    'BIdding for two strikers, Henderson and another. Having a go'

    the other person tweets, 'Do you know who the other one is?'

    Alan responded, 'its a new one. Quite ambitious'

    Seen a few names of Bradshaw and Madden, can't see it being Bradshaw as he signed a new contract in May/June but money talks...

    Well it was reported in the Sun this morning that we were after one "off the radar". Very encouraging.

    A Barnsley fan on Twitter claims to know who he is and won't tell. Apparently, 'he has goals in him'

    Or Matt Smith (Fulham) had brief spell under LJ @ Oldham.

    Or as reported earlier 40y/o GK Jussi Jasskalinen

    We do seem to be going trough the top scorers list in our league with Forte, Andy Williams and Ian Henderson. Paddy Madden and Bradshaw are the only other two on that list that would be realistic in some respect

    Mmm, our ambitious signings since Vaz Te haven't really come off. I'd rather be signing ambitious players, like we have been doing.

    It depends what the circumstances are. The likes of Treacy and Lita last season were good players who are at the wrong end of their careers, and have lost their way a little bit. I can't even begin to guess who the ambitious signing is, but if it was Adam Le Fondre as someone has suggested, (I don't think for one second that it is), then this is a striker who has hit a bit of bad form at Cardiff, but scored very frequently at Bolton on loan last season and has a phenomenal scoring record at every club he's pitched up at. The circumstances need to be right.

    Vaz Te wasn't really an ambitious signing. He'd just left Hibernian, after scoring one goal in ten league games, and came in on trial.

    It's to be hoped he hasn't got 'goals in him'. Isn't his job to stop them happening?

    All complete guesses and perhaps may not be obvious 'ambitious signings' but a guess never the less.
