One of my top 5 Charlton players is ol’ Steve McKenziemasicat said:I remember Malcolm Alison at Man City wanted to sign Steve McKenzie from Palace. He offered 50k and Palace rejected it and decided to hold out for 100k. Malcolm Alison then came back with a revised offer of 250k. He went on to play 100 games for Charlton as well.0 -

Don’t think TS makes that decision about Davison .. Garner would have spoken to SG and between them would decide if they want to go with Davison or not .. People forget that Davison was a big part of swindon success last year and Garner might just like him … and it’s Garner that’s told TS to hold off buying another striker at present ..lSmithy said:A reminder that TS made very similar comments last summer, saying that we didn’t need another striker because Davison was good enough. He was being serious - we didn’t sign a striker.
Sincerely hope it’s all just mind games as we desperately need another striker, but I wouldn’t be massively surprised if we get no one.3 -

Stockley is dreadful with the ball on the floor.SoundAsa£ said:
I think you’re doing Stockley an injustice there…..he’s pretty good with link up play and with the ball on the floor, better than the majority of ‘up top’ League 1 strikers I’d say.sam3110 said:
But we need better than Stockley to lead the line. He's too one dimensional, our first choice striker needs to be better on the floor and with his feet than Jayden is nowGarrymanilow said:
People won't be happy until we have 5 first team level strikers better than what we currently have to compete for one spot. If you're playing one up front you need one striker. You need a backup for that striker for injuries or poor form. You then need another striker so that you still have a bit of depth of the bench to cover those injuries and losses of form. After that it's good to have another backup, which will always be a youth player because no-one is coming in to be 4th choice in a one striker team. Stockley is a good first choice. Aneke is the best sub you can have at this level. He'll get injured, which is why we should upgrade on Davison, but we should not pay well above the odds for a third choice. After that of course Leaburn is our fourth choice, it doesn't matter that he hasn't played a league game, he has to start somewhere and we need a pathway for young players. Sandgaard is in no rush because we're looking for the best possible backup striker and we're not going to spaff huge amounts of the budget on bringing in a player who we don't actually need every week.golfaddick said:

One hasn't played a league game in his life
One we loaned out to a lower league club & although did ok hardly set the house on fire
One has a history of not being able to play 90 mins
One had a back injury last season & only played 30 odd games.4 -
I can see it now.
Ben do you want this great center forward, willing to stump up the cash, although it is a pretty penny.
Nah its alright boss I'll make do with what I have got because an 18 year old kid scored against Dartford youth team and Davison was OK in league 2, but thanks for asking.9 -

Its not even a case of Chucks getting injured, he simply cannot put a run together of playing 90 minute games.Croydon said:

Aside from last season's injury, does Stockley have a bad injury history? I thought not.Croydon said:

What level of striker do you realistically expect to bring in to play as 3rd choice for 1 spot in the team?2 -
3rd choice? The way I see it with the tactical options now available with 5 subs, Chucks will inevitably be our last 30min impact sub so we need someone at least of Stockley’s level, preferably better, to cater for the predictable injury/suspension. I really hope Miles can become a legend but he’s not ready now and probably not even ready by next April. I would hate for us to set back his career by a couple of years by overplaying him. Those comments by TS have moved me from mildly concerned to worried as far as striking optionsbalham red said:

Shame, was looking forward to Egbo having a full pre-season before being used in a tailor made position for him.
Felt a bit like the Bowyer days. Playing a player out of position and then see him injured.1 -

Five goal involvements in 105 minutes of men's football for Miles Leaburn. Who said we need another striker???1

Shows how weak we are in that area of the pitch now. Imagine if one of Sessegnon or Clare got injured for a similar time frame.
Also, does Clare even really want to play right back?0
