Replacement strikers
« on July 31, 2019, 08:58:12 pm by Shawndrfc »
Just having a look at last years top scorers:-

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/league-one/top-scorers

There are a few players that caught my eye, a fair few have gone into the championship but there could be someone that could come in to fill the void that looks set to be made by Marquis.

Chef Evans
Ivan Toney
Jonson Clarke-Harris
Joe Pigott
Matt Goden

Could all be strikers worth looking at, out of that list who would people prefer?

Toney is the nearest in style to Marquis.
Someone that you dislike if playing against you but love if playing for you.
Regular scorer in L1 too.

Peterborough wouldn't sell Toney to us, Evan's would be realistic and we could hijack his reported move to Bolton.

They might sell him to us if we meet their valuation.

Clarke Harris was scoring for fun second half of last season, not just tap ins either.. would be a good signing if not a direct replacement..

We are no more desperate that any other club looking to strengthen.

It is part a function of how good Marquis has been and part a function of playing one up, but not since Andy Williams (himself as much a winger as a striker) have we had a genuine senior striker other than Marquis. Hence we now go into the post-Marquis world with Alfie May and the lad Boocock as our only dedicated options.

Sam Crosgrove from Aberdeen could be worth a punt. Scored plenty of goals for Aberdeen last season

Clarke-Harris has certainly progressed since his spell here and I think he’d be a decent addition. Offers some of the goals and physicality that Wilks had.

I've seen Leo Fortune West running for the Armthorpe bus at Donny bus station a few times. He's still quite pacy.

Not sure many other clubs have lost their only real striker 3 days before the start of the season.
I’ve heard other managers state previously that they didn’t want to announce the sale of the player until they’d replaced them, so other clubs wouldn’t up their prices

I’d take Chef Evans, he could cook up something good I think

IF DM is given the funds from the Marquis transfer im pretty confident , with his contacts, he can bring someone in just as good.

.....but we did have Andy Williams who had scored plenty of goals previously, for us and Swindon.

Could always look at players who did well in league 2 last year:-

Tyler Walker - either loan or make a bid
John Akinde
Padraig Amond
Kane Hemming

Any of them could make the step up from what they did last year in league 2.

Tyler Walker was close to signing for Coventry or Lincoln, would love to hijack that deal... Jonson Clarke-Harris for me
