' Transfer Speculation Thread '

Lewis Cox has confirmed IJ will be the only attacking signing of the day. 

For me, we are massively short in attack.

Strange. Was expecting him to come in as left back. Competing with Grant and MJ for left wing, unless we fancy him as an inverted right winger to replace Fellows.

Could, perversely, be good news though, as it may mean that Maja, Dike and Bany are all close to being back in the reckoning. If they are, and can stay that way (big if I know) then we are far stronger than we currently look.

I have been expecting a right-sided signing to replace Fellows and can't see the point to having 3 players competing for the left wing position so, if Iling Jr is the only attack-minded player we sign, maybe he or Mikey will be expected to play on the right, or there might be a player coming in that Cox doesn't know about.

I know it's not a great guide but Illing Junior's Wiki says he can play LB,LW,RW or CM! So could well be that we see him as adding variety to the wing positions and we may see him and MJ / Grant swapping over during games. Something I think we've lacked for some time.

Thomas did it Saturday and caused us problems.
