    I wouldn't want Frigan and Cannon, I like both - I'd def prefer Cannon, as both really play through the middle

    I do think RM might become Frigan's best position but think we need a natural player in that position who could also cover other positions

    I hope we go for Vale as he will give us cover in quite a few positions

    Would you say Cannon and Frigan are a similar profile upfront?

    Simply for the price difference Frigan is a better buy imo

    The nice thing about our striker option being capable of playing out wide is that it represents another route into minutes. One drawback with Cannon over Frigan is that he's only getting game time by replacing Isidor, or on occasion playing alongside.

    Frigan links play a bit more than Cannon, Cannon better in and around the box. Cannons hold up play is better but Frigan offers more flexibility I reckon

    There is just something about Cannon i am not convinced with, in the 3 games we have played against Stoke I haven't thought we really need to sign him.

    I appreciate he is playing in a poor Stoke side, IF he signs then he gets my full support as they all do, but i wont be too upset if he doesn't come and we get someone else in

    As much as we’re talking about all our options up front, only Isidor is capable of regular goals as a CF. We simply don’t score enough. That said I think we only need one additional CF & Cannon would be a great fit.

    I think Mayenda is better on the inside right . His close control and pace are excellent but he needs to improve shooting and heading at the target -but he’s better at hitting the onion bag than Roberts.

    As Watson & Mundle get back fit, our options in the middle and up front will be incredible at the business end of the season

    abdullah & Og need loans to get up to speed.

    Maybe they are looking at Frigan as a Rusyn type upgrade/replacement in the squad. Does that block Ogunsuyi tho - maybe he goes out on loan to play 1st team games
    And looking at Cannon/another as a first team challenger to Wilson and Mayenda.

    Think back to a year ago and the likes of Burstow/Hemir, Rusyn etc - what a dramatic change. Fair play to the club

    I think Frigan will be challenging Isidor tbh, 5m+ we will need to pay for the lad which is more than our buy clause for Isidor

    Would be against signing both Cannon and Frigan. One of them plus a winger who can play both sides would be my preference, then maybe a fullback.

    Same as above but I’d sign Harvey vale rather than and out and out fullback at this time

    All aboard the Frigan train I guess. My only issue with him is that we might have to endure years of awful puns and wordplay
