Ah, that old chestnut.

Merely playing devils advocate here, I have no idea about the lad but I think it's a valid point.

Will 1 goal every game against part timers equate to a goal every 2 against much higher quality that we so badly need?

He's played four games against league teams this season and scored three goals - against Wycombe, Yeovil and Blackpool.

No. No. No.
You’re wrong I’m afraid. I do know something about him.

• He’s 25.
• He has never played at a higher level than the fifth tier of English football.
• He has had a fantastic season this year with almost a goal to game ratio.

But tell me. If we cannot get a EPL player to perform. What makes you think we could get a non league player to ?

Rather similar to Craig Mackail-Smith (27 yo, 23 when joining P'boro)...also plays similar too him with possibly a bit more skill. Your final line is the problem at City, far easier to get a Jamie Vardy to work for you than Matt Mills.

Having watched him against Yeovil, he looked classy against their defence and apparently in the Conference, it's rather comical on how he slices through defences.

Considering our lack of striker options, he appears a far more sensible gamble than overpaying or having a loanee for a few months. Sign him up, give him half of a season to settle and then a full pre-season to get up to the right speed.

Well in that case, why buy anyone at all? Apparently they're going to be shit regardless of what level they've played at before or what their record as a player is like in your opinion.

Sounds pretty spot on looking at our squad.

Mackie who plays for QPR linked with a £1m move to Cardiff, always looked impressive from the few times i've seen him; think he could do a job here.

Is this the same guy with a similar name who posts on here? Surely we could double that fee, test his ambition and make sure that he prefers us to Cardiff who are languishing in 3rd place with just a mere 11 points more than us.

rumour on twitter (FT) that a fee for Stewart has been agreedwith Dull, maybe bs, but a rumour nonetheless

There's a rumour you can watch the gayly adorned Brighton team without paying an ESPN subscription right now on Sky 134.
Edit: although you're not playing them soon so prob not interested.

Another rumour that Wrexham have taken the lead.

Sounds as solid a rumour as most we hear during a transfer window.

Non league players. We are being linked with non league players.

Is he an Alan Smith or a Nicky Cusack though.
