Rumoured (ages ago I'll admit) striker Callum Hendry has had a 1 year extention activated at Salford Might have been tempted by him for L2. Don’t think he’s L1 standard from when I’ve seen him play against us, aside from the worldie he scored.

Don’t think he’s L1 standard from when I’ve seen him play against us, aside from the worldie he scored. agreed. Seems to be able to volley the ball very well (scored a few great volleys this season and last) but I think bring Barry back and get madden to stay and I doubt we will look to bring another striker in tbh.

Scored a ridiculous scissor volley a month or so ago didn’t he. Depends what we think Stretton is likely to do I think. My brother and I were convinced he was going to have a big season for us this year until he got injured. Wootts, Tanto, Paddy & Stretton plus Barry or similar like you say would be fine for me.

Thought Stretton struggled last season in lg2, so i can't see him making an impact in lg1. Get him fit then ship him out, we'll need more clinical finishers than him

I very much doubt that's the plan; we paid a fee just over 12 months ago with an eye on us moving up to League One. He'll very much be in the plans for next season.

I don't know if we'll be looking to ship him out but also don't know if he'll figure in our immediate plans for League One. He's missed a year of his development and the physical degradation of being out for an entire year isn't something he's likely to spring back from immediately no matter how good his pre season is. I wouldn't be shocked if he's on loan for a bit once he's fit again and also wouldn't be shocked if we aren't confident that he'll make an impact at all with us next season, I think his recovery is going to be a tricky one and I'd imagine we aren't planning for him to play a significant part of our immediate future in L1

If we were to go for a Horsfall-style upgrade at DMC, who do people think might be ambitious but realistic? I've not seen either of them play, but heard very good things about Ethan Erhahon (Lincoln) and Idris El Mizouni (on loan at Orient - sorry, pugwash!). Both playing well in League One, sound like they've got the required attributes and are good ages. Wonder if we might go for either? Elliott Watt continues to be linked, but I'm not completely sure he's good enough at the tackling/dirty work side of the game. Is he actually an upgrade on Camps, or someone with similar strengths and weaknesses? Gab Sutton also mentioned Jamie Lindsay from Rotherham and Nelson Khumbeni from Bolton (on loan at Morecambe) as options, but neither have been playing for sides that have exactly set the world alight this year! Weren't Wrexham heavily linked with Lindsay in Jan. Basically sounded like a done deal but haggling on the price and Wrexham stood their ground, if RedPassion is to be believed?

Just our of curiosity how much do people think we paid for Bailey then? I wouldn't class what I said as insulting to him. He didn't want to be at Salford and he had 6 months left of his contract. He's not someone who's going to cost alot of money especially as he'd scored 0 goals in 22 games at Salford last season playing as a RW. Teams at league 2 don't spend much money on transfer fees and that's even evident by the money we've spent on transfer fees. Absolutely no idea but I'd guess somewhere between £1000 and £1million, to suggest he's not worth more than £50k is insulting in my opinion, from pure gueswork on my part it appears that both clubs did right by the player, they let him go where he wanted to go and didn't try to play us off against anyone else and we paid an accptable fee. Daylight robbery for me. I heard we could have got Apter in Jan for half the price...

I’d be very surprised if he’s not out on loan. It’s tough enough stepping up to L1 Nevermind after a year out. Maybe, although I'd think we'll at least try and integrate him into the first team before maybe a loan out late in the window if he isn't up to speed by that point. We definitely won't be looking to sell though.
