WIZZO83 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I thought the spelling of league gave it away as an oldham fan!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 The trial of Featherstone, Chantler and one other has found them unsuitable. Gros and two others still under scrutiny. http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-features/10/oldham-athletic-news/86704/thatll-do-nicely We'll sign Gros I reckon. In a recent interview LJ alluded to us on here (I imagine) discussing strikers with poor stats and how that doesn't always tell the full story.

yarddog73 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 2 goals in 49 league games one of which was on his debut !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_b_100 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Im liking the Brian Stocks rumour.... Local too ... a shez type ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookersstandandy Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 2 goals in 49 league games one of which was on his debut !!! ...so, by your own admission, he once had a goal a game record.... hence supporting LJ's argument that stats are only part of the picture. Of course, we'd all prefer someone who's scored 20+ in 49 games.... however, they'll likely cost more than we can afford, so we've got to trust LJ to find us someone who's stats don't tell the full picture.

Crusoe Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Gros' stats don't fill me with enthusiasm or confidence, but I guess if he was already scoring 20 a season he'd be out of our league. If there is any mileage in the rumour he's signing I'd take a little heart from the fact that Paul Warne's scoring record was appalling before he joined us (although Gros' is much worse) and Killie rated him well enough to hand him a three year deal in August 2013.

JohnnyPimp Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Apparently will Hoskins as signed a two year deal and the announcement will be later today. He's been in the wilderness for the past couple of years but I'll still be pleased if true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Apparently will Hoskins as signed a two year deal and the announcement will be later today. 17 in 43 for Bristol Rovers, did well at Rotherham too but has struggled when he's stepped up to the Championship and been injured a bit by the looks of it. I hope this is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Stock would be a good addition and we would then have a pretty strong midfield....as much as I would like Clarke and his goal threat I just can't see how we could possibly afford him. He would almost certainly help get us up around the top 6 and as a result the thousand or so increase on the gate that would bring could help finance the deal, the question is, do we gamble and go for it? You can play all the fancy football you like but as we all know if you can't put the ball in the net you won't win enough games. If not I would rather stick with what we have plus a Gros type as I think we need the addition of a big forward who can hold the ball up top and help bring others into play. Cassidy may be a good prospect but I would rather give our own players such as Bove & Turner some game time than help another clubs player prosper at our expense.

Geordie Blue Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Apparently will Hoskins as signed a two year deal and the announcement will be later today. We'll have had to have nabbed him from Barnsley then, he's been on trial there and is due to play against Halifax on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShireBlue Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Stock looks half decent, wonder if he did sign one of Stock, Kelly or Jones would go wide right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally the Chron makes a point of dispelling those sort of rumours so I'm hoping they've done some digging and there's a bit of truth to it, rather than them just regurgitating some twitter kid's wet dream.
