Doakes Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 A few ideas for a goal scorer.... Joe Gormley - Cliftonville https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joe-gormley/leistungsdaten/spieler/191258 153 goals in 254 games, 39 assists too Patrick Hoban - Dundalk (piss their fans off again) https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/patrick-hoban/profil/spieler/158951 Their top scorer with 5 goals in 5 games so far this season, 14 in 34 last season Seem like the kind of players Goodwin might scout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After becoming "disillusioned" with professional football, Gormley cancelled his contracts with Peterborough and St Johnstone. Think he's comfortable where he is.

I'm all for using those leagues as a source of good players but anyone coming in would have to be early 20s at the oldest for my liking. Guys who are late 20s and early 30s still in LoI are there with good reason. Look at David McMillan with St. Johnstone, he came over with some LoI record and struggled in League 1 with Falkirk here.

I think you are confused - I don't know anyone who believes in an omnipotent sky fairy... Once you meet God you will think differently. So is Fraser signing ?

Flip side, I've been impressed with Conor McCarthy - Jamie McGrath looked good in flashes, especially playing through the middle. This website ranks McCarthy 24th. Sean McLaughlin listed 16th and Jamie McGrath 14th. https://punditarena.com/football/thepateam/the-25-league-ireland-best/ They list Pat Hoban as the 2nd best player in the league. A few on that list would probably be worth a look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few on that list would probably be worth a look! Yeah but that's sort of my point. McCarthy, McGrath (and McLoughlin who we'd tried to buy before them and Hull got in before us) were all young players, 20, 21, 22 years old. I'd like more of that ahead of guys in their late 20s and early 30s who have already been over to the UK and struggled a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddie1877_ Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) If we want a goal scorer. I’d offer Jake Hyde a 1 year deal. 30 years old, but still got 16 in 32 in the national league. Out of contract too! Edited July 28, 2020 by Buddie1877_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your point but I think the priority is to find a goalscorer - regardless of age - that's within our budget Stephen Dobbie was still banging them in despite being further on in his career. Someone like that would do me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he becomes available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time definitely caught up to him last season and will do so even more now with a 7 month hiatus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
