tin Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I know this is a bit early to be talking about this but I'd like to think the scouts are out and about with a list of targets as long as my arm for this summer. With LJ injured, Skuse not in the slightest bit creative or attacking and the jury still very much out on Carle, this blokes been going about his business scoring 15 league goals for MK Dons this season. Now this position is one of the priority's for me and he'd surely be one that would interest us? As well as being skipper and at a decent age, he's one we must be looking at.

Rocky Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Good lord NO! I think we can look up and around us for players rather than down nowadays!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted April 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Good lord NO! I think we can look up and around us for players rather than down nowadays!? That's a narrow minded view though. There's plenty of players knocking around in the lower leagues that make the step up. Just look at players like Kitson (Cambridge-Reading), Bullard (Posh-Wigan), Lawrence (Mansfield-Sunderland) who've stepped up. I think Nicky Maynard's another one we should be keeping tabs on. 65 appearances for wolves between 1999/2005 (0)goals and 29 appearances for hull 2005/06 (0) goals admmitedly was injured for 4 months at hull but if he was championship standard surley hull would have kept hold of him Players come evolve at different rates though. We need someone with a bit of attacking prowess in the centre of the park and unless our scouts have got someone like Robert Koren or Zoltan Gera stashed away in Slovenia or Hungary til the summer I genuinely don't know who we could attract from the higher echelons. This guy's had a good couple of seasons, banging in the goals and captaining what looks like a title winning team so surely worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Title winning team in League two. The guy was no good for Wolves or Hull and I bet will just slip into the average player pool of League One. Onwards and upwards. I do agree that some players come good at different clubs but not this guy...is that more open minded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Taunton Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 That's a narrow minded view though. There's plenty of players knocking around in the lower leagues that make the step up. The two chaps at posh might also be worth a look- mclean and boyd. Mclean powerful, quick striker 27 goals this season (yes I know its in league 2).

Bristolian76 Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Id agree with Mclean, he definetly looks like he could make the step up as could Nicky Maynard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Id agree with Mclean, he definetly looks like he could make the step up as could Nicky Maynard. I'd take Maynard over McLean as he's proved it in the league below for two seasons. McLean's never played there before. 11 goals in 7 games for Maynard at Crewe now and who know's where they'd be if he not broke his leg on the opening day.

Is that an order? Tin, this guy has scored 15 goals in the basement league - even you could score goals in that division old boy! I really do think we need to be spending our hard earned on established championship/lower prem players if we want to progress. He didnt set this division alight at Hull or Wolves.

Keep the Faith Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I've seen MK Dons play a number of times this season and I expected good things from him but I've got to be honest he was useless every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
