CHRIS SUTTON admits he would be "stupid" to overlook re-signing last season's loan rangers as he steps up his Lincoln City recruitment drive.

Having made eight signings so far this summer, the Imps boss is still keen to supplement his squad with the League Two opener at Rotherham just a fortnight away.

Sutton confessed that his next signings are likely to come from the loan market and the City chief has already started to explore the Premier League's treasure trove of talent.

But he has not ruled out a return for the likes of Aston Villa duo Chris Herd and Nathan Baker and Fulham's Matthew Saunders after their success last season.

"We still have the option of venturing into the loan market and we would be stupid to overlook those who did so well for us last season," he said.

"We need to improve the side and if we can get people in of the right quality, then we will.

"But it's not as easy as people imagine. I understand where the fans are coming from with regards to signings, but we have to be realistic.

"Overall I'm pleased with the signings we have made. I won't shout from the rooftops, but we've addressed areas that were a problem.

"And if we can sign some of the loan players who did so well for us last season, then that would be great."

    “Well on my opinion we should definately sign a good goal scoring attacker with 20+ goals this will be hard for us imps to get someone who is that good to come to a league 2 side and yes delroy is looking a bit unfit!”

    “I agree with Kevin. I thought Keltie was excellent today. In fact I was impressed with the performance. They seemed comfortable on the ball and not short of ideas.”

    “Keltie ran the show today- always involved, always wanting the ball. Played simple short balls and accurate with long balls when he saw te opening. Very impressed and a huge improvement on last season. Should be captain.”

    “Ged - Akinfenwa is a great great player, who should be League One or Championship. However, if he plays more than half the season for you your doing well - he is always injured.
    So for that reason, Im out.

    As for those 3, if we can get then of course we should. So what if it means Keltie and others have to sit on the bench.”
