Just had a quick squizz at how the proven strikers that were bandied about on here as being the answer to all our prayers are doing so far this season. Cole Stockton, Tyler Walker, Aaron Pressley, JCH (Brian's choice), Tyrese Simpson, Dale Taylor - 9 league goals between the lot of them. Garritys got more than any of them.

I think last night showed why we have to tie Walters down to a 3yr+ deal now,him and Plant could be future money makers for us. It also showed how important it is to stay in League One because both of those players will be worth a lot more top end of league one/championship than back in League Two,so if this is the model we are aiming for then we need to aim high and get the younger players signed up before others sniff around

I don't see that he did say how they would have done at Vale. He was just pointing out that none of them has shone this season, and that Garrity has scored more than any of them. Simples.

This is an impossible statement to make. You don't know how they would have done at Vale - different styles/locations/settling in periods etc etc Personally I think we'd have been stronger with any of those.

Sam Smith could be added to both lists too ie a name bandied about but out injured. Just goes to show what a gamble, and an expensive gamble at that, it can be signing any striker at this level.

So you're basically saying that I make an impossible statement (based purely on facts on how many league goals have been scored by them), then say that you think we'd be stronger with any of the strikers mentioned (based purely on conjecture). I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to argue.

On that, I only found out a few days ago that Tom is the son of one of my business partners - just glimpsed his profile on LinkedIn and there was a picture of Tom in his new 'Nam kit.
