    Plus they are second in the league. They wouldn't want to sell anyone that could destabilise their promotion chances

    This is the negative side of having a large squad. Not everyone can play, constant rotation is the only way to keep a happy camp. However, in my view you can only do that successfully if every single player is top notch.

    I know who it is. But until anything’s confirmed by the club, not confirming owt. Player meeting GA today.

    5 goals in 9 starts for Wigan, with 14 sub appearances, isn’t it? A goal every 164 minutes.

    he was injured at Wrexham and they had Championship forwards on Championship wages so I wouldnt take last season’s numbers at face value, competing with good players for game time. Cracking rib and puncturing lung was hardly an ideal prep, esp when you are in a squad with about six strikers and then trying to get up to speed in a squad progressing at the rate of knots.

    Obviously no chance of getting him but what a player he is - exactly the sort of player we’ve been after for a while

    The FA Cup highlights of York vs Barnsley are a good way of seeing the levels he could rise to

    Should have snapped him up as soon as Cook got injured last season, a massive opportunity missed.

    Still, at least we’re making up for it with a signing like Mullin…

    We're league one and we're not scoring 5 every week in the divisions before after spending 8 times the budget on players as everyone else.

    His record at this level is very poor so why would it inspire confidence?

    Fingers crossed I'm wrong because if not the season will just peter out but he'll need to perform at a level he's previously been unable to reach so for me, it's very unlikely.

    So the poster came back at me with another photo of Stones asking if I'm sure, to which it looked a clear AI image, back of the shirt didn't match with the official shirt. On his Instagram account, Max Power follows him (played together at Wigan) Pointon does (probably youth team connection). However now I've been informed by someone on X that Tilt has just started following him and wasn't following him before. So I've no idea with this one now...

    You might not be naming him but you are making it obvious who it is

    I've posted similar but he'll still be our best striker I'd suggest. Hopefully it's good enough.

    I've nowt against Mullin, he'll be better than Humphrys so that's a positive. Hope that will see Humps given a run in his more suited position.

    Signing Mullin won't excite me, but I'd take him over Humphrys in a heartbeat. His stats this season blow Humps out of the water.

    It would be an underwhelming signing, but having a CF who can actually finish would be a big improvement.

    Can't see us paying the sort of money York would be asking, they are under no pressure to sell either what with having wealthy benefactors.

    The only way is if the players had his head turned and asks to join.. then they would probably let him rather than him down tools

    Could be, can't see though due to the transfer fee that would be needed
