    In this team he will absolutely bang them in, his movement and strikers instinct is exactly what’s missing from this side, I will be ecstatic if it’s us who have managed to get his signature

    I’m not convinced he is nothing more than a one season wonder BUT he would have greater movement than Stockley and would suit this system better than Jayden.

    Fleetwood fans seem convinced it’s them anyway, strange move

    If it’s us we probably wouldn’t know until it’s almost done anyway.

    The trouble that Garner has is that he's made Stockley captain, the main man, not sure he's not regretting putting all his eggs in that basket.

    Doesn’t mean he has to pick him. Stockley has a job to do - score goals. If he doesn’t do that then he won’t play - captain or not. Problem is, nobody is breathing down his neck.

    Ridiculously harsh on Stockley.  System may not suit him but he has given 100% every game he has played for us and we would have quote possibly dropped to L2 without him last season.
    Tend to agree that Kirk is a luxury player who is not good enough to be one.

    I could give 100% to the team if I was chosen to play for the club. Wouldn't make me any less shit though. He's not good enough to be the "main man" for a team chasing promotion, in the system we are playing right now

    Interesting but can’t see us signing him, too similar to Stockley, not nippy enough.
    He'll get 20plus goals for us and we are currently about that number short within the squad. It is a no brainer for me.

    He never ‘banged them in’ for any team the seasons before last, and so far this year including the pre season friendlies he scored the exact same amount of goals as Stockley.

    The fact that it appears that Fleetwood are the front running team willing to spunk the cash on him should tell you everything about the risk he represents for teams.

    I think our lack of striker options on game 3 is what you can class as a risk.

    What makes you think that until the last two seasons, a player who had never scored over 5 goals in a season, and only over 15 once will score 20 plus goals for us?

    Stockton’s movement off the ball impresses me more than his goalscoring record from last season.

    He was an absolute menace at the Valley in the spring.

    The fact that he looked the best striker at The Valley last season, scored 20+ goals, including at least 2 from the half way line.

    Stockton’s record before last season doesn’t suggest he’s a goalscorer. But so many seem to be sold based on one hot season

    I mean if the best striker of the season at the valley last year is someone who scored one goal and didn’t get a look in during the second half, then we should have nothing to worry about at all this season

    Some of us have watched him play a few times. Maybe that is it.

    Which strikers do you think were better and will sign for us?

    Jury is out for me on Stockton, only really done any good for 1 season, but his off the ball movement is good. 
    I'm wondering whether, the plan is to get  a young PL striker (not a winger cum striker ala JRS) or indeed Tyreece Simpson is the final piece of the striker conundrum?
  • Some of us have watched him play a few times. Maybe that is it.
    That’s almost as ambiguous an answer you gave to why you thought Wollacott was not very good, ‘I’ve seen things’, after basing it all on one mistake he made in a half of a pre season friendly.

    If all the rumours are true and Stockton is off to Fleetwood, then again I think that says it all about how other teams rate his quality and the risk he represents.

    Last season in the one season in 12 he got to 20 goals?

    Yes, but it was the most recent season, be more worried if his hot season was five years agon and he only scored 5.goals in each of those  years.

    I have changed my mind about Wollacott and was always open to it. He was shit against Kilmanock but it was the first game I had seen him.

    It’s the best player in a shit World Cup team signing, he’s got double figures twice in his career, including seasons in League 2 and the National League. I want to be convinced, just don’t buy it, and I would have guessed a NW championship club would be sniffing around, and they haven’t
