GrahamC Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Signed by GJ from Dartford in the summer, has scored 4 already in their three games. Seeing as we certainly have a real advantage if any Cheltenham player is on our radar, this lad, (who is 22) is definitely worth us keeping an eye on. If he can score as many as Vassell of Luton he also wouldn't cost us even half as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Bobby has 3 in 2, so why bother?... if we are looking at it purely on this seasons stats the stats for Reid playing in the championship far out weigh both of these players at the moment. We have Hinds as the prospect, and maybe Engvall, I'd rather we look at a proven talent given what we have in the u23's at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We presumably will still continue to scout players all this season and whilst I'm delighted (and admittedly surprised) by Reid's excellent goal scoring start, it may of course not last.. I don't want to turn it into yet another Engvall thread, but LJ's comment today that he still wants to bring in another attacking player this month after signing Eliasson and when he sends Engvall back out on loan when two of his other senior strikers are currently both out injured, suggests to me that he simply does not rate him. As for Eisa I'd simply hope that any (young) promising player at a South West club was known to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand what you are suggesting, but Personally, i think if we are looking for something now it would be a proven striker, we have many players at that level. and if you fill your under 23's with too many young talents i think you stifle growth. You get to a point where none of them are getting enough games and they end up on loan and it all goes nowhere I am thinking, Engvall, Mclousky, Hinds, the Italian guy add more in there and the focus goes imo. When you consider these players have Taylor and Đurić in front of them, I do wonder what the purpose is. Almost getting in players for the sake of it rather than identifying real talent and rolling it into the first team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 If we are insistent on bringing in another striker I hope it's a 3-4m or striker from a foreign league. Risky sure but that's where the best value for money is. Maybe Vassell becomes good idk but you can get better performers in better divisions for just a bit more money and most likely not too much more in wages.

GrahamC Posted March 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Scored another 2 today, now has 22 for the season.

Kid in the Riot Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Your OP is looking rather prophetic now GC! Fair shout.

Of all the `proven` players signed by our rivals in January how many have made a significant contribution to their season since? Mitrovic definitely and Grabban to an extent but not many beyond that.

BCFC Grim Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Scored another two today. ( still half hour left with Cheltenham 5.1 up away from home ) Can't say I even heard his name before I read this thread but what a find for Cheltenham.

INCRED Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 I dare say his name has cropped up in the Johnson household and how he has developed this season. Bit of a rough diamond when brought in by GJ from non league but the lad has bags of skill, pace and knows where the net is. No reason why LJ couldn’t get first shout on him if he thinks he can step up and one for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Can’t say I’ve seen anything of him bar the goal clips on C5. What does he offer over McCoulsky, or Hinds for that matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
