McCallum hasn’t gone anywhere yet

Just can't see it happening but you never know.

I guess it will come down to how ambitious the consortium are.

Personally, I think they wont go for high earners but exciting raw lower level players.

Tishimanga would be a good signing but I'm not sure he fits our profile. He had a huge injury and hasn't been the same since. Posh will also want a fee and he will want high wages. We've been down this kind of road before.
 
The issue with Tshimanga is that he had quite a bad injury. If he’s properly over that he’d be an amazing signing. If however he’s lost half a step he’s probably on quite high wages when we need to reign in spending and live within our means.

This is one where I’d wish I had a little more confidence in our medical team and ol’ healing hands.

I agree with your assessment. I think Tshimanga would be a high risk signing on many fronts. There would seem be to a lot more promising and less expensive alternatives available.
 
I guess on loan (Tshimanga) would be an option and suit all parties…puts him back in the shop window and no wages risk for us
 
Brad Dolaghan wasn’t named in the Worthing side today, he’s looking for a club, scores goals for fun, still young, had a trial with Blackpool last season…
Really interesting suggestion, Napster. Hopefully, John Still knows all about Dolaghan's potential.

Two other strikers - both at South Shields - might be considered. I have already mentioned one - Paul Blackett (who scored 30 goals last season in the same league Danny Waldron played in last season) - but it is another young striker, 23 year old Sam Hodgson, highly rated and spent much of last season out on loan at Morpeth Town (where he scored 25 goals) who might be easier to sign and, like Dolaghan, offer competition to Cardwell and Waldron.
 
Almost three pages in. Surely time for Matt Lockwood?
I can confirm Matt is looking for a new role....

However having moved into management with Montserrat (albeit for a short duration) and being based in Edinburgh he is unlikely to put his boots on again and especially.move back to essex. Probably more likely to join your golf team!

On that note if you're ever looking to play golf in Scotland look him up. He runs a golf holiday company.
