Mo Eisa - Striker (Peterborough)
A player we tried to sign this season.
Genuinely a good player but doesn't fit how Ferguson wants to play at Peterborough (not the first time this has happened under Barry Fry). As a result they have transfer listed him.
A perennial sub for the Posh this season, he bagged 14 in 29 in League One last season.
Has pace and an eye for goal.
26 years old so his best could be yet to come.
The only issue is that Peterborough are holding out for a decent fee for him having (incredibly) shelled out £1.2 million for him.

He's on my list. Been looking into him since he was linked with us weeks ago. I like the look of him. Reminds me of Jerry Yates.
Shayne Lavery - Striker (Linfield, but out of contract)
Was at Everton as a youth, but headed back across to Northern Ireland to sign for Linfield in 2019.
Scored 10 in 25 last season, but been on fire this season with 19 in 21 as he won their player of the season award and the league championship.
22 years old and has 7 caps for Northern Ireland.
When you look at videos of him he is eerily similar to Jerry Yates. You obviously have to temper that view with the fact that it's the Northern Irish league.
He was linked with us a few weeks ago and I'm informed that there is genuine interest from us.

With a fee like that his wages might be a burden for them ?

Ballard and big Marv can cover the right CB berth. Gretarrsen (he does need to bulk up a bit) can pick up the left CB berth, but we need cover there if Thorniley does go.
Kyle Edwards - Forward (Free agent)
Released by West Brom. Can play anywhere across the front.
23 years old and capped up to England U20 level.
Technically very sound, he made 26 appearances in the Championship in West Brom's promotion season and 5 appearances in the Premier League last season (didn't get a look in after Allardyce took over).
Luton trued to buy him in January.

Morgan Rogers - Forward (Man City)
Played against us on Sunday having spent the second half of the season on loan at Lincoln where he's played left wing cutting in on his right foot.
Still very green and can disappear in games/try to do it all himself.
Scored 6 in 25 for Lincoln and word is that City have told them they're not getting him back as they want to get him some Championship experience .

Simon Moore - Goalkeeper (Free agent)
31 years old, just released by Sheffield United.
He's 6 foot 3 (Southampton released him as a youth for being too small!) and is capable of playing the sweeper keepers role.
Whenever he's ended up in the Championship or higher, it's been as second choice so you'd think he'd be comfortable with that.
Whenever he's played in League One he's shone; being named in the PFA Team of the Season during Sheffield United's promotion campaign.
Didn't play a single game last season as Sheffield United didn't register him in their 25 man squad.
Very popular figure in the dressing room. I prefer him to my previous recommendation of Archer.

Jordan Cousins - Central midfielder (Free agent)
Those of you wanting more Championship experience should be happy with this one.
Released by Stoke, Cousins has 225 Championship appearances under his belt and is still only 27.
High energy, he'd fit our 'scrapper' role... however, I'd question if he's better than Dougall and Stewart and on that basis whether he'd be happy with a rotation role?

Josh Bowler - Winger (Free agent)
Linked with us a few weeks ago.
22 years old. Released by Everton who signed him from QPR for £1 million+.
Was going to move in January but had a bad hip injury.
Spent a season on loan at Hull in the Championship but didn't pull up any trees.
Feels like a low floor high ceiling player?

Rumoured to have been at a hotel in Lytham yesterday. How did he perform for Rotherham who were relegated? We certainly need 3 keepers capable of stepping into the first team and offering competition

Would we have a chance of getting KDH back on loan?
Like all relegated keepers he will have had plenty of practice. It is no coincidence that Southgate had 2 relegated keepers in his initial squad. I love a tall keeper.
