    Simon Church is class, I rated him at Reading, Didn't think he got enough chances.

    Would love us to sign him.

    Maybe now we'll have a MASS influx of players?

    If he does sign, he'll get some good SERVICE from our wingers!

    He's been mentioned many times on here and is absolutely marmite amongst fans from what I recall.

    Reading fans were either "He doesn't score enough goals and offers nothing"
    or
    "He's the second coming of christ"

    I trust Mr Powell.

    He's also a full welsh international if I recall correctly - be good to have an international in the team again

    Probably right, I doubt SCP will ALTAR his recruitment policy.

    He's worth a punt, thought he was good when he first broke into the Reading team when they were poor in he 11/12 season but he seemed to lose his way a bit and hasn't had a lot of game time since.

    The covered end Choir will certainly praise him!

    I'd be quite happy to take a chance on Church. He was a good youngster at Reading when they were an average Championship club.
    He lost his place in their promotion season & Doyle, Kitson & Lita were in front of him.
    He's also played 22 games for Wales, which at our level isn't too shabby.
    If he's got no club, 6 foot tall & has something to prove, why not ?

    Plus he probably won't have to move, which I always think can be an important factor, to stay in touch with friends & family.

    Hopefully he will know how to score from a CROSS....

    An Orient fan mate of mine says he was really good for them. Strong player, but doesn't score many. Worth giving a trial to at least.

    Dont really think he is the answer but we dont really seem to have any other options

    He'd have to take a pay cut probably...Could be a stumbling block

    Stats dont mean anything. Look at Yann's championship stats at Leicester

    But I've heard that Church is nothing but a knave.

    Could be someone who Chrissy could get the best out of, young enough and a has something to prove.

    We need someone with pace badly, all a bit one speed up front, and Church won't change that

    If SCP thinks he is good enough for what we can afford then Im happy.

    I'd be pretty pleased if he did sign up. Kermorgant's goal record since joining us is the best of any club he's been at, what (except the moaners ;)) is to say CP's Midas touch can't strike twice?
