Wouldn't Crawley count as local? Perhaps it's Izale McLeod? I wish.....

That's a bit optimistic....You're deluded if you think we'll sign McLeod

Scored 13 3 years ago which is a decent return, then 21 which is very good. Only got 9 last season but Orient were a mess.
We arent going to get many strikers we can bring in with records of scoring more than 40 goals in 3 seasons.

The two I've seen us strongly linked with are Mooney and Stephen Dobbie. We'll see though.

No he would be to expensive they want 75 pound a ticket to see him at the Cliffs Pavilion in November .

I'd be extremely happy if that was the case.. but I'd feel far more comfortable if it was a year deal with an option for a second.

Stephen Dobbie scored 4 in 27 for Fleetwood last season.. Surely we can do better than that?

Gutted not to have got Williams. Think he's about as good as we could hope for. Mooney isn't the same level.

Realistically we were never going to be in with a shout of someone like Williams IMHO. He'd be way above our wage structure.

Technically he is a very good player though. It wasn't so long ago that he was the standout player in the championship. I think he could prove very useful, and he's a number 10 and not a striker like some am have suggested.

And it's all about what formation you play, what striking partner is there and how attacking is the midfield for example. Goals are nice (necessary actually) but there is more than that to a player's game.
I think this is a big decision for Brown. Does he want to stick with 4-4-2 and try to look for a good partnership and strikers who can play alongside each other well or does he prioritise the kind of strikers who fit his preferred 4-5-1 and can play up top on their own. Predict it'll be a bit of both but given a completely clean slate he's got the opportunity to really make it his own.

I might be wrong, but I don't think he was playing as a striker for Fleetwood, he was playing in midfield. He was a very good striker when he left Scotland and in some ways he was unlucky in that his clubs (Swansea and Palace) spent money to kick on and left him surplus to requirements (let's not forget both of them have gone on to do well in the Prem).
He's not Premiership class, but if he's anything like the player he was when at QOTS, Swansea and Blackpool he'd be a great signing at this level.

Just been reading a bit about what Justin Edinburgh saying in local press. Gills desperate to sign up Egan as Championship clubs poking around, it looks as though Cody Mc Donald wont be coming our way.
I noted Justin strongly indicated the importance of having 4 STRIKERS in this league and is currently trying to get their fourth in.
Overall to get us up to last years squad we need to bring in about 8 players to strengthen, ( Brown says 5 or 6) Yes I am aware of the cash issue and maybe we will drop to mid table as far as payers goes, But at one point with loaness we got up towards 28 players, which folks on here rightly and generally thought was too many. Another 8 still leaves us short of that number even if we allow for in house players yet to sign. Discount Williams for the moment and 4 of the newcomers should be strikers, but dont hold your breath as we have a had such success with a plethora of coaches at the club with such a defensive mindset and culture it seems unlikely, but would be nice to be wrong

Indeed, and no senior striker is going to sign if we already have 3 on the books.
