Teams that tend to get out of this league usually spend a bit of coin in the summer or January. The blueprint to follow is signing someone from a League 1 rival, someone who is tried and tested at this level and would add more quality to the squad than is already present.

Brentford signed Tarkowski and Grigg last season.
Wolves signed Clarke.
Rotherham signed Nicky Adams.

Even though we have not invested monetary wise this summer on a player from a promotion rival, we have signed Reid and Jones from teams that will be challenging with us this season.

My question is who from this league would you sign from a promotion rival? I think PNE as a club can rival many in this division for wages, appeal and promotion credentials.

Mine would be Dean Cox from Leyton Orient.
 
Dreaming - Jay Emmanuel-Thomas (Bristol City)

Realistic - Eoin Doyle (Chesterfield)
 
I think Dean Cox would make everyone very happy, or I'd love for us to take Hanson from Bradford. Josh McQuoid is currently only on loan at Coventry from Bournemouth, but I reckon he would be a quality addition too.

We would result in more long ball but Garner would score for fun playing off him week in, week out and he would chip in with 12-15 himself.
 
I'd also say Hanson from Bradford. A realistic target and someone I think could make the step up a level and still be a handful. It'd take the target man responsibility away from Garner allowing him to score more goals from Hanson's knock downs.

I think Grayson should be looking at a big striker like this, maybe we already have that player though in Hugil if he can get fit enough to play 90 minutes week in week out.

We spent £200,000 + on Stuart Beavon two seasons ago.

We are still in the same division.

and before that we spent millions on fee's + wages and got relegated.

but in the spirit of this thread i think someone like Tom Pope would be available for around £300k (or maybe less depending when his contract is up) and lower wages than the majority of players suggested so far would be an excellent signing.
 
Best player against us over past couple of seasons. Still in this division? Most good ones now in Championship, I'd go for an experienced striker...But one young enough to have resale value. Paddy Madden maybe but he sounds a bit of a tool.

Dean cox, tom pope.

I cant see hanson ever signing as hugill was brought in who is simalair and has shown glimpses of quality.

We won't spend big money on any position other than striker. TH was prepared to pay £500k for May.

it is too restrictive to limit the choice to a League 1 striker as Hanson is the only decent / realistic candidate and, as already posted, we won't go for him now that we have Hugill.

I agree - I suggested him a few years back when Vale were league 2 and got told by some on this forum that he was a flash in a pan and a one season wonder and couldn't do it in league 1

apart from at Port Vale he didn't have a great scoring record but about 40odd goals in last 2 seasons plus a few already this season suggests that he has gone from a 1 season wonder to a good L1 striker. like most L1 players i'd guess he's on a 2 year deal and as i don't remember hearing about him signing a new contract during this summer i'd guess there's a very good chance he's out of contract next summer so possibly available for a knock down fee in January, i'd put a £200k bid in to test the water's.
 
You can spend a bloody fortune and get nowhere and you can spend jack shit and get promoted........... A lot depends on how good the Management is.

You can also spend 90k on a striker, turning out to be one of the best strikers in our history, he is now playing in the prem and has played for england, 200k was to much to pay for beavon.
