Name one player we signed who was 'warming the bench somewhere in the Championship' when we signed them.

The more and more I think about it, I would like to see Chris Wood back.
- He would'nt cost too much. £1.5 million tops.
- He knows the system Gus plays.
- Knows the players from previous spell.
- Still only 21 and could be sold on for a decent fee if he matures into a decent striker.
- Tall striker with decent feet and more importantly...can finish!

Paynter.
Was thinking the same yesterday. Clayton Donaldson from Brentford is another player we should look at if we're on a tight budget, but who really knows what kind of money Gus has at his disposal.
All good shouts. Vaz Te or Becchio would be incredible for us.
Gus you only ever play one striker. What do you intend to do with your most expensive signing and top earner when you 'spend big' and bring in this new striker?
He needs to answer this question before I believe a word of it. He's asking publicly for what he knows he wont get so that he has an excuse if we dont make the playoffs.

So he can play him as a left winger
He was the bench.
We should be having a look at Stephen Gleeson or Luke Chadwick from MK Dons as well to give us a bit more in midfield. Both technical, versatile midfielders that wouldn't break the bank, but would certainly be a better option than Dicker/Sparrow/Harley etc. Gleeson would probably be the better option as he's only 24, but Chadwick is pretty free-scoring despite the fact he's reaching the end of his career. MK have a similar set-up to us, play a similar game to us and I reckon either of these two would fit into our side without a problem.
The Clayton Donaldson rumours are giving me much amusement. Saw the guy play regularly when I was at uni in York a few years ago. Bags of pace, but pretty weak first touch and finisher (required plenty of chances). That was fine in the conference, but there is a reason why at 28 he hasn't played at a standard higher than league 1.

As we can't buy strikers for toffee TB has decided to sell CMS, WB & LB to Norwich for £10m & divide cash amongst all 22K ST holders which means £450 credit each
So, those 3 gone but we all get a free years ST watching squad leftovers
Deal or No Deal?

I have watched Donaldson a few times at Brentford and I don't think he is very good. Pace but no finish.

If we do, then the striker turns out to be a flop. Then bye, bye cheque book ever again.
