Pepple is a great shout, Bloomfield has already said he's not in his plans and rumours are he'd sell him for £150k? He clicked into a groove for us as he got more game time and we know he enjoyed his time with us

Not in a million years are we spending 150k on a player

We should otherwise we won't have a chance. Against other clubs at this level. Plus it's an investment if he plays well his price would rise significantlyNot in a million years are we spending 150k on a player
A few years ago yes. Won’t fit our age profile now.

Yeah not for me. Only 8 goals last season in NLS too, so seems like he’s on the way down. Before that though he hit 27 goals in the league 3 seasons running which is really impressive.

People need to remember the sustainability part and not lose sight of how close this club came to the end and why that happened. If this were 7 or 8 years ago, Ron probably wouldn’t have been able to throw £150k of the Wembley money at Luton fast enough. But I don’t think that’s us anymore. Some might be disappointed in who we end up signing, but I think the big underline is about finding value. I think we’re more about finding the next Gus, Golding, KAF, Cardwell, Pepple etc. these days rather than throwing money around. I’m all for it in fairness, as I never want us going back to those dark days.

I do get the age profile part but I still think u need some experience among the team - yes we do have experience but u can’t beat the likes of players that have experienced promotions and know how to get u over the line when it matters
It’s no coincidence that Mellon was appointed to do such a job at Oldham and it was an old experienced head that ultimately turned the game on its head with the know how to leave three defenders out of his reach and keep his head to round the keeper and a lot home
Love the likes of Kendall but I feel he panics in that situation and takes the shot early or takes an extra touch to leave him with a lot to do

Exactly. There will be uproar on here if we dont pay a big chunk for a decent striker and then lose our first game of the season. Mark my words

What we want and what we get are completely different. So trying to be realistic
We could lose, GSM, HT, CAN & KAF (if we lose we need to replace with the same type of player)
We need goals from midfield & forwards (would need to be 1 in 1 out)
At least I'd like to move on Wood, Waldron & Gubbins.
So to have a squad need LB cover 2x CB's preferably a RW and ST

I agree with this to a point but I think we are going to have to get the cheque book out and a combination of signings. Pepple for £150k would be a steal

Don’t get me wrong, if we’ve got far more in the budget than we were expecting because of the Cardwell money, Wembley etc. I’m all for it. But absolutely not expecting it and we shouldn’t be robbing Peter to pay Paul for him if that money is earmarked elsewhere.

In fairness to Boone he has proved without a doubt that he cannot score goals
Plenty of energy but a massive lack in quality.

Absolutely support the sustainability approach but agree if there was a realistic chance to secure Bim for150k it has to be worth serious consideration. He certainly ticks the profile and definitely has the potential for a very good return on a future transfer fee, all hypothetical I know in Bim's case but the principle of such a move should not just be dismissed out of hand and I am sure it wouldn't be by COSU they just need to be sure it would be right for the Club in both the short and long term

Lopata was in my opinion one of the best centre backs I’ve seen at the club and still so young. Would absolutely love him back

I would normally agree but I think the board witnessed the potential we have the weekend and it's maybe given them a jolt, Justin has come out and said we are going to attack next season and he needs to back Kev with funds, I'm hoping we made a decent amount from Wembley and now we finally have some momentum I'm hoping we would!Not in a million years are we spending 150k on a player
