Been mentioned by a view people as a potential signing, is he what we need, is he a one season wonder, and is he better than what we’ve got?

If Stockley and Aneke are fit, no. If not, then yes. We don't know who the strikers not currently under contract will be, so unless Kanu is ready for next year then we need an inside forward (like Nelson/Washington) IMO. I would hope that our next big centre forwards will be Gavin and Leaburn...spend the money elsewhere.0

Morecambe!
He scored another blinder yesterday.
Yes he's what we need and yes he's what every L1 team needs.8 -
I did wonder if Conor Washington was on his bike, as I think his contract is up in the summer, I would have thought he would have signed a new contract by now if he was staying.
I don’t know if Stockton would compliment who we’ve got already, so yes he’s a goal scorer, but could he play alongside Stockley?1 -
Having a Stockley and a Stockton playing alongside each other would be too confusingMendonca In Asdas said:I did wonder if Conor Washington was on his bike, as I think his contract is up in the summer, I would have thought he would have signed a new contract by now if he was staying.

The issue here is for me I wouldn’t want to play Stockton and Stockley in the same side consistently for 90 minutes. So unless someone comes in for Stockley, the price and wages that Stockton would likely command now, I feel would be better spent elsewhere.Probably on another quality quick skilful striker to push/replace Washington. Let Aneke be 4th choice/rotation with Stockley - which we are already basically paying him a lot to do I expect, as he does not have the fitness to fit into any other role.0

How tall is he?1

Stockton isn't just a big lump up front, as Quest showed in this clip, he's scored some brilliant individual goals this season

39 goals in 109 games for Morecombe, is he this seasons Paul Mullens?1

That technique and finish for the 2nd goal in particular is top class.killerandflash said:Stockton isn't just a big lump up front, as Quest showed in this clip, he's scored some brilliant individual goals this seasonHowever I don’t see anything here that shows him not to be a ‘big lump up front’. I put that in quotation marks, because it’s clearly obvious he is not, and he has much more technique then someone labelled like that. However if he is not the sort of player who is running the channels, pulling defenders out of position, or able to push them back because of his pace - then he’s going to be to similar to Stockley.
If we had an unlimited budget, and knew that both players would be happy being rotated or playing second fiddle then of course he would be worth the punt after the season he has had. Sadly it’s never that simple.0 -
Just hope he doesnt become the next Nicky Ajose or Paul Benson.
I'll never mind if we bring in a goalscorer with a decent record, provided we've scouted them properly and think, yup he'll help improve us - Instead of taking a very narrow minded view of, well his stats look good, he could do that here too1 -

The centre forwards I think are attainable and would improve us next season can be picked from
Number 9s
Stockton - Morecombe
Rudoni - AFC Wimbledon
Mandron - Crewe
Oliver - Gillingham
Bishop - Accrington Stanley
10/8's
Matt Stevens - FGR
Harry Smith - Leyton Orient
Alfie May - Cheltenham
Paddy Madden - Fleetwood

Alfie May is a local lad I believe. My brother used to play cricket with him at farningham3

I think Rudoni is more of an attacking midfielder/winger than a striker, good player but not sure if he fits our formation, Assall also from Wimbledon another good one to look at but again plays out wide more than through the middle. Would take Stockton or Stevens as the best from those but wouldn't mind May and Bishop as I'd imagine we will be behind a few others in the pecking order.Carter said:The centre forwards I think are attainable and would improve us next season can be picked from

Malik Wilks is out of contract, if Hull don't offer him a new one we should be going all out for him. Was quality in league 1 for Doncaster and Hull. Have seen him linked with Peterborough as they are managed by Grant McCann so I think we would have to really put some money in front of him for it to happen. Also Tom Eaves is out of contract if we wanted someone more in the Stockley mould1 -
This is a good rundown of strikers we could/should be looking at, but Christ, it makes me sad that this is our shopping list.Carter said:The centre forwards I think are attainable and would improve us next season can be picked from

To similar to Stockley for me.
If we lose Washington we need another player like him, you can't play Stockley and Stockton together, it just won't work2 -
Although he's a big lad, he still has fantastic feet, can bang a goal from distance and would be a great signing.paulie8290 said:To similar to Stockley for me.

Agree that we do still need pace up top. Stockley, Aneke, Stockton + another for me.0 -
Ok say we spend money on Stockton.J BLOCK said:

We are not starting with stockley and Stockton as you sat we need pace up front.
So we are even spending money on Stockton to come in and sit on the bench or Stockley will be on the bench and be unhappy as he is to good to just sit on our bench.
I just think there are other areas we need to spend money as a priority2 -

Macauley Bonne is likely to be available on loan. I'm not a fan but know many are. Highly unlikely that he's going to be playing Championship football next season.

There's the risk that he's a one season wonder, but Dom Telford (Newport) is another one who stands out. 24 league goals for Newport this season, and out of contract in the summer. I imagine there will be a lot of competition for him thoughCarter said:The centre forwards I think are attainable and would improve us next season can be picked from

Focus the money on getting a better midfield, and then Stockley will bang in the goals as we know he can.Off the back of a disappointing season for the team it can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking that everything needs resetting. However, in Stockley I genuinely believe we have one of the best strikers in League One.1

I'd be surprised. He's not been a regular starter since January.North Lower Neil said:

12 goals in 39 for the season is not a great return. Stockley has 11 in 29.1 -
Stockton isn't the answer.
We need a technical striker to link the midfield, wingers and Stockley.
Washington tries but isn't good enough to be that.
We need a Kermorgant-esque link player.1 -
I think your right, midfielder doesn’t create enough chances / score enough goals, still think we need another decent striker up top, if we want to progress.cafctom said:Focus the money on getting a better midfield, and then Stockley will bang in the goals as we know he can.Off the back of a disappointing season for the team it can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking that everything needs resetting.

I'd worry that Stockton is a one season wonder. Not a spring chicken and he's never even been close to this seasons stats ever so maybe him and morecambe just clicked this season?2

Would rather get Adam Phillips than Stockton.
Goals and assists from a position that we need.0 -
On loan isn’t he? He probably be playing for Burnley next season if they go down.SELR_addicks said:Would rather get Adam Phillips than Stockton.
