Gaffer just commented in Holland we have targets as regards strikers. Meetings have taken place early this week but he said he still needs to know what budget is available !

I was watching the interview on YouTube as I read this. When asked about replacing Ellis, DC's fair comment is 'yeah certainly, getting clarity. I know there's been meetings at the park, obviously me and Tommy Widrington have a good list of players behind that. We need to know what we have to spend so we can get the right players in - like we say, use that word adaptability, and look forward to the new season starting.'
Concise, to the point and clearly the gears are in motion between board and manager to line something up. We have 3 strikers but lack a big target man, fingers crossed a powerhouse to come in!

Hopefully Christian Doidge of Forest Green. Yes,he looked great against us at FGR.Lovely dive for the pen but I didn't notice much else. Perhaps because he was up against TB. |

Doesent know what budget is available. That defies belief with the transfer window closing in a couple of weeks. Even when Matt Taylor was with us and banging in the goals I thought we were in desperate need of an extra two strikers, and so I think the position is way past critical at the moment.Unfortunately you cant pick decent strikers for nothing (well we never have anyway) and so I hope our board are prepared to dig deep or I will be ready for another mid table finish. |

Rather have money to spend than a disillusioned striker back. |

How do you know DC isnt just being coy. DC says lots of things He might not know, he might know full well and just isnt saying, because thats the sort of thing DC does |

Luke James has scored twice in two friendlies for Hartlepool. I think sometimes players just play well for one team, so Nichols back to Exeter (Please)

The proof of the pudding, as some say, will be in the eating*
Not sure whether Darrell was playing coy or making a statement to the board to stump up the cash. Either way we need a lead striker in before the end of the transfer window closes on 9th August (in 14 days time). Preferably a nasty barsteward who is at least 6'+
(*only some say as most people seem to get this wrong these days)

DC “we’ve got f**kloads of cash to spend. Bring it on, agents - there’s enough for everyone”
Revised statement to please fans.

Although based on his own comment that he wasn't guaranteed a place in Ipswich's team. |

Completely astute as ever is our DC. Why would he declare we have money - this is also why clubs at this level like the word undisclossed when conducting transfers.... Keeps everyone guessing to a degree and when you say thats too much for payer X the selling club will not be in a position to just say "we know you have the cash".
I look forward to the signing announcement this afternoon....

Not feeling great about our lack of options so far. We have lost 3 of the 4 strikers from last year (Ellis, Gaffney, Telford) and are likely to be fairly toothless upfront. Hopefully the new lad from Scotland will do something, but i'm not feeling too great about it.
