Turner tells of deadline deals
Graham Turner has been telling local press that he is pleased to have added more strikers to the squad.
"Even on Wednesday morning we were still very much in the dark about who might come in," he said. "We had got a number of players who were considering it.
"We had got a number of clubs who were thinking about allowing players to come to us but it was the same old story if we signed one then you can have so and so and it was a difficult period where a lot of work was going on and nothing was happening and then fortunately well in time it all came to fruition with a couple of players coming in."
Talking of his signing of Karl Hawley from Walsall, Turner continued: "I tried to sign him about a fortnight ago but Walsall refused but to my surprise on Wednesday morning they phoned to say he was now available and he was there for us. So we moved quickly and signed Karl. So that is two strikers coming in; both joined in training on Thursday morning and both look OK."
Turner also explained why he wanted to have a third keeper on the books."I am always a bit wary going into the end of the season, past the transfer deadline with only two registered keepers. So Mark Gayle comes along having signed for us from Solihull. The agreement is that he will continue to play for Solihull but if we need him for the first team he will come and play for us."
Perhaps the addition of Jordan Lambert is the more unusual signing. He has been given a free transfer by Derby County and was on trial at Chesterfield.
"Basically he turned up on the car park asking if he could join in. Obviously he has got a bit of a pedigree and having trained with us for a couple of weeks and played in a training match at Bath University I registered him. I can't see him playing too much apart from a disaster with injuries.
"We have got adequate cover in most places now."
