Barton on the striker we missed out on: "As soon as a League One club starts sniffing round, they’ve got more money than you and obviously the appeal of playing in League One" You know its bad if Shrewsbury Town have more financial clout than us (..although I cant see how this would affect a loan player) We've got a league one budget this season apparently according to some on here. Believe that and you'll believe anything. 😆 JB quoted the figures recently, the budgets been cut from something like £2.5m to £1.8m/£1.9m which will still be a decent budget for L2, but how much of that will be taken up by the likes of Hanlan, Westbrooke, Barrett, Liddell, Harries and Baldwin if we can't move them on. Appointing Garner could well ruin 3 seasons unless JB can work his magic.

I'd be surprised if we are not looking at Kieran Agard. 31, just released by MK Dons plenty of experience and decent goals ratio.

Barton said we are looking to move along on a couple more in the next 24-48 hours incomings.

Could be another Rollin, hope the club keeps an eye on him alongside Jay Murray.

We have a 'development squad' for a reason, always gets on my nerves why we don't sign up promising local players who are 17-20 years old. Plenty have gone on to do well elsewhere.

Signed Ryan Jones from them, so you never know. I can think of about 50 good young players in non-league worth trialling in the development squad, but we don't seem to have much interest in it anymore unfortunately.

Stand by my previous comments about needing another left back, right back, centre back, a central midfielder and centre forward.

Barton mentioned in a recent interview he think he still needs "5 or 6" more signings and I'd have to agree. I'd also agree we need to move some players on...Baldwin, Harries, Liddle, Barrett, Hargreaves, Westbrooke and if Hanlan wants to go let him go. I wouldn't lose sleep if we terminated the loan deals of Taylor and Spence either.

What are your thoughts on Trevor Clarke, not just as a wingback but in a four? Same with Grant, JB feels he’s a defender and will be RCB in our next game - have you seen much of him at the back?

Not really sure about Clarke at left back as I've only really seen him as a wing back or winger. Grant looked good in youth football as a centre back, but a big difference between youth football and the mens stuff at this level. According to some Plymouth fans he struggled a bit at the back and only improved after moving to a defensive midfield role.

We need to be able to play a four at the back and we can’t. If we always set up 3-4-3 we will get found out. We’re short on quality at centre back and short of a ball carrying midfielder and a physical striker.

Wasnt there talk of Glen Whelan a few days ago, if that was the case Grant could potentially play in the back 3 with Whelan in midfield. Not sure how reliable that info was though
