Might be doing the lad an injustice here, but do we really need a striker who didn't score at all last season?

Everybody has off season's. And not every club fits everybodys style of play. Didn't get many starts last season by the sounds of it too. Judging by his record at other clubs there is defo a player there. And one that has goals him in too.

I'd rather have him than Pitman who has only started 2 games in 3 seasons.

Pitman played 11 times last season for wycombe according to wiki. I would take a chance on pitman and Grimes.

Quoted from Lanchashire Telegraph | Posted: 11th July 2014
Bury midfielder Ashley Grimes has been linked with a move to the U’s, but Appleton said: “I’m aware of him and know he’s a decent player, but as of yet I’ve not had a discussion with anyone about him.”

9 of them were from the bench though.

Oh I see. Still think he is worth a chance if he can prove his fitness. Reckon he would be a quality player in this league.

For what it's worth, fixed his wikipedia.

I am getting an impression that Hurst feels that Disley alone cannot rule midfield and wants some strength and extra pace around Disley to take pressure off him and prevent injuries.
I am also thinking that if Grimes is a new target, then he could perhaps be a better bet than Clay, and Ironside may come in as a support player with a hope of further development.
If Pittman will stay for the Mansfield game and make a showing, then that could again be the more expensive striker contract.
Could the thought be to settle for 5 or 6 players all achieving 10 to 15 goals each, rather than the sole 20 goals + striker we thought would be a target??
Has anyone any news of potential new trialists tomorrow night??

Grimes isn't a central midfielder, he's a striker. Looking at his record (bar last season) he'd be a very good signing.
