Josh the last thing we need up top is another gamble. I'd sooner spend 25k on extra wages for a free transfer experienced centre forward.

Have we got the money for an experienced centre forward who knows maybe have to shed one or two.

That looks like 'ends'; it's really 'extends'!

cashman · 03-01-2020, 09:33

MikeA · 03-01-2020, 12:15

Again, for 'end' read 'extend'!

Better news. Both lads look good prospects, so best of luck to them.

I don't understand your comment.
There are strikers available for free.
What I'm saying is offer an extra £500 a week on our basic and get one in rather than pay a fee for another totally inexperienced player.
We're not in "one for the future" land anymore.
Need to start scoring goals from the off.
To shed players there needs to be interest in them.

£500 on top of basic which probably isn't much won't get the striker your alluding to I meant offloading obviously someone has to be interested I ain't thick to allow a bit of leeway in the budget.

It would. You’d be shocked how desperate out of contract players are to secure a deal.

ASFC1019 · 03-01-2020, 18:21

Who are these strikers out of contract?

What a great question

Lets have the names of these "top strikers" who will come to Accy within our budget, so Coley can go and watch them. If they are Free Agents lets get them in on Sunday for training

28, Why is it a 'dangerous suggestion' ??? Re Clark Please explain.
He may be a very loyal young man but if his opinion of his worth and the club's valuation are far apart then he's going to look elsewhwere - that's life, as you say and if that cannot be reconciled, better to sell if the right offer comes along. I would value him above 50k though, but certainly nowhere near the 1 million that Coley was, at one time, suggesting. On his day, he's a great player to have on your team but, for me, he's not consistent enough. He wouldn't be a massive loss, and with other players on the books with different skills, a successor can be found. Pritchard, for example, given the opportunities and automatic selection that Clark has had, could grow in confidence and become a very effective player.

Plenty of strikers available Mr T
