Omochere - (L1 - 6 Goals - 2023/2024)
Sotiriu - (L1 - 11 Goals - 2023/2024)
Martin - (L1 - 16 Goals - 2023/2024)
We do need one more recognised striker but it's just unfortunate that two of the three have been injured in pre-season.

Does this mean Mansfield are selling Davis Keillor-Dunn? 22 Goals in League two in 2023/2024. Looking at our recruitment model for this season he would fit in. |

Barnsley fans seem to think he’s nailed on for them so sadly don’t think he’s a goer. Shame really as he tore us apart a few years back when he was playing for Oldham and really wanted us to sign him then. |

Wes - do you think it's a failure of scouting that we have ended up paying half a million for a player when he (or his equivalent) could have been recruited from the LOI or non-league for far less? It's a lot of money, but there is potential there and only time will tell if it is money well spent or not. Fingers crossed for him. I think it's fair to say our recruitment and scouting have left a lot to be desired for a number of years, at least the ownership and management have acknowledged that fact and have now put some sort of structure in place. Again, ultimately time will tell how successful we are. Thanks Wes, appreciate your view. I think it's a fine line between how much a club charges it's supporters and how much money it wastes on transfer fees and poor recruitment. Therefore, spending half a million on a player that could have cost nothing is also gambling on ticket prices in future years if it doesn't pay off. If it does pay off I hope ticket prices are kept affordable. I guess the question is how do we avoid spending another half a million on a future player if we know that that future player will cost nothing now so long as we can find him and then develop him. |

To be successful or even to compete, you need goals from all over the pitch. I'm hoping that our defenders will chip in with a good few this season. But yes I agree we need more striking options, or even another goalscorering midfielder.

Think Nicky Cadden would be a good move for us, always been impressed with him. I would imagine we will only sign 1 more, unless more leave.
Tbf, I think a front 3 of Martin, Promise and Sotiriou isn't a bad place to be. We surely can't have too much more money to spend? Will Evans would be great, but think he'd be at least 300-500k.
Wouldn't be adverse to Coburn coming back, he has ability.

Even Posh aren't signing players for nothing and selling them for £m's, it's a total fallacy that there's a long list of non league players ready to step up to L1 football. |

Not seen Will Evans but could he be a one season wonder?
Remember Telford?

Has there been any indication that we are going for another striker or is it just Gaschat talk again?

In reality, it's currently a "no-win" situation for most owners. In League 1, most club's are already losing a few million pounds each year, unless they get a big transfer fee in. They cut their budget / go conservative on players they buy and likely do worse than before, see a drop in attendances and lose more. |

i have to say there is a risk to signing Will Evans as he may be a one season wonder but I would say it is less of a risk than taking on a striker who has not scored goals at League level. Who am I to say though because I was one who thought Javani Brown was an absolutely fantastic signing and am still of the opinion we should give him to January at least but so far he could be classed as a one season wonder. Oh the job of being in charge of recruitment when you have to find almost a complete team and get it right!!

I can't see Evans fits the owners "sign them young to sell on" mantra, by the time his contract is up he'll probably be too old to sell on. Plus Mansfield probably need to spend the money they are apparently getting from Barnsley. |

Didn't MT mention we were a few weeks back? I haven't got a clue, did he? Yes, said he was looking to sign a striker and it could be late in the window as they are the players in demand and could well be a loan deal. I've no idea why Dan Hargreaves is suggesting we also need a goalie as I assume Hall is going to do exactly the same job this season as he did last season, which is basically get paid to sit and watch Rovers play from the bench! |
