A lot of people still missing the point about Cassidy. You can argue stats til your blue in the face. To many many people he's so friggin boring!

Thankfully, your view is not the only one in the pond. Lots find him worth taking a chance on, including me. Opinions eh, don't you just love them?
 
Got to be worth a one year deal with the option for an extension. Even if as back up to BBBC incase he gets injured. Can do a similar job
 
I think Cassidy would be worth a punt, he seems to drag opposition defenders all over th place and always gives 100% effort. If he just had that stroke of luck in the box once he got one goal I think he would be a real asset to the the team. If there is any weekend I want him to score his first goal, it's defiantly this one.

Exactly, lets have some excitement!

BRING BACK MOHSNI!!

:happy:
 
I like my forwards to score. Works hard. Runs around a lot but does not look like he has that eye for goal. For me it's a massive No.

In which case, can I interest you in another player released by Wolves - Leon Clarke?

Leon has an eye for goal .........
 
Thought this thread was about a new Channel 4 documentary but never mind.

If we don't go up - yes.
If we go up - no (unless we have the budget to sign him and loan him out to a League 2 side incase he comes good and rediscovers his goalscoring).
 
Do we really think a player of Jake Cassidy's credibility would have any difficulty in securing a club ?

He has done an incredible job at Southend - yes he could have scored a few goals, however his overall game has secured space for other players to score goals

If we do sign him it would be a coup ! :omg::omg::omg:
 
The way you make up stats and pick and choose when to use/ignore certain facts so that they back up your opinion is priceless.

The goals stat is simply not true- unless of course you are correct and all of the credited websites are all wrong- please give a link to these numbers or admit you are wrong (again)

He also played for a wolves side and Tranmere side that got relegated and therefore clearly were not very good . When your hero Williams went out on loan you blasted the loan as he would have no chance to score because he was playing in a crap team. Noticeable you fail to have the same thought on jake as it doesn't back up your view.

Are you mad ?

Stats from Soccerbase ,his last 87 appearances 5 goals,how on earth have I made up those stats !

no I am not mad - the below is from soccerbase- they don't match what you posted - please enlighten us

Go onto Soccerbase and punch in this season,last season and finally the season before,the answer is there,just look.

Thanks for that - another example of you bending facts. That isn't what you did as you well know . He hasnt played 86 games in the last 3 seasons and he didn't score 5 goals. He played 109 and scored 16. As you say alll of the data is on soccer base. You manipulated the figures by going back to the game AFTER when he last scored in 2012/2013 season . You choose to 'ignore' the start of the same season season when he scored 11 from 22. funny that.

You have a decent argument that he doesn't score enough, but it would carry a lot more weight if you didn't constantly manipulate facts to suit your argument . Again you haven't mentioned about him playing for poor teams like you did for Williams- again funny that

Settle for Cassidy and you settle for mediocrity. I want my team to strive for the very best and not the mediocre.

The problem is we are a league two side without any money.

We aren't going to attract any in form strikers, you have to look at players who you can turn into a star instead.

Casssidy has some history of goalscoring so there was potential there, even if it hasnt been realised with us and may not in the future. I personally wouldn't be blown away by signing him, but in reality what striker would we be blown away by that we could actually bring in?

Being in League One would of course raise or profile somewhat.

This is exactly right. Realistically we will end up with a clear out of strikers this summer again, and be left with just Barry (if he signs a new deal) and Jason Williams who is yet to prove himself, Cassidy would be an excellent squad player at L2 level, and I'd like us to bring in another pacey striker if possible but would be keen to get Cassidy signed up.

If we do go up, I agree with many that at League 1 level we could probably do better. His goal scoring record isn't prolific and we could attract a better class of players and I hope that is what we would do.

I can see us stalling making a move to see where we will be next season and that could be damaging if Cassidy already has other offers coming in, which is likely to be the case.
 
Thats the problem with being in the Play offs sadly, you do have a disadvantage of not knowing what league you are in so planning gets delayed.

Question is then, if we dont think we would sign Cassidy if we were promoted would he really be good enough to sign anyway?
 
Indeed, I'm not sure whether Cassidy will have anyone else lined up. He hasn't really set the world on fire here although i do think once he scores one the flood gates will happen but that is a gamble and will be all depend on where we are next season.

Here are the facts I stated which are facts that you or nobody else can argue with,these facts have not been manipulated in any way they are simply facts.

I stated he had scored 6 from his last 87 appearances,note I used the word LAST.That is a fact !
Jam implied it would be better using his starts only...so I did resulting in his last 67 starts he has scored 6 goals,note the word last again,this is another fact.

Over to you Columbo .
 
I would sign purely on the basis that if not he will sign for another team and regularly score against us.
