Jimbo Ram Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 1 hour ago, i-Ram said: Quite. It seems to me that a lot are overlooking how many our ‘defenders’ will score this season. How many did our back 5 contribute last season. I’ll guess at no more than 5. Warne will expect closer to 20 from his new group this season, from corners, free kicks, and wing back shooting. We don’t really need a hotshot for this season, but it would be nice to think we have one in mind for seasons ahead. 20 😳 That would be good 😊 Nearly cover McGoldrick’s goals.

If we had the money Warne would be giving him a piggy back here if he wanted to sign. Why would any club in this division not want that level of goal threat if they could bring it in.

We will be better at corners this year - we couldn't really be much worse. I think Ward and Elder will get a few goals if we are playing them as wing backs, with freedom to get in and around the box. 20 might be optimistic, but hey I am usually pigeon holed as being negative on here.

If we had the money, which we either can't spend or based on recent Warne comments probably aren't looking to spend. I can't see he'll get a move over 1.5 -2 million as they want to sell. Possibly need too based on recent reports. That's probably his ceiling as a player who'll get 10 in the league above, as he's played their before, with length of contract. That's a decent price for the goals he'll get in this league. If were here for 2-3 years it's goals that increase our chances of promotion greatly. If we go up in a year let him go for a million. Either way it's a decent deal to my mind if his wage is reasonable. Times pushing for Peterborough and the player re a move so expectation will be more tempered than it was 2 months ago.

He'll probably end up as a last gasp transfer at the end of the transfer window, which could go one of two ways. Either Posh will accept a much lower price because no one is desperate enough to pay their asking price or they get a high price because championship clubs with money and desperate for a goalscorer will compete against each other for his signing.

sage Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 If he would accept it, I would offer him a 1 month contract tomorrow with a 50p release clause. SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely dont know the answer, my lazy guesstimate which isnt based on a lot other some of my own assumptions is that there will be clubs higher up and in a better position to make a deal happen if they so choose. as for him as a player, other than his goal record i really havent seen enough of him to comment on if i think he would be a good fit etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarke-Harris is very good back to goal holding the ball up. He has a low trajectory and can do it 20 yards from the box. He'd certainly help our midfielders get more. Moot point I suppose as he won't be coming. NottsRam77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there is but within it all there is also a lot of good sense too. G's assessment of Peterborough's position is very much in line with mine and others. Paying Peterborough the sort of money they would like for JCH is loaded with a gamble, a la Marriott. We're not playing roulette in the transfer market anymore. There are good reasons why no-one has dived in for JCH so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and his age… hes a 29 yo forward whos not been prolific any higher than league 1 marriott and the many before him that came off the production line at posh had more measurable potential given their comparative age to JCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
