Yeah we hear this every year with strikers and it’s really frustrating to hear, I think for all Hursts skills, picking out top strikers isn’t one of them IMO. We can point to Bogle and Amond but they’re two examples of what must be 30+ attempts at getting a proper 20 goal forward in. I know it’s not easy, but we do seem to struggle more than most.
Yeah, we got away with it last year really by only having McAtee and Taylor as first choice options. Manny and Abrahams came in and did very good jobs off the bench but we were threadbare in that department for a lot of the season for a side that got promoted. With all the extra income from 5,000 season ticket sales, queues around the block for the new shirt, getting promoted...not to mention JS and AP projected a loss this season...we should be going all out for a proper #9. Like you say, we get it's not easy but starting a second season without addressing this is inexcusable really.

Pete Wild said after our game today that Canavan is going nowhere - so Poolies can forget that one.
Maybe the Chairman (you know the one who makes decisions) has not told him.

Anthony Hartigan seems to be a name that we're getting heavily linked with. Don't know anything about him really. Anyone?

25 minute pre-season interview with Paul Hurst yesterday on Radio Humberside. Says we're looking at bringing in 6 or 7 more. Also says we need to be realistic about McAtee, so I think we'll need to brace ourselves to be losing him at some point in the next year.

Hurst seems in very good spirits though, very happy with the shape we're in. Seems relaxed and mentioned a few times how this is the most amount of players he's ever retained as a manager. Says Erico Sousa was close to getting a deal but ultimately it sounded like he thought he wasn't quite ready for L2.

We've got one player that is close to signing and another couple that could be done by Friday but could also quite easily not see any sign.

Worryingly, we're hearing the same lines we did last season about there being no strikers available in our price range.
Ask Pete Wild, Hes good at that stuff.

Okay that's obviously bollocks having looked at his stats. He's left Wimbledon to stay in L1 or go up to the Championship.

The itk fan on one of the Rovers forums says we’re interested in a wide player who impressed against us last season and is still under contract. Don’t know if they’re referring to Patrick, the home game was so overshadowed by the referee that can’t recall who played well for the Cumbrians. However Rovers are lacking pace further forward so if it were to be him, would be very welcome for that aspect of his gane.
So your "itk" poster didn't specifically say Patrick? Seems like your fans putting two and two together.

Canavan played his second friendly of the week for us yesterday - can't see him being close to joining Hartlepool as it stands.

It is Patrick. Thats not to say Carlisle accepted our bid, or Patrick himself told us to do one, but we definitely have interest.

No problem, here’s hoping it’s duff info!
trying to think of the options..
1) your best player is leaving to go to Bradford - or even worse Barrow.
2) you're resigning a universally hated ex player.
3) Hartley has been sacked already.
4) Raj is selling the ground (if you own it) to developers
5) Raj is selling the club to someone like Smurthwaite or the guy who is just selling Oldham....

Can't mate,if it got out he'll have my guts for garters.
But if it comes off,we'd be pretty livid
So is it Sterry or Ferguson leaving, There you go.
Simple PM would do, Even chips is waiting.

our best player is beyond Lge2 level, And worth a lot of Dosh.
The ground can only be used as is.
