not my job - is it too much to ask to sign a striker who isn't either an up and coming youth or a has been?Cafc43v3r said:
Get me the list thenDOUCHER said:
it means we need an established proven striker even if that isn't literally what he has said - obvious to everybody and something i agree withCafc43v3r said:
It means the poster is seldom wrong...Henry Irving said:Anyone able to explain what this means?
"Or any other has been or Premiership youngster with no previous game time. We already have Rak -Sakyi (fits the first) and Leaburn (fits the second)."
Proven where? Anyone we sign is going to come with some sort of risk aren't they? It's not like there is some sort of league 1 Haaland we are going to magic out of thin air.
On the basis that I, like 90% of others, probably won't have seen them play more than a couple of times I'll judge them on what they do on the pitch, not if they are established or not.3 -
That’s kind of all options though isn’t it? Once a player proves themselves at this level they don’t stay at this level for long..DOUCHER said:

Everton not likely to let Tom Cannon go out on loan. Again, according to Alan Nixon... but I think he was the source of the rumour in the first place!1

Just have to wait and see what happens by Thursday, sounds potentially positive, but who knows

Sorry, but of a typo.Henry Irving said:Anyone able to explain what this means?
"Or any other has been or Premiership youngster with no previous game time. We already have Rak -Sakyi (fits the first) and Leaburn (fits the second)."
Meant to say - A Premiership youngster (JRS) or a youngster with no previous game time (Leaburn).

Agree with Golfie on has-been. The Prem youngster depends on the individual, but I want a permanent signing, whoever it is. The CB a loan is fine as we have a lot of promise in the ranks.1 -

The 20 goal a season 25 year old league 1 striker literally doesn't exist.
How many current league 1 strikers have ever scored 20 league 1 goals in a season?
Stockton, Pigott, Clark-Harris, Marquis maybe missed one or two but it's not a long list.
Anyone we sign will be a gamble.3 -

Obviously the "club" will be significantly more informed about players than us so I won't ask for a name. But a like is fair enough.
Established like a Taylor that scored 14 for a relegated team, BWP who had never scored more than 8 in a season?
I really don't know what you mean by established and what level you expect them to be established at.1 -

We've made decent signings that match the system we play, the one nagging doubt is whether they are all good enough, or whether we lack that little bit of star quality that most promoted teams have.ElliotCAFC said:That’s about as good a statement as can be. Obviously, it massively leaves the board vulnerable if deadline day ends as a damp squib.Regardless of how the window ends, we’ve had a good window. We’ve got a set play style, we’ve recruited for that. We got the vast majority of our business done before the start to the season, we’re now looking for squad depth, not desperate to fill holes in the system.We might not get promoted, but we’re certainly moving in the the right direction (in terms of recruitment).Fans have zero impact on business. Calm down and enjoy the ride.
Yes I'm all for the club being run sensibly, but ultimately if we don't get promoted, Sandgaard's reign will have to be seen as a failure.2 -

Also, when looking at that list, the 20 goal season was the exception for them, not the rule.
They just aren't there at this level. I think signing a talented but raw youngster on loan is our best bet. It's a gamble no matter what, and I'd rather gamble on a youngster growing into their own this season than a lower league journeyman. I know we have Leaburn, but he looks very raw still, he will still get games out wide, and it allows us to ease him into the first team rather than having him be our only striker if something happens with Stockley.

Anyone we sign will be a gamble.
Obviously the "club" will be significantly more informed about players than us so I won't ask for a name. But a like is fair enough.
Established like a Taylor that scored 14 for a relegated team, BWP who had never scored more than 8 in a season?
I really don't know what you mean by established and what level you expect them to be established at.
What you want doesn't exist. You will be disappointed. I'll judge who we get on how they play.
If we don't get anyone we can both be pissed.0 -
But that's not what anyone is saying!!!DOUCHER said:i have put my hands up to not having an extensive knowledge of current players but anybody who thinks only inexperienced youth or past it players are the only thing available to us because we are in league 1 need to either stop splitting hairs or realise they aren't the experts they think they are
Your taking a gamble who ever you sign. They will either be on the way up, or on the way down. They could be an Ajose they could be a Yann. They could be a Paul Williams, they could be a Stuart Fleetwood.1 -
Cole Stockton only seems to be attracting interest from smaller L1 clubs, which suggests he might actually be affordable1
