@ Pirate If you could get any of these strikers in to the club after hearing of Jonahs injury - which would you want the most? Cheers Tristan Abrahams. Nice. Imagine a shock double swoop including Sheehan. Could be interesting - (Dreams of course)

Abrahams and Sheehan would complete our squad imo. Can't see it happening though unfortunately with Newport doing well in L2.

21-year-old striker Ben House one to monitor at Eastleigh. Impressed previously in Reading U18s. Capped at U21 level for Scotland.

Ben House sounds great. I’d put my mortgage on him finding the back him finding the back of the net!

Now in the Ivory Coast squad. Would love to see us making signings like this. Lewis Montsma who joined Lincoln this summer is just one example of a League One club being smart in the international market. We were told it wasn't possible to sign players from abroad in the summer window as players wouldn't move because of Covid. Lol.

It was suggested that re-focused on the national market because covid could make things tricky. It's easy to point at a few signings and suggest we were wrong but overall I feel it was a reasonable decision.

Garner: "Because of the pandemic and the impact it's had, we felt it would be very difficult to bring players in from other countries during this window."

Our scouting resources are currently small. I think its correct that we didnt risk resource chasing players where a difficulty could arise. Feels snide.

I'll laugh at the reasoning because I think it's laughable. Hundreds of players moved to various different countries in the window seemingly without much difficulty.

Would be keeping a close eye on Luke Charman at Darlington, Lewis Reilly at Chorley, Joe White at Hendon, Jacob Wakeling at Alvechurch, George Nikaj at Dover/Ramsgate, Alex Fletcher at Tiverton, Joe Iaciofano at Havant & Waterlooville and Kesna Clarke at Tooting & Mitcham. I like Fraser Preston at Boston United, but he is playing more as a winger. Edit: Ben House is one at Eastleigh who I think could continue to impress this season and eventually attract interest from higher levels. As I've said before though, the one striker I'd like to see us sign and develop further is Tristan Abrahams.

The only thing is we've already got 3 strikers of our own to develop - Phillips, Hulbert and Warwick.
