I think Aaron Collins will be the next Matty Taylor, hopefully without the snakey departure.

As things stand, on paper, our strike force looks just as (un)impressive as it did last summer, surely JB can find a striker who's recently scored 15+ goals in a season? Ok Tops why don’t you do your research. Compile a list of all strikers that scored 15+ across the top 7 leagues in England. Then the rest of us will comment on what we think their transfer fee would be and likely wages….. GO! I'm not the one telling everybody we're going to got promoted next season, anyway there's plenty of L2 strikers (only you know why you referred to the the top 7 leagues) out there available on "free" transfers so transfer fees are irrelevant anyway. You keep on with your snide comments, meanwhile, I'll keep on hoping we actually sign a striker who knows where the goal is this summer.

You specifically complained about the lack of a 15 goal a season striker. I simply challenged you to find one. We will talk budget after you produce your list. Ok let’s make it top 8 leagues as you took offence.

I'm wondering if JB as a manager is an attraction or a disadvantage in tempting potential players. Ha yeah "Hi, do you want to sign for my Rovers squad? If things aren't going my way I'll hang you out to dry in every press conference I do. Even if I know you've got a season ending injury. So ... how about it"?

I know Aaron’s father. He’s been one of my customers for about 11 years. Really nice guy.

In fact, I’m due to get your mothers weekly order shortly. I know when I come round usually you have to stay downstairs, but this time I could do with a hand up the stairs. 🤣

If we sign these two strikers I can still see there being a further targetman coming in. You need five strikers of different types and Hanlan could be considered a winger in the squad as well as a striker. Strikers- Hanlan , Ayunga, Collins, Saunders +1 more. I think if we end up with that I will be quite happy as I have a feeling Hanlan will score more goals than people think in League 2 especially if Nicholson stays.

Pristine pitch!, those were the days! Watching that video made me feel older than I am but we had some great times in that dilapidated old stadium. I remember the goalmouth always being muddy but didn’t realise how bad the whole pitch was. I guess it’s easy to get nostalgic and romanticise those days. I was gutted when Randall went to Saints, who were a genuinely big club in those days

I don’t know why it happens but I have made this error many times. I guess it’s part of getting older.

I wouldn't mind seeing Aarons brother Lewis Collins here as well, but he is still under contract with Newport

If these two sign it takes a bit of pressure off but I still reckon JB will want a more proven striker. Said the same yesterday. UTG
