Can confirm Kendall has been made available for transfer

 

[It'sGrimUpNorth]

See Quigley 13 games 0 goals. How many has Kendall scored and why would Woking let him go?

14 games 0 goals, sounds like our sort of player.

@London Shrimper its say, deal subject to personal terms, so in a way, Kendell only have to agree years on contract and wages to sign for us?

There is more to personal terms than just length of contract and wages.

“Prolific striker at Eastbourne”

Yeah, three years ago and a league below. Seven goals in three seasons since then.

He’d be a gamble signing who could work and pay off, but if it was as a mid-season arrival as a Bim replacement I’m not sure I’d be too delighted.

People said similar about Bim and look how that turned out? Think we need to give players a chance before being disappointed in them lol

Some right weird ones inserted. Spencer Prior having to eat sheep's testicle before signing for Cardiff. Sounds like a bush tucker trial.

Let's just buy lots of strikers to solve goalscoring issue.

But let's ignore investment tactically and through certain player types on creating goals.

A large part of the reason why players succeed at new clubs is nothing to do with the club it's how the team plays

 

[Sherif H]

To be fair, Quigley would be right up our street - loads of games and zero goals to his name! I'll get my tin hat on.

Bonne - 0 goals
Waldron - 0 goals
Walker - 3 goals
Bim - 7 goals of which 3 were Saturday against Brentwood (although he offers way more than goals)

Rumour ive seen is that Bim might be going back to Luton and loaned back out to a L1/2 side. If so this may explain the story

I reckon Luton would be a bit silly to do that. Shown some promise and looks like he could be a real player, but he’s scored 7 goals in 17 appearances, 3 of which came against an Isthmian League North Division side.

Best thing they could do is leave him with us for the remainder of the season. 4 goals in 15 games at NL level doesn’t suggest he’s a League One or Two player at this stage in his career. Love the guy, but still got lots to learn and needs to keep playing regularly.

In fairness it sounds like we’ve been a long term admirer and watched him a number of times. Sometimes players just don’t fit a side. Messi wouldn’t have put up the same numbers he did for Barcelona if he was playing for Stoke during their 4-4-2 hoofball ****house era. If we play a similar style to Eastbourne in which he could thrive, then it could be good business. I feel like we wouldn’t have chased him for this long if he was crap.

Smells of Goodship

Beggars can't be choosers but I feel he will be underwhelming, more so as we don't really create chances for our strikers. Would much prefer a player like Dackers who while not scoring much, is a handful and links the midfield and attack or maybe a bigger unit a la Quigley.

We aren’t just after a striker as LS has pointed out. It just happens that we are able to bring in a striker first.

We aren’t going to say, hang on no not yet, we need others first…

Kendall has scored goals at the level below us. How many levels below did Goodship score his goals?

This “smells” nothing like Goodship.

We’ve been in for Kendall since two summers ago. We have a bid, for a fee (but obviously COSU aren’t putting money in on the footballing side) rejected in the summer just gone.

This couldn’t be any further than a “Goodship” signing. Whilst he may or may not work out better than Goodship did, it isn’t a panic signing, isn’t a desperation signing, and isn’t a “Goodship” signing.

Glad to see we are writing him off already.

Is the sz way!

Then he scores one off his arse, is the best player ever and going to Peterborough for 2.5m

Surely the guy from Brentwood would be a better punt?

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

He’d be much more of a Goodship signing - step 4 non-league is 3 levels below us, at least Kendall is currently playing at our level and was banging in goals one level below.

I can’t see that Ogunleye from Brentwood Town would be a “better punt” when we’ve seen how difficult it has been for Danny Waldron to make the step up just one level.

Looking at the video clips, Kendall is clearly a good finisher. However, look at how many of his chances were made by team mates sliding in balls between the centre halves for him to run onto. We just don't play like that. I fear that he'll just have his back to goal the whole time which is why I believe Quigley is the type of player we need right now.

 

[Blues4LifeDan]

Surely the guy from Brentwood would be a better punt?

Waldron was 'prolific' from only 1 league below. The step up is unbelievably difficult. Of course, it can happen but for every Langstaff, there will be 20 Goodship's.

Although, I believe we are trying to go down the route of looking at local talent but that will probably be players that are even younger.

 

[Ian Benjamin]

I thought Kendall was a bit of a handful when we played Woking. Has that "nasty" streak that forwards need, he's quick and was always moving and managed to buy a few fouls. Reminded me a bit of Cheek in his younger days.
