If he'd done that at the right end, it would rightly have been lauded as a moment of genius. As it was.... it was a moment of genius.
In the race for Nombe but competing with Rotherham, Birmingham and Wrexham according to NTT20 on twitter.
Up against those I’d say we’re in 4th place to sign him then. Still think any striker we bring in will be on loan.
We've signed a striker on loan. 4 goals all last season in division 4, but listed as a striker. https://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=102653&season_id=155
McAtee was fantastic in playoff game wrexham 4 grimsby 5 may 2022. I watched it, he looked class and i wanted us to sign him.
Conference though weren’t it? I’ve nothing against signing non league players, but we’ve signed quite a few this season and expecting them to all to be ready for league one may be too much too soon. Some are going to need time like Dallas for example and this McAtee may be the same. Would prefer us to loan in players with vast league experience that are guaranteed to improve us.
Update from Doug: https://x.com/dougokane88/status/1695357520015958408?s=46&t=Kb0ck_npSQi3S0RtBaavZQ Whether it’s Nombe or not (I would be highly surprised if it was at the prices quoted), we should hopefully at least bring a couple in. Will probably mean that Oli Shaw or Marsh goes out on loan if we do bring a striker in surely?
We’ll sign a couple of loans from the Championship or Prem if we’re lucky on deadline day. We certainly won’t be spending any fees on players
Can only assume we have made a low bid and the story has been leaked to increase price / attract other buyers doubt we will sign him given the above
We will be ok in the striker market as soon as someone fixes Cryne Jr’s spreadsheet. Cell G18 states ‘If C1 > 0’ where C1 is target goals to score. It needs the missing 2 adding before the 0.
