Accrington turned down a £1.2m bid from Peterborough for him in January. Seem like we went in late for him after hearing that he was now alot cheaper.View attachment 11932
Bolton?
If this happens then why didn't we cut out the middle man in January and just sign him instead of Jake Beesley?
Bishop a good lad. Not a goal machine but more prolific and mobile than the one we already have. Anticipation needs to be there in a centre forward I think rather than doing the link up bit and then not being there for the finish.
Wouldn't shock me at all if it was Beesley. We've seen him trying to crowbar Lavery into another position though and he can't have liked the results so far.I think it will be Beesley, know he's injured but he should be back before the end of the transfer window and can see him going out on loan to a League 1 club towards the end of August. Bishop is a big lad physical lad, so I would think that it would be either Madine or Beesley and Beesley is the obvious choice out of thoes.
Lavery is an odd one. He struggles with link play. He really never clicked with a partner last year either. I'd have thought Appleton would fancy him in the middle and Yates wider but he obviously likes the fact Jerry can really play and thus goes with him central.Wouldn't shock me at all if it was Beesley.

Ah, that would explain it. Yep wouldn't be surprised to see Beesley maybe go the other way.Accrington turned down a £1.2m bid from Peterborough for him in January. Seem like we went in late for him after hearing that he was now alot cheaper.
He hasBishop hasn’t signed yet.
"Lavery's been extinguished, your defence isn't terrified"Lavery is so far out of form it’s untrue.
Wtf has happened to the player that started last season?
Yeh Madine has become a bit of a fan favourite. It’s odd coz he doesn’t exactly to cruyff turns or rabonas, but he is very good in the air and a punt upfield will often be won by him, for players to feed off. Long term I hope Beesley gets a good chance, he had a bit of instinct about him last season. Can’t really coach that.I'd still give Lavery time, personally, don't know what's going on but he was deadly for 5-10 games early season and I can't give up on him.
It's a tough one because they all potentially offer something, would have to be Beesley I suppose, especially since Bishop has a bit of height. Madine looks fit and motivated to me from the training videos and although I definitely don't want to see him starting as a lone striker he's a handy player to have + experience + team morale.
Some people have very short memories.The Shayne loving is weird, he’s shite

I wouldn't describe Bowler, Lavery or CJ as out and out wingers. They all come inside the majority of the time, and none of them can cross a ball!I think Appleton is looking to emulate Ollie and play a front 3 like Campbell, GTF and Brett. Not out and out wingers but forwards interchanging. Wouldn't be surprised to see CJ and Lavery moved on. Although Bowler is an out and out winger I'd play him as 1 of the 3 for his ability to beat a man. Having him roaming would make it hard for teams to double up on him.
Errr No................He has

EXCLUSIVE: The Colby Bishop transfer saga has taken another twist - Blackpool’s move for the striker is now OFF. A fee and personal terms had been agreed, but The Gazette understands the Seasiders have decided not to pursue the move.
Sort of. He's not a great crosser of the ball at all in my opinion. His best moments have been running and shooting really, and those little pull backs.CJ can cross a ball, but only from the left.
No he hasn’t.He has
