Jun 22 with 2137 views | Stu_boy | I know nothing about the young arsenal lad but having signed him and ladapo in addition to jackson and pigott is that it now for our strikeforce unless we move pigott on? | | | | |
Strikers on 18:22 - Jun 22 with 2106 views | RobTheMonk | I think so. Chaplin can play up top too if needed. Attacking midfield next on the list. | | | |

Do we need another AM ? Chaplin, Aluko, looks like Jules can play there and Humphreys. | |

Strikers on 18:27 - Jun 22 with 2028 views | J2BLUE | Not convinced this guy has been signed as a main striker. Was mentioned that he is versatile and seems to have the attributes to play in several positions. One more big striker signing with Pigott possibly leaving is my guess. Could see something like us getting Hirst and then Pigott going to Portsmouth but that is pure speculation on my part. | |

I think we'll still be after one. | | | |

I would like that senario. | | | |

I trust mckenna to spot a good player and help improve them, just hope this all works out well. | | | |
Strikers on 18:31 - Jun 22 with 1961 views | Sweetman | Ladapo John-Jules Jackson Pigott ? Currently the four going into the fold for next season unless Pigott moves on. To be honest, a bit underwhelming, but if there's any manager who can turn decent players into quality players, it will be McKenna. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Agree. Think we will end up with 3 and half players for the striker and AM slots, with Tyreece being the half. So a striker and AM to go. | | | |

I would expect Jules to be fourth striker behind. a new number 9, Ladapo and Jackson. | | | |

I think he'd be very disappointed to be behind Pigott. | |

The good thing is that we have done a lot of business early, so McK will have the whole close season to mould the team, and weed out those that don't fit. | | | |

I feel Ladapo is a massive upgrade on Bonne in this system and John-Jules is as as good as Norwood, better in this system and has a considerable ceiling. I’d still expect a striker and central midfielder that command fees as marquee signings however and I’d say we are good. | | | |
Strikers on 20:02 - Jun 22 with 1257 views | TomTheWriter | Do feel like this needs to be put out there. The most expensive signing of the summer so far in League One is Posh picking up a kid from Leyton Orient for £300,000. Everything in the English football system boils down to the progress made by Premier League sides. When they start bringing in the big guns, then it will all filter down. I think it is very, very likely that our 'marquee' signing for this season - whether that be a top draw striker or dangerous attacking midfielder/winger will not happen until about 2 weeks - maybe even 1 week - before the season starts. Everything is free agents and loans, with the odd undisclosed fee here and there. Our three 'biggest' signings last season happened on deadline day eve and deadline day. McKenna has the bulk of his squad ready for pre-season. Maybe he thinks Penney is enough at LWB to play back up. Maybe he think Harper is good enough to stay and challenge. Maybe he think Edwards is good enough to step up to the plate and take Celina's spot. With Pigott still in the door, no way are we going out and signing a 5th striker. We all need to take a beat, relax and enjoy the summer. Considering McKenna turned Jackson from an outcast to a terrifying No.9 in about 20 days makes me excited the see what he can do with the likes of Edwards, Harper, Ndaba, John-Jules etc | |

Not sure how you think Jules is as good as Norwood, Jules has a total of 6 career goals Norwood has 168. Maybe he will prove he is better, but for now on paper he is a down grade. I also cannot see how a ceiling is relevant with a player we don’t even own. | |

I'm thinking we might see another versatile MF player, who can get up and down the pitch... Not trying to throw our fringe players under the bus, here. But I'd say, the likes of Harper and El Miz will need spectacular pre seasons, to force themselves in.. Most likely both get loaned out, imo.... Aluko wont do 40 plus games.. Humphrey ? Not sure he'll be considered a first choice AM, but could be a really good , breakthrough season for him... Would like to see a quality CAM addition.. But going by KM's picks , so far. could be that we get someone in, who's capable of multi positions throughout MF..... We look pretty strong, imo. First 14-15 players.. But you know what its like.. Couple of injuries and a suspension, and a decent squad can start to look thin... I'm intrigued to know, what Edwards rolewill be, too. Possibly converted to the Celina role? As well as cover at RWB/LWB? He's got some talent, if the management can work out his most effective role, imo.. | | | |
