Can we stop this McKirdy bollox he is shite10

Sorry to be a killjoy, but who thinks Ghana will still be in the World Cup up to the final, so will he be away for a long time?2

I’m not sure how much interest there’d be in McKirdy on here if he’d been playing for say Northampton last season.
Real danger of him being another one season wonder IMO. Scored lots of goals in League Two last season but what else does he bring to the table that makes people think he’ll carry that form over to this season?2 -

Agreed. Couldn't care less if we signed him or not tbh. Seems like he'd be a squad player at most.0 -
It's true what you say but the counter argument would presumably be that it was Garner specifically who got that super season out of him and using the same system, so playing the same system under the same manager (with theoretically better players around him) COULD mean he replicates the same kind of form.Callumcafc said:I’m not sure how much interest there’d be in McKirdy on here if he’d been playing for say Northampton last season.

It would be a gamble not a given thing for sure but honestly the chances are there is no proven 100% guaranteed success among our options.0 -

Transfers are always a gamble you never know how things will work out do you. Imo our 2 best signings lately have been CBT & Dobson, neither of them came to us with glowing references did they. I would argue that the ones that did arrive being hailed by most turned out flops8

People are worrying about nothing really.ross1 said:Sorry to be a killjoy, but who thinks Ghana will still be in the World Cup up to the final, so will he be away for a long time?
World cup starts on 22 November, i think players have to go 1 week before. Ghana are in a group with Portugal and Uruguay so will likely be knocked out and Wollacott will be home by the first weekend in December.
In that time we only play 2 league games (Port Vale away on 19 Nov and Cheltenham home on 3 Dec). The week in between is the 2nd round of the FA Cup.16 -
Yes he has also been great but he was doing ok before he came to us wasnt he. Dobbo was a failure at Sunderland (on the train after our game with them their fans couldn't believe it was the same player they had) and CBT was setting the world alight at TranmereCafc43v3r said:

Hoskins from Northampton wouldn’t be a bad shout. 3 already this season and scored a fair few last0

You won't find a lower League striker that regularly gets 20 goals a season, because they wouldn't be a lower League striker.addick1956 said:
When I see stats like this which seems quite often, it seems most strikers are called that because they are on strike.Covered_End_Lad said:
Billy Sharpe is the only player that has scored 20, or more, League 1 goals twice in the last decade.17 -
New signing incoming?
This fella can definitely make a splash!

Even more reason not to sign Stockton 😉
Reckon Clarke-Harris is in with a shout of doing it if he isn't sold tbh or is that stat for consecutive seasons?0 -

Billy has done it twice in consecutive seasons. For Scunthorpe and Sheffield United. Did it twice under that no nothing good for nothing Adkins as well.....
But the first 2 were over a decade ago. Clarke-Harris is within a shout.

True, but what it shows is teams aren’t usually able to go a buy a “proven” 20 goal a season striker, so neither should we be expected to.Cafc43v3r said:

It's rare air, even the one that did it we were linked to no one wanted.2 -
Go back a little further and a certain Nicky Ajose would find his way onto that list. Don't recall him getting quite as many in League One for us the next season..Cafc43v3r said:

What all these stats prove is that how a player fits our system is far more important than what they have done in the past.We’re clearly waiting for the right person to be available which is the right call for me.11

So Garner flatly denies the size of the budget that Sandgaard claims he has.

Garner on our budget - describes it as competitive but nowhere near the top 2 or 3.

So Garner flatly denies the size of the budget that Sandgaard claims he has.
One of them can't be telling the truth.I’ve got a budget that I’ve been asked to work towards this season and it’s a healthy budget,” explained Garner.
“It’s a competitive budget in this division. But it’s certainly not near what I would say were the top two or three teams in this division, budget-wise. It’s nowhere near that. But it’s competitive and we want to perform as best we can with the budget we’ve got.

How do other managers and owners know which budgets other club have?
Is it just an educated guess or will they know based on agents etc?2 -
