Not really and can’t be arsed checking but not many 33 year old strikers tend to drop out of League 1 to play in the National league.

He's got 17 in 37 so far, but apparently hasn't performed and isn't living up to expectations. If it's so unthinkable for a 34yo to score 30 goals, what are these expectations that he apparently isn't living up to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine whoever signed him did so thinking 17 goals would be an acceptable haul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not hard, I don't think it is realistic for a guy in his mid 30s to score so frequently, those who signed him obviously did or else they wouldn't have done so.

Some grade a stuff here eyresy. You said he hasn’t lived up to expectations. Just to check, is it your expectation he’s not lived up to or the board’s with his 1 in 2?
