After seeing some post that we won't get promoted or even top 6 as we haven't signed a proven 20+ goalscorer, thought I'd take a look at the last few League 1 seasons to see how many players have scored 20 or more, and where that club finished.
What's really intresting, in terms of the conversations on here, is none of them have scored 20 goals a season in back to back seasons apart from Billy Sharp. And let's be honest he was only playing in league 1 because if was for Sheffield United.
So as I said yesterday, who is a proven 20 goal a season league one striker?
Mate, there’s a big list of them above 😂
That's exactly my point though. No one does it enough to be "proven".
Surprised Boreham Wood stood in the young player's way from joining us in the first place
Reading between the lines from both Boreham Wood statements we offered less than their value and walked away instead of negotiating the price, maybe they felt we were taking the piss a bit or vice versa

I suppose I'm biased but I thought their statement sounded like they were a bunch of twats
If he does well next few months there may well be a few clubs in for him. If he doesn't then we won't look back so BW may be able to drive up the price with a bidding war. Good luck to them.

Think I agree. Not sure about this: "we hope all parties are happy, as everyone needs to accept that our little club also has it’s own dreams and ambitions and just like Sorba, we also dream about playing in the EFL one day."

I'd be annoyed reading that if I was the player
Yep. Also this: "I’ve asked my Chief Exec Charlie Hunter to write up our heads of terms for any interested clubs, and in this climate that will include a sensible staged payment arrangement, to help the player fulfil his EFL aspirations but it will also include a wide range of add on’s."

Just odd to put that in a statement.
I'd guess a lot of that is for the benefit of their supporters, sort of things we might be wondering in their position
Was number 9 meant to be for Rocket Ronnie Schwartz, I wonder?
Perhaps there's a sign on the dressing room door: "Vacancy. Please apply within".
I wonder if there's any budget left for a free agent...
That's exactly what I was implying.
Yes said this previously, hopefully there's a decent striker out there who was hoping for a championship move at the last moment who would now accept a wage cap salary in league 1 until the end of the season.

So he folds under pressure?
Nile Ranger, who has been released by:
The last chance Saloon FC.
If anyone has anyone I have missed/incorrectly added, let me know and I'll update.
Just checked and he signed for a Sunday League team in Barnet a few days ago.
Still under 30: no dedication; no career.
