    I wonder if the number 9 shirt has to be left unallocated as Doyle was officially assigned that number, and technically he is still our player?

    I was thinking the same. There scattergun approach though often picks up a 3m player. They did have Evans in charge who loves buying a player

    How many midfielders have we got? Need to be in the loan market for a striker now.

    the real question is, how many midfielders are good enough to seal us the title?

    If we don’t completely bypass the midfield like we have recently with the players we have now there is no reason we can’t be top 3 (and dare I say it champions?!). Need another striker to back up the Don and Vaughan for injury.

    We need at least one who can tackle. I'm hoping Akpan moves on and we can bring one in. Add a left winger and striker and we'll be tip top. I dont think we'll get all that though.

    This obsession with Akpan is painful.

    Akpan, Anderson, Devine, McCartan, Patrick, Gibson, Antony O Connor.

    If any of the above left over the next 2 weeks I wouldn't lose any sleep.

    However, O'Connor will no doubt stay due to lack of interest, as will Devine & Anderson due to them signing new contracts.

    In truth we need upgrades on all the names I have mentioned and within a week you could make an argument Devine, Anderson, Akpan and McCartan have been pushed backwards.

    As much as I want another forward, I do believe we need to ship a few out also.

    Same. And I never ever thought I'd be saying that.

    AOC has done well so far but we've POC and other defenders.

    Think he would leave if another club comes calling bit like with Doyle I wouldn't have a problem with him going but this time we have replacements already.

    We need 4 centre halves in the squad, which we have. 3 of which are good for this league, providing competion and cover, and we French who needs to be nurtured for now, but be ready to cover injuries and suspension. Allow O'Connor to leave and we would need another to replace him

    Look, 3 would be fine and Mellor could cover there for a period.

    If AOC stays then fine but as I say I wouldn't lose any sleep if he left.

    As of Monday there hadn't been 1 bit of interest in Akpan from what id been told, nor O'Connor. Can't help but think there's no more outgoings on the cards.

    Not surprised with Akpan. Hes garbage, very well paid, unfit and looks to have lost any sort of hunger to play the game. Shame he hasnt lost his hunger for Gregg's.

    Wasn’t it you saying a few weeks ago French was a ‘project’ and shouldn’t be considered first team and that we still needed a 5th CB? Yet we now only need 3 and AOC can go despite being very good in the best defence in the league so far and this wouldn’t weaken us?

    For me we now have too many midfielders at the club. I don’t see what Gibson’s role is now that we just signed Cooke and Devitt. Could go for me.
    Anderson/Devine - don’t see the need for both but think we should keep 1. For me I’d keep Devine as he’s our local player and is more versatile.
    Ideally ship out akpan and bring a better CM in
    Still need a backup striker and I think McCartan still has a role to play.

    Right you need know I am saying this through gritted teeth apart from when I am drinking my 1/2 of Landlord;) AOC has been excellent but I really don’t like him and if we go through a sticky patch you can’t really rely on him. For me he is on a short piece of string.
