Why’s he a bad signing? They’ve signed three good solid players for this level in the last few days. 

Correct,imo 3 signings that the majority on here would of been very happy with had we signed them

Tbf to Walsall they seem to be giving it a go this coming season

I think Clarke did say that we weren’t going to go out and sign a nailed on 20 goal a season man.  Whether he meant it or not will obviously depend on cost and availability.

If someone can hit 20 plus and we have a decent goal tally spread across the squad we’re more likely to be near the top than the bottom that’s for sure.

Who wouldnt want a 20 goal a season striker in their team. OK no guarantee it gets you promoted , its your total goal tally that does.  But hey theres 20 towards the required total.

Yeah that’s obvious… and if they came with a cast iron 100% guarantee then I would say go and get one. But the point is that when balancing a budget DC thinks he can get the results by spreading the wages across the pitch rather than gambling £4K a week hoping to get Vaughan’s return but running the risk of getting that of Andrade, Nugent, Tom Elliot, Maynard or Donaldson.

I’m sure Rudgie used to talk about aiming for 20 clean sheets or more and it is noteworthy that the winners of the PL, Championship, L1 and L2 last year all had either the best goals against in their leagues or were in the top 3 sides in the division. In L2 two of the three highest scoring sides didn’t even make the playoffs (and Oldham managed to finish 18th!)

For me, that makes the recruitment of a quality centre half and keeper more pressing than up front (particularly with Rodders and Wilson already there and the potential of goals from Conlon, Worrall, Taylor etc).

Hence the old saying: "strikers win matches, defenders win championships" 😉😊

Fairpoint IC . Thats where the Manager/DOF s skill comes in , when you 'Buy' a 20 goal a season striker you actually get one.
