BramcoteRam84 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 This is the lad Eric Steele has been banging on about saying we should sign. Looks a real player and someone who deserves his shot at a big club. Could be a great move. Doesn’t matter that he’s 29, he could be a late developer and make an impact at a high level later in his career, with the right attitude and hunger to do well he’s probably got 3 good seasons left in him. We will be signing players 29-30 and 30+ this window, the majority need to be 22-28 but doesn’t mean they all need to be. Hope we get him Carnero, Caerphilly Ram, Blondest Goat and 6 others 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who is proven in league one, hungry and wanting to make a step up in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Direct, quick, eager runner and has a great shot. A bit like an upgraded and slimmer version of Jack Marriott. If he could get another 20-goal season, IMO the touted 150K would be well below market value. I'd assume he would fit in well for Warne-ball as well.

Ghost of Clough Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 15 hours ago, Sparkle said: What I do know is that some of his strike were of high quality last season and I don’t give out compliments that easily - if he can score inside the six yard area then that would help - definitely not a hold up, flick it on type of forward. How we would fit him in would be interesting - yes we should be interested and yes getting out of league one and into the championship is what we are trying to achieve Scored from almost identical positions to McGoldrick (I think he scored 1 goal less in the end). How would he cope with having less space against more compact defences? Would this be offset enough by being given more opportunities to score in a better side?

whiteroseram Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Quite a lot of age related comments, isn't he a good 6 years younger than didzy, 3 years younger than Collins? Yes we need more of the bulk of our squad in that age profile, but got to work around who we can get in. Maybe if didzy leaves we'll replace with younger as well and everyone complaining about May's age will presumably be happy, but then we'll definitely need a goalscorer regardless of anything else Premier ram, jono, Ramarena and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram1988 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 He is 29 turning 30 so hardly past it. If anything he will be in his prime now and up for a big season with us hopefully. Premier ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the fee is £750k upwards then we need to do every bit of research to ensure that our decision in signing him is justified. Personally i wouldn't pay over half a mil but providing its less than that then he's worth the gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Sheriff Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Only really done well in the last 2 years. If we are getting him and there is fee haggling.. offer a fee based on promotion. Think will keane would be less of a risk as he has done well in the league above and wigan need money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparxTheRam Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I've just watched his goals from last season, are people really saying we shouldn't be signing a player like this? Decent pace, playing off the shoulder, different to what we have already, genuinely two footed so a threat inside and out.... Ffs he's only 29, and has clearly improved as he's got his prime years the last couple of seasons... Jesus, we're a league one side, who are you expecting us to sign that's going to be better than a 20 goal, in the same league, striker?

If he had his goal scoring record last season but was only 20 we wouldn't have a chance of securing his signature. SparxTheRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser_23 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Who doesn’t want a player who can score 20+ goals for a team that finished 16th in League 1? Surely with better players around him he’ll excel even more? This is the standard we are at now and we need to sign players who are proven at this level to get us out this league. Alfie May is the perfect player SparxTheRam and Ram1988 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fewest headers won and the worst for aerial duels in the entire Football League. How will cope with more compact defences which are sitting deeper than the more open defences playing high lines than he's used to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would just be nice to have someone who takes up good positions in the box when we attack. Also someone who can capitalise on knockdowns from set pieces. We can’t write May off until we know who else we might be signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
