    Charlie McNeil confirms he is leaving Manchester United
    His record at Youth Level is ridiculous with over 600 Goals
    Definitely worth a punt IMO on a free

    Wouldn’t turn him down, but expect him to go to a championship/newly promoted premier league team on a long term contract.

    We need a plug and play striker. Got enough of our own that are at the development stage.

    Give Ashley fletcher a chance to reignite his career...... Needs a wage cut after a bad few years but worth a shot in my opinion.

    4 goals in his last 75 appearances. Would be an awful signing.

    I’m sure I read somewhere he could sign for Stockport but not sure. If we were to sign him, I hope he wouldn’t be a direct replacement for Cole or McAtee but someone who’s going to play their part as a squad player.

    Yep, but if we took a punt on someone else who didn't used to play for us with those stats, board would be hammered for it! There's no in-between.

    I saw him play for Stevenage at Cheltenham last season and was disappointed, as he hardly got a touch. When they brought on a more experienced striker Stevenage went out and scored two goals late in the game. He definitely has the pedigree from youth football and could be worth a punt, but will need a lot of Johnny Stead's coaching before he comes good. He also had a loan spell at Newport. He's no Michael Chopra at the moment, but could be worth a punt. I doubt if he will go to a Championship team, unless there is a coach who knows him and thinks he could get the best out of him. Could be the next Max Watters!!

    I'd like us to sign an "actual striker." Preferably that scores goals.

    I could understand most signings we made last year, even Dallas (unless he cost a bomb...) - besides Shaw, mate. Problem is, it's all well & good making signings with potential but I definitely felt we needed 1 or 2 with more game experience under their belt. Hopefully they sort it out for us this season.

    It is a bit odd sounding though, hammering the Club for their signings, then suggesting Ashley Fletcher.

    Yeah I agree to be honest, I'm all for low risk signings as long as they are complimented with more established first teamers. I look forward to seeing who comes in this summer.

    Yeah suppose it is if you don't rate the player. I think he would be an asset in League one with the right club.
