Steve Jones from Crewe

[Lboro fox]

He is now out of contract at Crewe, he was the only player that looked decent when they played us, i think he could be worth a shout.

Striker Jones will leave Crewe

Jones has spent five years in Crewe Alexandra's colours

Northern Ireland striker Steve Jones is to leave Crewe, following their relegation from the Championship.
The 29-year-old is out of contract this summer and has expressed a desire to move on but boss Dario Gradi will offer him a new deal if he changes his mind.
However, the Alex boss has decided to release seven other players.
Richard Walker, Anthony Tonkin, Justin Cochrane, Adie Moses, Kyle Wilson, Andrew Bond and Alex Morris will not be offered new terms.
Jones has scored 45 league and cup goals in 173 appearances for Crewe since signing from Leigh RMI in 2001. He has won 19 full international caps for Northern Ireland, scoring once.

Depends on whether De Vries comes back or whether Dodds is ready i suppose.

 

[dpjfox]

we have been previously linked with Jones, cant remember where or when though

If it was ony of the LCFC forums you can add it to a list 45,000 players we have been "linked" to and never signed. It does get a tad tedious and boring

do we need another striker?

Yes. I doubt DeVries will back, Hammond has to go - just not good enough, and I can't see us getting promoted if O'Grady is our first reserve

 

[glyn]

Although I'm not saying Steve Jones is the answer
"45 league and cup goals in 173 appearances for Crewe"
"19 full international caps for Northern Ireland, scoring once."

exactly melton everyone always suggests who we think we should sign but i cant remember the club ever going on a posters recommendation-rk has his targets and when we know more we wil talk about them

I'd rather strengthen the midfield and get a decent keeper than start paying money for reserve strikers though.

1 in 4 for crewe isnt that bad!!! Hume got 37 in 176 and he is doing ok!!!

 

[PONTUS KAAMARK]

I think Jones would be a quality littling signing but I think there will be a lot of competition for his signature from other clubs around us in the championship.

Although thinking about it hes very similar to what we have but not as good!!!!

I say go for Neil Shipperly as he always leaves the club that gets promoted!! He would do a job for a season.

Absolutely. but the question asked was "do we need another striker", to which my answer was yes. But the answer would be yes for a lot of teams, doesn't mean it's going to happen!

Fair point.....

Above anyone else we need a ball winning midfielder IMO.

Yes, IMO this is our priority signing.

 

[OldGit]

Preferably one who can do it without getting booked every week

If we only get one player this summer, it has to be a genuine defensive central midfielder.

Weslowski?

I appreciate an experienced player to come in and relieve the lad maybe needed but after seeing him play i don't think we'll get anyone better.
