Would like to see Taylor go on loan till January, still think he's got something to offer. Not much point mate if Jones doesn’t consider him part of his plans….. It looks like your right, but I would just like to see him given a chance to prove what he can do. |

I totally agree 👍 To be honest NJ see's him every day in training and has made the call based on exactly that. Don't get me wrong, I think there's a good player in there but despite not wanting to sound harsh, I think we are struggling to offload Fraser so TT is the fall back so to speak, an alternative to offload, albeit reluctantly to allow us to bring somebody in who plays higher up the pitch. |

Rumour on the other site saying a midfielder is close…….Fleck’s name has been bandied about by a couple of posters over there previously, so wonder if this one has legs…..🤔 |

Or maybe mate it’s a case of all sides holding out until deadline day to see how much of Frasers wages we get lumbered with when he enevitably heads north……just a hunch on my part… |

I hope it's Callum Wright myself. Good player who Lincoln are chasing from Plymouth.
Danny Mandroiu is another I like but he's just gone back to his homeland and joined Shamrock Rovers.

Would be disappointed if it is him because you just cannot rely on his fitness levels and once he is there staying fit is a problem he has had many times before. Good player though to be fair. |

I was hoping for a someone who can beat a player with pace and create something to get us up the pitch quicker. Can’t see how Fleck is that person very underwhelming signing. Board need to dig deeper and pull some money up.

I'm personally hoping we bring in a higher level midfielder (even if they play further back rather than AM).
The likes of Mihaly Kata or Kasey Palmer (ideally both) appeal.
A sneaky bid for Joe Taylor striker wise (as his rumoured move to Hudd seems to have stalled) wouldn't go amiss either, but that's me being greedy.

The deal is done in priciple but as I keep saying it's subject to us offloading one of ours which we are on the verge of doing.

Is the done deal in principle for Fleck or one of the others mentioned, if you're allowed to say? Haven't got a name mate just an update on what's going on. I was told on the eve of the Wigan game that we are looking at a ball carrier someone who was in league 1 last season and above average for the level.To me this obviously rules out Campbell and Fleck and maybe brings Wiredu into the equation? Fraser or Taylor definitely have to go though for it to happen. If both leave then maybe we can add further in a different area or add the Hungarian lad. Maybe we have pressed the fast forward button on that one? I think delaying it until January as reported is risky as it puts him in the shop window. |

What’s the hold up with announcing Dixon

No hold up mate.
Personally I think we should have thought on a bit and delayed announcing the third kit until he could be seen revealing it.
No bigger welcome to the club for him that would have been but I'm told he is insanely confident anyway for a young kid.
Work permit has come through, he's training so ready to me involved although I think the u21/23's is where he'll start to get up to speed.
I think we'll have a few stepping stones for him like being involved in first team training but playing in the younger squads to begin with to get some minutes in his legs.
I think they'll monitor his progress with a view to starting him in the Mickey Mouse cup against Cambridge next month.
If he shows he's ready in that game I think he'll be involved from then on going forward.

Didn’t NJ say he was speaking to the owners while they’re here about bringing in players regardless of when others are offloaded.
Think that was from the SLP

Maybe they will introduce Dixon before the match on Saturday. Nothing like a good old Valley welcome.

Ben Garrity would be nice from Port Vale I was hoping for someone like Lewis Wing but the phrase "played in League One last season" suggests they're not currently in this division (or "they play in league one" would be said instead). Players from relegated teams that might fit the bill include Brendan Wiredu and Ben Garrity (as suggested by Reams and you respectively). Ethan Chislett is another name that crops up a fair bit and should add goals. Of course the player might not be from a relegated club but a promoted club or (more likely) someone who was on loan in L1 last season from the Championship, so there are likely several dozen possibilities. Might be nice if it's a name out of the blue that hasn't been speculated about here or on CL. |

Have a feeling it will be Ethan Chislett from Port Vale. Last two games hasn’t played full 90 minutes and has a market value of 350K. Can imagine negotiating this to 250 maybe with sell on clause.

As I understand he came through the Liverpool academy had a loan at Blackpool then Aberdeen and then back to Aberdeen on a permanent. It could be better than the Hungarian lad if he progresses as he could.
