Only miller for me,at the moment we have no strikers who can score and if Lumley gets recalled no decent permanent goalkeeper two of the most important positions in any football team,why would miller choose Peterborough they have James Clarke's pet, perhaps Clarke was right about James after all since Taylors and james respective moves James is only 2 goals behind Taylor. Only Miller for you suggests you are quite blinkered. You have seen the number of goals and that people want him. so we must have him
He isn't the only player around

What about the Irish lad at Brighton who we tried to get. Not played much for them. Towner or something like. Richie Towell? made 1 league appearance and about 2 or 3 in cup for Brighton in 18 months i think..... had injury problems , prob available now Brighton have gone up but his injury/appearance record is off putting

And that would be Gary Penrice? Who is big pals with Ian Holloway? Who manages QPR? must be true then. There is another ex rover who is a scout with a top team Giuliano Grazioli and Bradley Allen are both scouts for Prem Clubs

I really like James Collins of Crawley. Optimum age, good pedigree, exactly the right size and power to be a force up front with presence. Only thing is, keep him away from Whaddon Road as he likes to take the p*ss at Cheltenham (!).
For me, the standout striker in our division this season was James Vaughan. In an unimpressive Bury outfit, he shone and pretty much single handedly saved them from relegation. He also gave us grief. All other top strikers in our division played for varying successful clubs.
Both may cost a pretty penny, but I get a feeling may be snapped up sometime by ambitious clubs..

Paddy Madden and Luke Berry are players I've hailed again and again. Both would make the right sort of impact in looking for play-offs. And for the record, Bodin is too important to let go in my opinion. A two-footed winger with pace, great control and composed finishing two seasons running for the Gas must not be treated as a bargaining chip.

Scunthorpe paid a large fee for madden and might yet be in the championship next season with them and berry has 2 years left on his contract at cambridge. Reckon madden would cost about 600k and berry much more.

It would make sense if that were the case. I rate Lumley but I think were Bodin to go this would be a huge deal in people who are teetering on buying ST's and I would be gutted. To lose the snake was effing horrible but to then lose what is our best ball player woukd be unforgivable and I'd prefer to look elsewhere for a GK than to lose Billy Bob. God, I knew it was never going to be easy being gas but stuff like this boils my piss even if just talk. If we are genuinely looking to build a top6 side then we can't lose players like him. This just ruined my day just at the thought of it I suppose its depends on the striker coming the other way. Its not an unreasonable piece of business. You would have goalkeeper who we all seem to agree has proved himself this season, and potentially a striker who might solve our goal scoring issues. You have to remember Billy Bob was at some times this season considered a bit player. There is no doubt about it, he was a bit part player but more down to selection. I've had a look through QPR's squad and other than then1st team picks, I don't personally see any stand out guys but then, I'm not a manger nor do I pretend to know bugger all on potential. I just think that Billy is definitely well liked by the fans and many would feel it was the kick in the head that was preceded by the head shot we took when the snake left. As the son of Polish parents I've often wondered why we have not looked in that direction and definitely where GK's are concerned. The country is awash with talented GK's but also so,e very good defensive players. I'd be happy to help in translation lol. I jjsy don't find it acceptable at this stage. He's been the only one who has showed a spark when given the ball near to the opponents box. I also genuinely think it would hurt ST sales. Once again, just my opinion. I really hope we keep him and I know many others feel the same way. I haven't even mentioned this in conversation as I know it would cause friction. For forum eyes only

GK is very important position. Other signings for me: James Vaughan of Bury - 24 goals Luke Berry of Cambridge - so many goals from central midfield Greg Leigh of Bury or Bell of Fleetwood as left-back Grey Wylde - very impressive left winger when he played against us last season for Plymouth. Out of favour at Millwall. Oli McBurnie on loan - So Lumley + Sweeney would make 7 quality signings James Vaughan woukd be a massive gamble. He is a quality player whose career was massively damaged by injuries. Would have become an Everton regular without them. Knowing our luck he will do his cruciate in pre season.

True, but what are Bury realistically paying for him. if you go for someone like Vaughn (and I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't particularly wants to move from the North West anyway) surely you have to tailor a deal with appearance fees and contract options if he plays x games (not the same as triggering an extension necessarily)

A fair few people on Twitter have mentioned Michael Smith as the transfer listed by Peterborough. It's a no from me though as Leads is more than capable and we're yet to see the best (or anything really) from Partington. Defence is not somewhere we need to improve as I personally rate Jonny Burn from what I've seen

Worth it considering his goals kept them up.

The season's been over for FOUR DAYS, there's plenty of time and budget to find some options. Ricky Miller is not our end-all-be-all. Have some patience for god's sake.

The season is not even over for clubs where we would hope to sign players from.

Öztumer is someone I'd ideally love to see here, hell of a playmaker, but for now the top priority should be strikers and a keeper
