One person I do have trust in , and that is MT. If he does not want him , then that's good enough for me.
The guy will know JCH inside and out from being in this league . and mabey had him on his radar at Rotherham.
MT will want to build a squad in his own way.
Straight away MT has gone for more mobility up front , dropping Martin and putting Collins/Marquis/Brown in the roles. So don’t think JCH is the type of striker he is looking for anyway. It will be interesting to see where he ends up and how well he does…… who gets the “ I told you so “ rights if he flops or starts banging in a hatful oh goals . |

MT played Martin in his first league game but rested him for the following FA Cup game and then Marquis decided to prove that he still was a decent striker and made dropping him impossible, if JM hadn't had such a good game then Martin would probably have returned for the Bolton game. |

Yes , played him and decided he wasn’t mobile enough and we were better with Marquis. 👍 |

The ones who somehow imagine that without any scouting network, we're going to now unearth a youngster who'll score 20 goals a season and then be sold for £m's? I'm starting to think we were never seriously going to sign JCH and it was all some kind of odd publicity stunt, if it wasn't I doubt TG would still be at the club. Err. What would ANYONE get out of that? Nobody came out of that looking good. No idea but if we had upwards of £1m to spend in the summer I assume he's still there to be spent in January, but I won't be holding my breath. I'm expecting the "you don't get good value in January" comment to be rolled out sooner or later. |

To anyone hoping we sign a young up-and-coming striker, I give you John Ayunga, James Daly and Bernard Mensah. We dont have a good track record in recent times and I dont see how that will suddenly change. JCH will guarantee goals in this league and wants to be here, or at least wanted to be here...

Not really sure that's relevant though to be fair. If Taylor had been our manager all that time, then maybe. But suggesting a couple of sh*te signings (who just happened to be young) effectively point towards us not being able to sign a quality youngster moving forwards is a bit far fetched IMO. By the same token, I could argue "anyone thinking we can splash a bit of cash and get a decent striker", I give you Martin Cameron, Mickey Evans, Tom Nichols etc. etc. etc. |

A good place to start |

A good place to start Who says he asked for more at the last minute? So much in the way of rumour and conjecture. Equally I’ve heard we decided to pull out at the last minute having got cold feet. Only a small set of people really know what happened. |

According to one Barry Fry, JCH will not be coming to BRFC, as they are no longer interested in him.

JCH will score goals and goals win games. No brainer for me but if the club think they can do better for less money ill get the popcorn out.... |

Surely JCH just goes where his dodgy agent tells him to go? It's odd how he seems to have such a hold on JCH. |

That's basically what Barry Fry said. Seems harsh to sack Barton for 'footballing reasons' when the club make a huge cock up in not signing one of his main targets who was in the building after already losing a striker. I'd have been fuming. Stange how Taylor currently prefers mobile forwards who don't score, over immobile ones who do... |
