Would take DNG in a flash. Big strong fast and committed
And rubbish. Desperate times though....
Except not really. Scored 4 goals in 7 games for us and played well. He gets booed at Millwall and clearly benefits from having some support behind him. He likes Powell and I think he brings out the best in him, as he does with Yann. I'd be happy to see Dany back
Think Church could be a decent option. He has shown potential and that he can score goals at this level, but has never really been given extended runs as a starter. 22 caps for wales at the age of 24 is not to be sniffed at. At that age as well he is till learning his trade. Certainly no Messi but an adequate Championship striker.
DNG I have seen enough of to know he is awful and our youth would be better. Church I have not seen enough of but suspect the same. Beggars can't be choosers and all that but either would be somewhat depressing.
Depressing is exactly the word. We are considering Church, whose career has vaporised, wasn't much cop even in his 'prime', and by Powell's own admission is miles off match fitness with the season kicking off in four days' time! Jesus Christ. By all accounts his performance at Ebbsfleet was quite pitiful. Sorry to bang on about it, but compare and contrast with Coulibaly, who was dynamite and fire personified. Surely, surely we can do better than Church and N'Guessen....
I must be the only person who thought DNG wasnt that bad a player. He was strong, quite quick and got some goals for us in a short period of time admittedly at league one level. Ok no he's not the best player in the world but I wouldn't be overly upset if he did sign if on a free. We could certainly do a lot worse. Church I know nothing about so can't comment. Would rather we brought in obika or other more prolific strikers but that ain't gonna happen with no cash. If we had any money we'd have brought someone in by now

For the record I don't think obika is prolific but I see potential. DNG is not the answer but not a bad squad player and powell got something out of him no other manager has and that's goals which could have been because he was enjoying playing for us.

Without looking it up, I honestly don't recall DNG scoring other than the fluke from the left wing. Did he really score four in seven for us? And has Madz, above, had second thoughts about Obika being "prolific"? Apart from those few goals for us, he hasn't scored at first-team level.

It wasn't second thoughts I just reread what I wrote which made it sound like I thought obika was prolific which I don't. I meant I'd rather we signed obika who I see potential in rather than DNG or we sign a prolific striker which we can't afford.
If any of you think N'Guessan was shit, you must have short memories. Clarke, Mooney, Varney, McLeod - now THEY were shit. DNG wasn't all that bad - and I'd certainly take him if he was available for free. Wouldn't pay anything for him though, and I suspect that would scupper anything as the spanners will want a fee for him.
Think Church could be a decent option. He has shown potential and that he can score goals at this level, but has never really been given extended runs as a starter. 22 caps for wales at the age of 24 is not to be sniffed at. At that age as well he is till learning his trade. Certainly no Messi but an adequate Championship striker.

Or lives in the home counties and has a couple of Welsh grandparents to be precise...
Not sure what people are basing this "DNG is shit". Is it just because Millwall don't rate him ? When he was with us he did pretty well in my opinion and that's what I base my thought of Danny returning not what some knuckle dragging plum in Bermondsey thinks.

Looking back, we should have released Leon Cort or not signed Richard Wood, not re-signed Evina (using Fox as back up) and used the saving to resign one / some of the strikers we have released. CP cant help the fact that he has been given no backing, but the structure of the squad and lopsidedness is down to how we have gone about things.

The only reference I have seen about N'Guessen joining us is on everyone's favourite website Football Rumours.
Has anyone got another source?

If he came in, we would still need Obika and one other to compliment Yann.
