deanoakaram4life Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Neither him or Stockton are good enough in my eyes. At 29 probably looking for his final big pay day, so understandably, his agent is going berserk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 May is a better player than Stockton. Would also work well with a player like McGoldrick. Wsm-ram and Caerphilly Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like has more of a goal threat than Collins. May looks a good player, him and mcgoldrick for a season could be a good combination. Is not a given mcgoldrick stays but I think he will.

I just don't see his all round game being good enough. If we're to play 343, which best suits the players we currently have registered for next season, then we would need a more complete forward. We've seen how it doesn't work when Collins is upfront on his own for example. Defensive contribution, in either winning the ball back high up the pitch or at set pieces is also extremely important. In front of goal, May is almost identical to McGoldrick, 2 less shots overall (1 less in penalty area and 1 less outside) resulting in 2 less goals (1 more outside the box, 3 less in the penalty area). However, that's where the similarities end... Dribbles - dribble success is much worse, at 35% from 77 attempts vs McGoldrick's 56% from 84 Aerial duels - 8% from 49 vs 45% from 219 Key passes - 28 vs 38 Tackles - 25 vs 40 Clearances - 6 vs 20 jono and Andicis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Alfie May has had an excellent end to the season 11 in his last 13 league games. He got 16 in his last 18 league games the season prior to that too. We should probably look to make this signing in January to get value for money. I think he would be an astute pick up. He's got 43 goals in the last two seasons at this level, a very opportunistic striker - a good finisher by all accounts. He's not a complete forward, but his body of work shows that he's become a reliable goal threat. I'd also have a look at the young(er) lad who he's been playing upfront with recently - Aiden Keena - who has been impressive in the second half of the season. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomTom92 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Wrexham after him as well apparently. Personally think there’s too many noses sniffing for us to win the race but nice to realistically linked with players who we can pay money for again.

Maybe one of the championship clubs would be chosen over us, but God help us if Wrexham beat us to a signing. admira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 His goals were genuinely of the highest order of individual brilliance - not sure what that means for his team play or involvement or what he would be like in a side that made plenty of chances ?

A lot is made of Wrexham's spending power, but they're now in a league with much tighter restrictions. Mullin is their highest earner on £4,500.00 a week, whilst a nice wage for a lower league footballer and people with normal jobs - I'd imagine Alfie May would be looking for somewhere in the region of double that given his body of work in the past two seasons. It makes them competitive with the likes of the Shrewsbury, Exeter and Cheltenham - it's still a mile off being able to compete financially with ourselves. It's not a too dissimilar to Salford, who bought their way out of the National League and into League Two. Andicis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
