Good luck to him wonder if we will still be looking to bring another striker in even if  Tom Peers stays

[Saughall Robin]

I think if another striker comes in, Tom will be going.
If we're thinning out the squad to make room for signings, and lads like Simon Richman are going, that's probable.
If he stays it'll most likely be because it's not saving much on the budget imho.

I think more competition will always be encouraged under Phil and Neil, look at our roster of wingers. We were due to start the 20/21 season with Hulme, Clayton and Peers. Obviously two of those players moved on for different reasons, but the set up was there.

0.88 of a goal would be a decent return when you consider a few strikers we've had the misfortune of seeing in red and white of late.

Looking like Dinanga is the main man we're going with up top this season listening to the Q&A last night.
Let's just hope it's an inspired signing.
I still think I'd feel more comfortable with another top striker in the squad as Fisayo and Tom were not the permanent answer as a starting number nine.
I'm not even sure whether they are still with us as the squad numbers have not yet been released.

Tom Peers is contracted to the club until the end of next season, isn't he? I don't know about Fis.

Thanks for reminding me about Tom, PCCP! 😉
In my view, he'll probably be making most of his appearances after the hour mark as an 'impact'.
As for Fisayo, I'm sure the management will be looking at him and hopefully some trialists before deciding on who to offer a contract to.
My hope is that we can pick up a decent target man option in his place.

Dinanga, I can't comment on. There are lads who have been overlooked by bigger clubs, who have come in and done a good job، so who knows?

Neither Fis nor Peers are the answer to our problems. Whatever the management say, our strikers last year were woeful, so here's to hoping they manage to unearth a real gem before the start of the season...or it could be a long one.

[Paul Cain's Chip Pan]

I do believe that Peers offers value as an impact sub, and I would guess he doesn't take a huge chunk out of the budget? Unless Fis was playing within himself previously, I didn't see anything to suggest we should keep him.

I think we'll sign another striker.

up front is a  concern  but the centre of midfield is a priority i would think .

In the Q&A it sounded like Parkie might have a quality replacement in mind.

[Saughall Robin]

See Fisayo has not got a squad number and Richie Sutton has. There's two questions answered.

[robininstockport]

Surprised at about 5 of the squad,  2 in a good 3 not so

What's happened with Kirby?
