He's the one Wilson spoke to How are we losing out on players to Grimsby? No one knows we are doing.

He's a very talented player by all accounts. He may not be our first target and we're waiting on others.

Yes, and we might actually start getting more patiance if the latter happened and success would feel a lot sweeter. We’ve made a start on that TBF We shouldn’t be looking at Tanto and Stretton as First Team regulars this year; they have been signed with their personal development and long term value in mind - It is only necessity that forced them to step up at the back end of last season and whilst it will have done them a great deal of good to prove their worth it will be hugely detrimental to consider them ready because they are not - the pressure is on this season - it should be placed on the shoulders of experienced League Players not prospects For a multitude of reasons we have to sign a Target Man - not doing so will be as harmful, if not more, than failing to sort out LCB last Summer Tanto needs to be a first team regular next season. He’s already been that at this level so for him not to be could see his progress stall. Stretton probably needs to be as well as he was getting week in week out football at Carlisle. Tanto is ready.

He was POTY at Gateshead the same team we’ve just brought Pye from. He’s a good passer, presser and tackler and looked like a really good option as competition for Croasdale.

I agree but just a note for Ethan Pye- I was encouraged to see Pye was the Players Player at Gateshead, IMO the best one to get. I think Conteh was fans player of the year.

I think Tanto is ready to stand up well this year. He really improved whilst here. Think we need to be a bit more aware of how we play with Stretton up top, he won't hold the ball up but looks like his game is the ball behind and finding space in the box.

Yeah it wasn’t a slight at Pye but just found it odd that people would say he’d be nowhere our team simply on the basis that he was at Gateshead last season and a team who nearly made the Premier League don’t want to keep him.

I'm not saying he's not a good player I've no idea if he is or not but he's twenty years old and he's been released by Palace, Watford and Boro in a relatively short space of time, they've all had a good look at him and decided he's not for them, he's done well at Gateshead but they finished 14th in the NL, it's a big step up for the lad, same for Ethan Pye.

I think we will ruin any chances of him ever making a career from this point on if we make him our go to striker in a must get promoted season I agree he has the raw materials but what we saw in April/May/June was a free hit You saw how anxious he was at first and yes that goes with game time but he will miss chances we can no longer afford him to miss - it’s just not the right time

He did it at this level when on loan at Sutton absolutely no reason why he can't do it with us. I think the anxiousness you described probably stemmed from wanting to impress from the off like everybody does in a new work setting & having to adjust to his new surroundings. He's had a little time to settle now & if we play to his strengths he'll start to do things more naturally.

Talk of ruining his career is madness. He’s got an opportunity to do the opposite.
