Seems a very good young player but honestly underwhelmed when Leon Clarke and Ched Evans were being thrown around on here. I think Reilly may actually score a relatively decent amount last season. But we are again seeming to leave ourselves in the situation of 4 non-goalscoring strikers. JCH may not be able to replicate his form. Reilly and Nichols both couldn't score last season and Smith scored 2 League one goals. Like I said I think he's a good player. But it is a tad worrying, and ideally I'd like to get rid of Reilly or Nichols and bring in a more proven goalscorer. Also, do you think once Coughlan brings in a winger and perhaps Scales, we'll be done? I would be underwhelmed by Leon Clarke too, at 34 i am not sure he would be prolific even in league 1. Can't believe people on here are saying they wouldn't take Leon Clarke or Ched Evans! Two strikers who have scored goals through pretty much all if their career! Were not going to sign them anyway but I do wonder who iur fans are expecting us to sign if they wouldn't take them 2!!

I see this as a positive signing. Without knowing anything about this guy, I can already guarantee he is an improvement on Payne. So no negatives from me. Hopefully he gets a chance unlike a fair few loanee's that we've had in recent seasons.

You missed at least 2 other typos. If you're going to point them out, then point all of them out not just one.

Who the hell are you expecting? He's got 77 goals from 160 appearances at this level and scored 19 goals in the Championship as recently as the 17/18 season.

Evans as nothing to do with ability, the worry with Clarke is that he could just be looking for one final pay day and will have zero sell on value, somebody like Matt Godden last summer would be the ideal signing but players like him will wait to the death to sign contracts at they are in demand.

(Providing Bennett stays) Hare and the Walsall bloke who's name evades me have both played wing. Add in Mensah/Rodman/Bennett and that's 5 players who can play on the wing. Maybe there's a youth player who's on the cusp of breaking into the first team as well. This is all providing that GC wants to play with wingers in the first place. With the fullbacks brought in, then it wouldn't shock me if we played a similar style to what Luton played down the mem against us this season.

I know SC wasn't saying that, thanks for confirming though. Leon Clarke is named in one rumour and suddenly the best player. He is 34 not really an up coming player. Ched Evans who i would definitely sign as he has 4 years on Clarke and probably has something to prove after personal problems have got in the way of his career.

I think we may see a permanent marquee striker signing yet only been waiting 12 years!

It’s our midfield that let us down last season. Major surgery required in that department.

My mate who knows nothing I add said that he expects Nichols to go out on loan, and there is another striker coming in. Also THD when fit would play wide left.

I'm guessing he'd prefer to prove himself in the Premier league, rather than League One though.

Young hungry player joins and I for one am pleased
GC seems to be putting his own stamp on the squad and building nicely. I’m probably in a minority but I hope Nichols stays and proves himself this season. If we can get the best out of him, Bennett, Sercs and Rodman we might only need one more creative soul through the door
I know every fan of every team in every division is probably feeling the same optimism before a ball is kicked but I do feel we will be a strong enough force in LG 1
Starting off well would be great, and the squad is being put together early. Good signs in my book
