Grimsby now interested in Connell

If the IMps are still interested in Alan Connnell then they have competition from Grimsby Town for his signature. Neil Woods has admitted on Radio Humberside that the striker certainly interests him, whereas he hasn't been mentioned by any Lincoln source for about 2 weeks.

Connell, who has a habit of scoring beyond the IMps, has been linked with City and Cheltenham, but now the Mariners have joined the race to sign the striker.

"We've spoken to Alan but that's as far as it's gone. There's a lot of interest. He's a proven goalscorer and a good footballer," Woods told Radio Humberside.

City have seen virtually all the strikers they've been interested in sign elsewhere, although John O'Flynn is still yet to decide about a move to Sincil Bank.

Very injury prone and looked very poor when he played here last season.
He got 12 in a season once.
Not sure about him myself.
Our new man from Hereford had a better season than him.

Here we go again!
Will we ever get the right man?

I have to agree. If there was one player who scored against us on a regular basis that I'd want us to sign then it'd be Guinan.

Judging by we haven't heard anything about Connell or Constantine for a few weeks, it does make you wonder if we're still interested.

Good Luck, Mr Gorsky

Apparently Grimsby have offered 2 forwards deals, Alan Connell wasnt one of them.

Didn't want him, Not what we want if we are to improve.

Grimsby splashing the cash though, to be fair though they have zero chance of winning that League.

You have to fancy Luton and Crawley plus the likes of York and Mansfield too.
The guy has had so many injuries in his career and it really showed the last time I saw him.
Did Sutton want him do we know?
McCallum got 8 goals in half a season he could well be the answer, who knows?

Here we go again!

I think Sutton's waiting to see what Remy Lauret is like before making a decision on new strikers. Lauret looked half decent on Saturday and if he had enough time to learn English then I think he'd settle in really well.

Good Luck, Mr Gorsky
