Excluding promoted teams' players, and loan signings of Lincoln & Forest Green, one player you'd like to see join us from any club that last season played league one/two?
Money no object.
No current conference players.
No current championship players.
Just an idea.
I say:
James Vaughan.

Still think cheek at Braintree is worth a look although Peterborough have already signed two of the most promising players from the national league already would you rather live in Peterborough or Bristol as a player seems like we are missing a trick or two !

Didn't one of them come from Peterborough?
Sure house prices are a lot lower round there!

Trouble is we never or very rarely see any league 1,2 or conference players play so were just reading reports and looking at stats.
The players i saw once or maybe twice that i liked were ,charlie wyke,nile ranger,simon cox,john margerison,kieran agard and steve morrison.
For me they all looked as good as taylor and better than anyone we have at the club right now in that department.

Erhun Oztumer – Walsall’s ‘Turkish Messi’
By Luke Baker
(Picture: ProSports/Stuart Butcher)
THE question of whether Lionel Messi could do it on a cold Tuesday night at Bristol Rovers may never be definitively answered.
But, if that question were asked of the man dubbed the Turkish Messi, the answer would be an emphatic ‘yes’.
Standing just 5ft 3in tall, quick, intelligent and with a wand of a left foot, the Messi comparisons were perhaps inevitable for Erhun Oztumer.
His Turkish heritage provided a handy jumping-off point for the nickname.
Having scored 61 goals in two seasons at Non-League Dulwich Hamlet, Oztumer then lit up League One with Peterborough before moving to Walsall over the summer – and, incredibly, he has got even better.
Eight goals to his name already this term, including a classy 20-yard curler away to Bristol Rovers on a Tuesday night, suggest the midfielder is earning his nickname.
He admits the Argentine maestro is a hero of his and, while he’s not entirely convinced by the comparison, he does take inspiration from the Barcelona star.
“It’s a very big shout to be fair,” says Oztumer of the nickname, with a laugh. “Obviously I look up to Messi and he’s a great player.
“I’m just trying to be me, not Messi, but I do try to learn from him. I watch most of his games on TV but I think the comparison is mainly because we’re both short and left-footed!
“It’s great for people to say that but I’m nowhere near his standard. I’m just trying to learn from him.”
Oztumer’s penchant for both the spectacular and the important this season has also done little to quell the association with Messi.
The 25-year-old scored the winner direct from a corner in a 3-2 victory over Shrewsbury and netted both goals – an audacious 40-yard lob and a classy volley – in a 2-0 win away to Swindon.
Then, just last weekend, he grabbed the late equaliser in a 1-1 draw with Coventry by delightfully finding the bottom corner after a slick one-two with Simeon Jackson.
However, while Messi scored 48, 59, 40, 56 and 72 goals in each of the last five seasons, Oztumer admits his goal target for this campaign was a little more modest.

Oztumer, also an awful shout, you have to build a side around him and have players doing his doggies. We'd have to completely rebuild our midfield to suit him.

Michy Batshuayi and Cesc Fabregas played well against us.
Sign them.

Michy Batshuayi and Cesc Fabregas played well against us. Sign them. Batshuayi hasn't been getting regular game time this season either. Maybe ask Jake Clarke-Salter to have a word? Surely Wael's Chelsea links make it worth a punt? |

O Clarke and Sinclair will do the tackling, breaking up play and Oztumer would provide the class with some superb passes for our two new front men. Have you not heard ? The side is being rebuilt anyway 14 players released 10-11 new ones coming in |
