    Henderson obviously went for the money only Salford can pay. And if you read the T&A at the time Stuart decided himself against Maynard who stayed with Mansfield

    Problem is, that if this lad from Palace comes on a trial, it's going to be another two weeks until he's signed up. I really would have hoped that if the rumours were true, he's already on his way up to play in some, ahem, closed doors games and ready to sign on the dotted line asap.

    Quite the oxymoron there! I would much rather wait and get someone Stuart actually wants. Rather than placate the fans by bringing in Nicky Maynard (Vaughan 2.0).

    I think the problem here is a lack of trust which is wholly understandable but Edin has gone. I trust Stuart, theres no-one up top to tell him what to do. if he says that it is fine I believe him. I don't think he would have come back if Edin was still here! if anyone does you are really selling Stuart short.

    the T@A stated we missed out on one of the strikers due to financial reasons. this is pure conjecture, but id guess its Hiwula wanting championship wages. if he lowers his price we might get him.

    EDIT: Nevermind, just saw this on twitter.

    Also interesting, because in the past it's always been the lure of playing in front of circa 12k fans which has been the deciding factor in signing or not. Obviously for now, this is not the case. As mentioned earlier, will a 17 year old Londoner really want to up roots and move up North to play in a stadium with as many people he has watching him at Palace's training ground? All depends on his ambition I suppose. Did anyone hear Gary Neville last night being quite vocal about Abraham and the fact that he needs to kick on and get his arse into gear and desire to play first team football? Players just can't expect to be picked, they need to show intent and do anything they can to get into a starting eleven - and that means making a move if they have to.

    Perhaps we should look at getting McCarten back - he won't be scared playing during these CV empty stand games :)

    Guthrie has a division two record of one goal every other game and Novak’s record suggest he will be in double figures as well

    The situation was simple. He signed a 3 year deal. After a few months he wanted to move closer to home. We got stung.

    No we dont want that again do we?

    So, when Stuart said City weren't diving in and was relaxed with the status quo he was stretching the fabric of truth.
    We were just failing to get players in.

    Unrelated but Tranmere have just signed kaiyne woolery(not prolific/dont want him) from Swindon as he would not sign a reduced deal with them.
    Tranmere have the likes of Vaughan,Spearing,Ollie Banks,Otis Khan- but they can afford to do their business .
    Dont get great crowds but must be backed somehow.

    At least we're being linked with a couple of strikers. I haven't heard a peep about a RB (despite French and DMH playing ok at wing-back, we are still short if we want to play a back 4) and arguably we need a centre mid as we only have 3 (Watt, Cooke & Sutton) on the books (classing Scales as a no.10 like Clarke and Shanks as a wide/attacking player like Pritchard).

    29 goals in 117 appearances is a goal every other game is it?

    That’s your take on it? He didn’t realise where Bradford was when he signed? He became homesick? Not a case of him seeing what a shambles we are as a club?

    Roger absolutely nailed it with his summary.

    Yep, looks more like 1 in 3 in LG2 (us, Stevenage & Colchester) if you take starts, or 1 in 3.5 if you include subs, and his overall record is rubbish:

    Mate, if I would be writing that I would be getting a warning and not allowed to post in the thread.

    Last week Park was saying we need a forward. Now he is saying we can take on the world with Novak and Guthrie...Utter nonsense.

    Still a bit of a mess as we were only looking at these and shows lack of scouting. As others have said we should have been planning for Vaughan since Stuart came in.
    Maybe Agard or Jordi will change their minds and that’s what Stuart Is waiting on?
    Or maybe there’s very little plan and the communications director and manager will continue to mislead the fans?
