BP1960 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 So far, in conjunction with some of my old scouting colleagues, seven forwards have been identified who could do a good job for Latics from January. 1. Premiership club southern u23s, Stocky build, good movement in and around the penalty area, goal poacher. 2. Premiership club southern u23s, 6ft 3ins old fashioned centre forward, decent goal scoring record. 3. Championship club northern u23s, 6ft, very highly rated by fans, good goal scoring record. 4. Championship northern u23s 6ft 3ins, youth international honours, good goal scoring record. 5. Division 2, 6ft 1ins, very mobile, unsettles defenders,decent goal scoring record. 6. Non league, 6ft 5ins, not quick but superb in the air, decent goal scoring record. 7, Non league, Strong, quick, prolific goal scorer. This doesn't mean we will get any of them of course as some will be on good loan wages or fees required, but all are worth enquiries. Who do you fancy from those descriptions?

rudemedic Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 TBH even if they weren't very good, and I doubt that. No self-respecting professional League club can do anything when the 4th choice striker is a 15 year-old. If we aren't going to play any of the potential #MoAL forwards, bar Desire, then we need bodies. If none of the #MoAL forwards who haven't featured in months don't get even on the bench in the next 2 weeks then I think someone on the board needs to point out how bad it looks to #MoAL.

Not many can claim that one. 28 in 66 for us, roughly 1 in 3 for Colchester and Crewe and almost 1 in 2 for Motherwell (but Scottish Leagues don't count). Yup, we carried him alright .
