Signed. Striker who was released by Barnsley this summer, who had paid a fee for him from Halifax a couple of years back. Great signing for the Conference North imo.

Just like Deane Smalley, this is a fantastic addition. Any issues about our strikers have now been resolved just in time, with Tuton, Smalley and Dudley all very good players whilst having experience in and around this level. This must be pretty much our final signing of the Summer, and I am really pleased with how our squad has turned out. Welcome to Chester FC Shaun! 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️

It does make you wonder why Barnsley paid a fee for him after 11 goals in 30+ games.

I hope they turn up to be decent signings but let's wait and see before calling them fantastic and Halifax' s forum suggests Tuton (1 goal in 36 games) is not fantastic'. I can't knock your enthusiasm though.

I can't knock your enthusiasm though. At Halifax he scored 10 goals in 34 games which isn’t disastrous so Barnsley obviously spotted something in him to sign him for a fee. It’s fair to say that his career hasn’t really took off just yet so hopefully he can be a hit in the blue and white.

In my opinion, if we’d have had The Dynamic Duo in charge with this part time squad last season we’d have finished 14th - 17th in The Vanarama Conference! Debate!

I think for a club like Barnsley to have taken a punt on him shows he has something about him. Clubs very rarely get it totally and completely wrong about a player, so I'm sure we've got ourselves something to work with here.
Can't help but feel this might be a gift from Mr Murphy to the managers. To have pretty much spent the budget yesterday, yet still sign Smalley and Tuton today suggests a helping hand along the way.

I can't knock your enthusiasm though. Would usually agree with this but wouldn’t pay too much attention to Halifax fans as they’re bitter as to how he left. Barnsley clearly saw something in him from his performances in the Conference so can’t be too bad as a back up in the Conference North.

I forecast this lad will be our best striker - he is at a different level

This guy has it in him to smash this division, him and Dudley make a real good pair. Cracking signing as the squad is shaping up nicely.

I'll put Dudley down as our star striker.....based on nothing but pure guesswork.

Did you go today ? Which part of the stadium did you stand or sit in? What did you think about his performance ?

Thought he was very good. Some great runs with the ball, held the ball up well and will get fitter. Nearly set up the winner for Dudley in the second half.
Good signing.

Well I had it in my head he was just a big number 9 finisher when he signed but you can see what Barnsley saw in him. He's got so much more in him than finishing. Some of his skill on the ball, quick footwork to beat a man, bringing others into the game, has been exceptional. Be great if we can keep him for the season.

No you haven't, the club haven't announced the contract length so may only be here on a short-term deal unless we can get more youngsters out on loan.

Isn't he on non-contract terms along with Deane Smalley?

Isn't he on non-contract terms along with Deane Smalley? Nothing announced but considering we had next to no budget left then signed Smalley and Tuton in the same day, you'd have to assume there is a compromise. Probably in the way of a short term deal.

And if we continue to exceed the budget of 1700 fans there will be some room in the budget to sign them. Expect a decent crowd for our next home game - especially if we get a result on Saturday 😆
