please dazzler, i know you're specialism is stats and spreadsheets but any good midfielder looking to 'go places' isn't going to want to join a team that hasn't got any fire power for them to feed - as steve gallen alluded to - you sign a few and the ball starts rolling - a big signing now will encourage others - domino effectDazzler21 said:

we have lost a lot of goals and physicality with aneke going we HAVE to replace that !The only striker I can think of who could get 15+ goals and not break the bank is Stephen Humphrys, he’s about to sign for Wigan.
Whether we can get them im not sure but personally names i like are pigott

Charles accringtonYour right though humphrys would of been ideal

I know what you mean, a talisman for the team (like Taylor, Clarke-Harris, Pigott, etc). I think that’s exactly what we’ve signed Stockley for, we haven’t paid all that money for him to be in a supporting role.DOUCHER said:
i'll bow to your greater knowledge but what makes you think there are no top strikers out there? My ideal is we bring one in (i'm talking a lyle taylor (although not him) / Marquis / Piggot / clarke harris type level / player) and a pacey young prem loan if we can do some sort of deal with ronnie - i just can't see him coming goodElliotCAFC said:

Think he's just signed a new deal , would also throw Colby Bishop in the mix from Accrington but I think I saw there's big championship interest.LargeAddick said:

"Krystian Bielik type " - isn't this Dobson? Started as a CB at Arsenal, moved into defensive midfield at West Ham. Hopefully he offers tactical flexibility like Bielik did where we could drop into a 3 at the back when need be.Henry Irving said:
A Karlan Grant type plus a Conor Gallagher type, a Krystian Bielik type and a better version of Johnny Williams who creates and scores goals and isn't always injured.AFKABartram said:I’ll be very pleased once we get a (hopeful) goal scorer with a bit of pace tied up. Really need someone like a Wright-Phillips imo, someone who knows where the goal is, has pace and can get in behind.
Stockley is a target and Conor a worker. It’s missing the other type
That should be a start. Add a few more loans, promote Wassim Aoucheria and Aaron Henry from the U23s and were done.
Easy, this football recruitment lark, ain't it :- )

but we don't know the budget - i've not ruled out division blowing funds and i think stockley would appreciate the help - he is a target man - a foil for others, nota main man in my book although very good at what he does.ElliotCAFC said:

I saw that Accrington wanted £1m for Charles... personally I think he'd come if doens't get an Championship offer. £1m is a lot but it's also one of those deals where in 2 years time you could sell him for £5-10m.

FWIW I would pity the midfielder that cannot create good chances without the perfect striker.
Washington, Stockley and yes I believe with the right service Schwartz will bang the goals in. The latter might even two this season!2 -

Gilbey will mustard next season I reckon.14

You could also release him after the 3rd year after not being able to make the step up.

Who went 18 games without a goal last season . but good young option and one who would not expect first team football straight awayLargeAddick said:

For me the key now is to sign a midfield playmaker. The player that makes the side tick over. A metronome if you like. Always either on the ball or ready to receive it. Not easy to find but that’s the player I want to see come in as our marquee signing.14

Could obviously say that about any signing, 1mil isn't much for a striker that can fire you to the Championship and then chip in there too. Major problem is that League 1 is littered with strikers who have had a great season at some point, Charles one of them. 1 in 4 in the National League, and then the same record in his first season at Accrington. Good striker finding his feet or a one off?Cafc43v3r said:

I've noticed that we've decided that Washington is an outside left now that we are low on numbers in that position?
His best work was done right up front drawing defenders out wide with his work ethic and runs. He was great to watch during that period he kept our wins going before that unfortunate injury 30 secs into a game.2 -

Completely disagree that our only option for a good striker is a prem loan.
Charles, Dale, Piggott, Bishop, Humphrys.
There's never been so many good striker options in this league.

This is better than the team we started at Crewe with last year tbh, but we don't have shite owner, a transfer embargo and wage cap now so no excuses really !0 -
