TBW Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 24 years oldAveraged a goal every 5 games (so roughly 8 or 9 a season at best if injury free)Will want biggish wagesNo thanks Oh, well that's that then.Agard only got 14 last season in League One. 9 at the level Sordell has been at will do just fine if we contribute elsewhere too.Suddenly we've brought in a couple of players and we're too good for a guy who's primarily played at Championship level through his short career?A short term deal based on appearances/performances on a longer length is fine.

Apart from JK can't see any of our other strikers getting more than 9 goals if I'm honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten minutes of rough Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 I think we need to bring on Burns, a very good prospect, no need to panic, we have goals in the team, especially with Luke available again. Defence was the problem, hopefully we have that sorted for the time being at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Wouldn't say no tbh he's got something to prove and has been a very good championship striker in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireSection Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Short term contract or pay as you play, is a lot better than getting a payed naff all and losing your fitness at the same time. Ive got a feeling that Wes could be the player we keep on looking for. Cameo role 20 minutes to go at that pace would be a real weapon, Sorddell not a bad choice either and on a free, which paves the way got a big money loan strikers or experienced midfielder.

Robson Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Don't see anything wrong in this?Burns seems to have picked up a new position in RWB/RW, so no need for him to be upfront.Agard still not fully fit, and Wilbraham is getting to the age where he can't play a full 90 week in week out, that's been clear to see the past few games.Sordell definitely seems like the type of player who had a big future but has been misguided along the lines somewhere. A type of player Cotts would be able to put him back on track. Short contract till January, see how he gets on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Show Me The Money! Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 I wouldn't see Sordell guy as getting in the way of Wes's development as I don't think Wes is a striker. For me he is a winger or wing back. I don't think he will make it as an central attacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me he is a winger or wing back. I don't think he will make it as an central attacker.I have the same opinion, just as he needs that extra space to knock the ball into and get past a man. However he has been playing down the middle for Wales U21's and scored 2 the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 To be fair it could be worth bringing him in until Jan on not great wages just to make the numbers on the benchThat is right up there with 'pay as you play' contracts for ideas that no footballer in their right mind would sign.What next, zero hours football contracts?

Mad Cyril Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 It may depend on what other offers he receives . can anyone clarify which members of our current squad are on a deal until January (i dont mean loan players) or on a pay as you play or appearance based contract at low rates.Or indeed, if we have ever had a player on a contract like this.Or indeed, if any league footballer has ever been on a contract like this?

I'm sure it was either that or he was on a lower wage made up with a bigger appearance fee?I could be completely wrong but am sure he virtually cost us nothing during his time here.

BRIAN WILSON Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 he was on a trial and had three games with the reserves. And a shed load of cake.Also I believe Darren 'Sick Note' Anderton was on a very low basic salary at Birmingham with appearance monies added when applicable.Then he had a 'pay as you play' arrangement at Bournemouth.

Burnley have loads of striker's so obviously knew he wasn't gonna get a game.let's see what happens. After they join us many a signing has become a bad player overnight.
