Brilliant young talent at Cheltenham, one of the top players in league 2. Could be the next Ollie Watkins. His stock may be high but interest is low currently. Would be able to bank on him scoring.
How on earth can we bank on him scoring? He’s played at the bottom tier of the football league for half a season, the previous two years in the eighth or ninth tier. He has a grand total of ten league goals to his name. I know we need to be sensible with targets but dear me I think in the circumstances we should look for more than someone with only 25 league appearances and all in the bottom tier. He could be brilliant - but if he was brought in I’d sincerely hope there’d be others too. Practically zero chance of him being ready to play at this level.
I used to work with a guy who had the same name. Was spitting image of Leon Clarke but was a shocking footballer. No thanks.
A growing talent, for sure, in an average Cheltenham Town team. If we want serious pace out wide and the ability to score goals, he could be worth a punt, but would need further development to come up to Championship level. Had a blinder against a strong West Ham team in the cup. Probably needs a bit longer in league 2 to prove he can sustain his early form, but could be worth somewhere up to £500k, maybe. No more at this stage.
You deserve some credit for spotting the opportunity, and finding decent strikers is a very taxing job, but I reckon he'll not go into the red shirt just yet.
Ok, well the bank account is just ISA - so that didnt compute. But fair enough if it wasn’t a genuine thought. About as high quality a gag as mine on the Mark Warburton thread mind you!
I’d go in less than that just to unsettle the player, it would probably turn his head knowing a championship club as come in for him, which is all fine in love and war, it’s only not fair when a club does it to one of our players.
Why pluck players names out of the sky & start speculation , I am sure when we are genuinely linked with a player, the media will do the rest
