Transfer meeting tomorrow

[Ian Nimmo]

Hanlan is nowhere near similar to Street.

[In the box]

Hanlan and Street are quite similar. Maybe Hanlan is a bit better on the ball and Street is a bit better in the air. I think if you’d have stuck Hanlan in that L2 team he’d have got a fair few goals too.
If you’re big, quick and decent at football in League 2 you’re gonna find it easy as there aren’t many players who tick all those boxes in that division.

It’s the rest of the team bar Molyneux struggling with the step-up that is the issue.

In attack we need another striker because Sharp should be nowhere near this division. Then a left winger who is a similar/ better version of Adelakun, which Grant has never got since for some reason. And an attacking midfielder who can bring some athleticism to the midfield.

I think a better attack would mean we don’t have to be so gung-ho.

. Hanlan is a heavy weight who can run but isn’t slick like Street who’s good in the air , faster behind the defender and can open up defences … oh yeah he scored important goals that won games .. and he’s worth even in L1 over a million £ . Hanlan was a free transfer .

Who’s valuing Street at over a million. No chance.

[Chris Black come back]

2 league goals in 20 league appearances for Lincoln City this season.

Lincoln turned down that already !!

I said Street was better in the air! Street is younger which affects his market value. But both are mobile, hard-working centre forwards of a good physical size. Grant referenced this when BH was signed. Don’t get me wrong I’d rather have Street.

But we saw Street in a good L2 team and we’re seeing Hanlan in a poor L1 team. League 2 defenders are much slower.

As another option, I would get a striker who’s better than Hanlan in the air as we play quite direct and get crosses in. And then get some pace around that.

[Chris Black come back]

Street was very good for us and will likely have a shot at playing higher than League One. However he is now 24 and has a grand total of 8 league goals in 86 League One games. By far his standout performance in his career was his 12 in 24 for us last season in League Two.

[CJK]

Got to factor in that Street has not played many games as the central forward in that Lincoln team.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

Hanlan is a good player, technically a better player than Street if a bit less combative but he's done nothing to show he's not a good player.  Took his goal really well again yesterday too.

Being a free transfer means nothing nowadays. Trent AA went to Real Madrid as a free transfer.

Plymouth paid 1.2m for the lad who scored a hatrick against us yesterday. Plymouth signed him through a get out clause in his contract at PV. If we want quality we have to pay for it. Getting players in on frees hasn’t worked. Invest in a proven striker who can get us goals, and keep us up. My own preference would be to offer a bid for Street, that Lincoln can’t refuse. Might be expensive, but what is the cost of relegation from L1

Not the case. Tolaj was available for free after leaving Aldershot 18 months ago. He went to our L2 promotion rivals Port Vale while we signed Billy Sharp. He wasn’t exactly unheard of either.

I think we just need to be careful if we were to go after Street, as pointed out he was great for us against League 2 defenders but can he have the same impact in League 1?
He's not exactly been prolific for Lincoln though I accept not a regular starter.

I dont believe hes playing as a number 9 at Lincoln

[DonnyBazR0ver]

I just can't see any way, Rob Street would want to come here from Lincoln even if we met Lincolns valuation.

One way that He would come to us is ££££££££.

Its a job

Shame about Connor going back, I was mainly impressed by his contribution. All the rest I’m not too disappointed to see them leave. Hopefully find some improvements in the January window.

[Fal]

In his Blackpool pre match he also mentioned that there are 2 ready to sign on 1st Jan, then 2 not far off aswell but didn’t specify what positions.

Started well but got done twice in two games by big strikers from crosses recently.
