    Wanted more support for Mayenda, but didn’t want him pushed out. Just have to hope he keep developing the way he has been under RLB. Got to have a lot of faith in the manager now, least he has a system and way of playing. Younger players will have to step up now

    Sorry I meant that we’ve signed a striker, who has experience in Isidor, and a backup striker.

    He doesn’t look like a bairn from the little bits I’ve seen of him which I’m taking as a positive, he’ll be raw id imagine but he’ll be third choice anyway so plenty time for him to settle and develop

    Roberts seems to over hit things. He needs confidence and composure. Not sure Poveda is it either. I’d have liked goals from that side. Hopefully Scout is right and they come from everywhere and it’s very possible Isidor will get a few. I thought Mayenda was poor as an attacking force last week though. Worked, closed down and all of that big seemed naive near the goal. I didn’t want an older player btw, I just thought we needed someone with a senior level goalscoring knack.

    The worry is what happens should we not have Mayenda or Mundle? Does Isidor then become left winger and Rusyn bumped to striker? It's just a bit awkward. Similar to defence, I suppose, but I feel we are already acquainted with O9 playing rb.

    Lot of money for a lad that's only played youth leagues, they obviously see something!

    Benette is still here and Watson can provide LW depth if needed too

    I can't even be arsed to look at that list! I'll probably see someone I like and fall in love, only for them to sign for Plymouth just before we play them and they score.

    Having watched clips he’s strong and physical. Obviously it’s just highlights and not against seasoned professionals but it’s promising and he certainly looks like he can press. Look forward to seeing him develop.

    The team in Belgium sees something. They signed him from those sand pitches in Nigeria. The Belgian leagues and even Scandinavian leagues have signed those players for a while, gift orban, boniface etc.

    im excited

    I think Roberts sometimes doesn't hit things as well, like when it opened up against Burnley, I had visions of mayenda when he lashed it home the week before, Roberts always looks for a pass. It's engrained in him.

    No doubt mate. Let's hope he's a fast learner. He could be just brilliant in training, come off the bench one day and score and the rest is history.

    Every good striker was an unknown and "discovered" at sometime in their career aka Kevin Phillips, Jamie Vardy to name just 2 off the top of my head

    Wouldn’t be surprised, this window feels a bit more like the winter league one window bringing some loans but with absolute intention to keep them if all goes to plan.

    It's not just the money imo.

    We have a great team spirit ...

    ... do we really want someone who'll go on strike to get away?

    Perhaps the two clubs agreed terms and he wanted daft wages, or a guaranteed number of games?

    Balls to it, we either trust the club or endlessly second guess everything they do without the facts ...

    ... I really couldn't be arsed, it must be exhausting.
