    Well I think he would be brilliant! What? Look I’m doing dry January so I’m allowed to be irrational

    Ticks no boxes and has no attributes of a top target man, certainly not at our level.

    We need someone to come on next boxing day dressed as Santa. He'll come on after 85 minutes, wearing santa hat and beard & knock in the winner, which will be beamed around the world. China's christian underdogs.

    Well Kieffer Moore has been mentioned so I wondered how long it'd take for Akinfenwa.

    Just thought I'd bump this as a reminder of OnGoingCloud's last suggestion.

    He's the polar opposite in terms of recruitment, otherwise I'd think this was Hemsy. A twin separated at birth maybe.

    scored about 17 for Gillingham in League 1 not so long ago. Banged in a load for Wycombe last season.

    A seasoned proven goalscorer in the lower leagues whether people ridicule him or not. Great at holding up the ball, winning headers and bring others into play.

    He's 36 years old and was playing in league 2 last season. You go on about lack of investment then suggest signing an old fat bloke?

    Scored goals in the lower leagues? At the time of this thread when you suggested we sign him we weren't IN the lower leagues.
    I notice he's not in the "must have" 15 players you listed recently as guaranteeing us promotion. What happened there then?

    Someone who gets up at the barmy times I do, Churts? :)

    I thought this was a new thread and was just about to post and say we don't want a striker who'd displace Mido in our affections - but I see I already said that back in January!

    At least I'm consistent! (Although no doubt BigLil will contest that!)

    I'm on that - 5 Leffes and 2 whiskies! :)

    A shortish stint as a milkman in an alternative life many many years ago also leaves me with strange sleeping habits!

    I had fourteen months as a milkman many years back. I'd been doing a stressful job and wanted out and to be my own boss. Bought a milk round with Dale Farm....after a year of 60 hour weeks and being constantly dog tired I got out pronto.
