Would be a cracking signing, wages could be a stumbling block though.

Some more Will Boyles (albeit able to play in different positions) would be good.

Go get him Gary!

He really worked hard for the team when here last time. Got the work rate and fitness Gary demands.

Jimmy Spencer, Dan Holman and Danny Wright would give some good options but he did break his ankle and dislocate it before Christmas.

Didn't he do his cruciate whilst at Notts as well? Those are some nasty injuries.

That being said, if he's still anything like he was when here last, I'd love him back at Cheltenham.

Hope to see Jimmy Sign.

His direct play and aggression will open up space for Holman to prey in.

Holman has started looking sharp but generally has to beat two or three players himself to make space for a shot. Get Jimmy to take a few out using pace and power, with Billy stretching them as well and Holman will get 20+ goals.

End the long central balls and slow play outside the D. Ping it down the channels. Billy one side, Jimmy the other. Holman and a rampaging Pell in the box.

Am I the only one who wasn't so impressed with Spencer when he was here? Just think we can do better, that's all.

Really rated Jimmy Spencer, his first touch was always amazing, could pluck a goal kick out the sky with a deft touch which always bought him a bit of time.

Bit injury prone for my liking. Also is he a true goalscorer or one of the "workhorse" strikers that puts a shift in so someone else can bang them all in?

Who cares as long as someone bangs them in. That's what we need.

He was playing at the end of the season so if he is over his injury I would love to see him back.

I think Jimmy would do well for you, he didn't score many for us, but we were using him more as a target man. As for Ryan Donaldson I think he'd do better moving to the National League. He struggled to make any sort of impact at all last season (and the one before at Cambridge).

Agree with this, averages a goal every 5 and a bit games. He was okay but no more.

Out of the players suggested by fans, i'd say only a handful of these would be realistic signings.

There a few there I wouldn't touch either for example Craig Disley too old and not good enough.

Jake Charles released by Barnsley on the radar I reckon, forward or winger.

Mansfield are going for it this year, Evans brought in to get them up into league one. I can see them in the top seven this time around or Evans sacked.

Another signing for Mansfield. Paul Anderson from Northampton. That's a cracking signing.

Right back Mark Little has been released by Bristol City. Doubt he'd drop down to this level but maybe Lee could put in a good word.

.so let's not get carried away with pie in the sky thinking.

Grimsby have signed Mitchell Rose who I thought was both Mansfield and Newport best player against us last season, very solid and strong midfielder.

Can't fault him for staying in L1. I hope Gary at least gave him a call to sound him out.
