Do we even need another midfielder? Assuming we play a back 4 and 2 wide men with 1 striker being supported by Flores ( in the advanced Watson role) that leaves 2 midfield places available. We already have Lewis, Sowerby, McWilliams, Pollock and Cross fighting for 2 places and I'm not including Hoskins as a midfielder.
I think we have a greater need for new signings in defense and a quality striker.
Why would signing a midfielder mean that they couldn’t still sign more defenders or another forward? There’s still 5 registration places in the squad as far as I know (think GPC did a post about this somewhere). 6 spots if/when Harry Smith leaves. Players under the age of 20 (or is it 21?) don't count towards the registration rules so we could also increase numbers that way. |

Re Smith;
1. We were more than happy to let him go out on loan last season when we needed all hands to the pump.
2. From his point of view and his background (Millwall, Kent and so forth) it looks a good move, the best he could hope for.

Best for both parties, it didn't work out for Smith here at all.
Wish him well.

Goalkeeping coach Dan Watson has also left the club to pursue another opportunity elsewhere. James Alger comes (back) in to replace him.

No, it's reported he's going to Cheltenham Town. |

O'Coole, read my post again. Did I say that by signing another midfielder that we could not sign another striker and some defenders? No.
We only have 4 defenders excluding Dyche. If Dyche is not considered to be ready for a first team place yet then we need cover in all 4 positions plus a striker which fills 5 of our signing options.

Seems we’ve had a loan rejected for posh midfielder Ryan Broom
Posh only interested in selling according to the chron
He’d be a decent permanent signing but getting him on loan would offer us nothing in the long term. If we can’t afford him let’s try to sign players we can. |

It was implied by saying there was "greater need" for the other positions. Of course we need new defenders too, and they will be announced in the coming week or two. Almost certain that we will sign a new left back, right back, and at least one (but possibly two) new centre back. Probably at least one more midfielder and another striker now Smith has departed. Deals can take a while to complete, no need to fret! |

Absolutely, that’s what I say whenever we let anyone go. |

Surely 'undisclosed fee' will be put towards increasing offer for lad from Boreham Wood? |

What’s the story with this guy from Boreham Wood - he seems to have been up near the top of the scoring charts in the Conference for the last couple of years but it doesn’t seem like any “bigger” clubs (like unfortunately P**h) have come in for him? |
