So this is the current squad this year im going to find and buy a few realistic transfers myself clearly a new centre back and central midfielder is needed then hughton can do what he wants!
So before buying I decided to look at who to sell and I was in luck because Shaun Pearson, Joe Fryer, Jordan Clark and Oscar Gobern contract are all ending at the end of the season so I confirmed that they will all be leaving after their contract runs out which is next month.
Then I looked at the loanees Crump wasnt wanted at ispwich and his contract was due to expire so we picked him up on a free while Obi was available for 300k so both of them are now permanent additions.
Then by adding myself as manager as I was able to look at realistic targets and give the clubs a realistic value here's who I bought:
Finally one for the future unwanted at Ipswich the lad was on the fence about joining but a pay rise and the chance of 1st team football was too good to refuse!
Should have known! its ok we had 11m (1m left over) spent 500k on transfers and now 2m leaving us with 8.5m to make sure the board dont use the rest im going to hold off putting it all in the club facility upgrades are good but i need players!
Grimsby F.C would Like to thanks Shaun Pearson for this dedication to grimsby town F.C over the years he was instrumental in bringing the club forward and was a fantastic captain over the years.
But with his contract expiring and a poor season last year both parties felt it was time for a change good luck shaun!
So then this is the squad for the upcoming season not bad our back up keepers are shot im going to get rid of henry jones our defence might need strengthing but seems like a good squad Obi is certainly one to look out for
Basically this is our starting line up. Ogo Obi is doing well as predicted Femi Sunday the Ipswich youngster I bought is just killing it and liam wakefield has stepped up to fill pearson's shoes who has been here a while as well now so yea my signings are doing better than hughtons!
Not the best month in terms of league results were in 4th now, hughton got given a new contract but we are in the final of the johnstones paint trophy again hopefully we can win it this time!
A huge difference in the average ratings as we enter january maybe time for one more signing I couldnt find anyone obvious so ill give chris a little money and see what he does
