El Delano has spent the budget on quality players. Massanka is probably costing us nothing and will add depth, variety and real pace to our attacking options.

What's not to like about that?

Compare Massanka to last seasons forwards signed pre season...Harrad, Bakare, Powell, Bailey-Nichols, McDonagh, White (and Rutherford who is still with us).

Worried about people saying this is a poor signing. Expectations on here need to be reminded, lets push on but promotion is a long shot, in and around the play offs sure, this guy has pace and given better service he can get you 10 goals with good people teaching him the right stuff. AND he will be cheap as chips wage wise. A good signing all in all

[Rex Ham]

Sure Keates had said somewhere he'd like 4 strikers, so Holroyd, Massanka and Boden (allegedly) leaves space for one more which may or may not be Jimmy Le Trialist.

Holroyd seems to be the workaholic, Massanka will add pace. Not sure what Bodens like, hopefully a goalscorer so could possibly do with a targetman as the fourth option.

Quite happy to have Massanka back anyway

Very true, well said.

Not overly excited by this one. But given the signings so far, I doubt keates plans to use him as our main striker. As has been said, impact player.

Also hearing keates' interview on dragon heart, he said he would never do a deal that would force him to have to play a player in the team if he didn't see fit. I trust Dean to get this right.

Unfortunately we live in such a divided country - politics, religion, Brexit, North and South, immigration, fracking etc. etc. Who would be a manager or a Prime Minister.

I think we're going to have a lot of eggs in the Boden basket (when he signs).

If he loses form we'd have to hope our other attacking options can chip in with enough to keep us going.

If our strike force is:

Boden
Holroyd
Massanka
Trialist

I think we may be light on goals and one injury away from big problems.
