won’t wages be too high?James Vaughan out of contract in the summer, could we go back in for him? Wonder if he regrets going to Portsmouth instead in January, yet to score or start them.
we're well overdue to get lucky with signing a (prolific) striker.... an unknown quantity such as Roofe when he came to us, with similar end results, would do nicelywon’t wages be too high?
got a feeling we’ll end up with someone never heard of who will turn out to be a great signing. got to get lucky with a striker soon
Too right, hes worth the moneyMy number one summer signing would be fitness coach Chris Short. Since he joined in November the amount of late goals we’ve scored and fact we are still beating teams when we are a man down due to sending offs can’t all be a coincidence.
I bet KR would like to go back in for Nicky Maynard. Best strike rate in L2 by far. A goal every 132 minutes and 21 in league so far. That is some going since the end of September. Out of contract but he has the option of signing a new one at Bury. Shame we didn't get him at the time. Will be much sought after now.

Jake Payne anyone?
I know im sounding like his agent, but his goals would have had us in the playoffs. A ludicrous decision by Tiger.Yep and KR said as such a few days ago.

He didn't even fit in the team the last time he was here.If you mean Jack Payne, I don't see how he fits into system of play. He doesn't have the physicality to do the pressing job that our players are required to do.
While I'm not exactly Tiger's greatest fan, I can see why he said no. Robinson had been moaning about injuries (perhaps justifiably, perhaps a problem partly of his own making) and wanted to sign another player of dubious fitness - IIRC even stating himself that he could get ten minutes or a quarter of an hour out of Maynard per game! In hindsight it was possibly a mistake (although he is playing a division down against the likes of Notts County and Yeovil!) - but at the time I though it was a sensible decision.I know im sounding like his agent, but his goals would have had us in the playoffs.

relegated with two teams this season - that's some achievement! no thanksJake Payne anyone?
Zerothehero explains well why this decision wasnt made .I know im sounding like his agent, but his goals would have had us in the playoffs. A ludicrous decision by Tiger.
We would also never have signed Sinclair in all probability, who I think has been a good player and has helped stretch defences and pin back teams, as well as scoring a few goals himself. He’s played his part in recent months, but I doubt he’d have been affordable had another wage been going out to Maynard. Sometimes it just clicks for a player. Right club, right time. Maynard has probably found that at Bury this season.While I'm not exactly Tiger's greatest fan, I can see why he said no.

Edit - Just looked at his stats. Before this season (21 goals in 35 matches - excellent!), in the last 6 years before that he had scored 16 goals in 136 matches. Which tells you two things - prior to Bury, he was playing about half the games in any given season (22 or so a year) and scoring at a rate of one goal every eight games and if he'd played every league game that would have been 6 goals. If he had only managed half the games in the season it would have been three! You can see why we didn't sign him.
