I think this would make sense if we could make it happen. Coburn won’t be here next season and we will have a fight in the summer to keep Collins.

One of those twitter rumour pages claim it's Fleetwood for £250k. Seen some post about James Scott on here and that he is in talks with a League 1 club, Could be anyone of the other 23 clubs but I wonder if he could be the winger Joey wants?? I did think that about James Scott when I posted the link about him interesting clubs at our level. Never quite fulfilled his potential, but a player that does have ability.

It might not have worked out this time around at Peterborough, but Marriott has always been a player I've rated highly going all the way back to his days coming through at Ipswich. A proven goalscorer at this level in the past, at the age of 28 this could be an inspired signing if someone can get the best out of him.

I love Coburn, but he’s not our player and never will be. If someone with the talent and pedigree of Marriott is available, I’d throw the kitchen sink and getting him!

I can’t believe fleetwood would be more attractive destination for him?

I agree signing for Fleetwood does seem a strange move

We will need to sign a couple of quality strikers in the summer, and if Marriott is available now I would do everything we can to sign him. If the budget is tight bring forward the budget we will need in the summer to replace coburn and likely Collins

Pity we missed out on free agent Curtis Nelson left Cardiff City to be picked up yesterday by Blackpool.
28 year old experienced centre back formerly at Oxford and Plymouth Argyle and 100 plus matches for Cardiff. Just the type we would have benefited from.

Just the type we would have benefited from. Would have been a very good signing. I unfortunately as it currently is we wouldn’t be able to compete with clubs in the championship, they are probably offering 10x anything we could match

The same way as most clubs, reliant on owner, unless we're able to generate enough income from player trading or revenue that a new stadium and facilities can bring.

Trying to figure out if this is a serious question? Serious question The same way as most clubs. Wael has made money available last season and this summer. Wael could easily make the money available now and recoup that by not laying out in the summer. Sometimes you have to be proactive. A quality striker for this level is available now, and it is a certainty we will have to find a striker of similar quality at some point. We will lose coburn at the end of the season

So what we are saying is "Wael, last summer's recruitment was poor and we need to do it again in January. I know we are losing £million+, but can we have some more money please? What would you say?

Where did you get that from? No one is saying the summer recruitment was not up to scratch. We are talking about a player that is quality for this level being made available. It’s called being proactive. We will need to sign a quality striker to replace coburn and potentially Collins in the summer. This is a player that would fit that bill.

Bit leading there Oldie. Its not like we’re asking a stranger for some cash. I’m sure Joey has a budget and like any other business would have to justify going outside that budget

No, what you are doing is backing the manager and reinforcing a squad with much needed players which is an ongoing process every transfer window. That's football.
