Do you think we might take a risk on this promising young striker from the Conference South?

Magpies accept two 'record' bids for Dicko From Dorset Echo)

He'd certainly fit into our existing wage structure!

Chris Holrolyd looked mustard in the division above that, and we are now a division higher than when that gamble failed to work out. It's a BIG jump for the player, so no, I don't think we'll be making a move for him.

I don't see why not. Just because Holroyd didn't work out, doesn't mean the idea is flawed. Take a punt, I say.

Exactly. Some work out Ian Wright Wright Wright for example and some dont like Holroyd.

 

[Rusthall Seagull]

No chance, we are a big club now.

Charlie Austin was plucked from the Wessex League, three leagues below Conference South, and he's made the grade at our level.

He's 18. He'll probably sign, but almost certainly go straight into the development squad.

He's 18. He'll probably sign, but almost certainly go straight into the development squad.

Record fee for Dorchester it says, which means over £115k. Quite a bit for a development squad player so presumably Gus sees good things in him.

He's 18. He'll probably sign, but almost certainly go straight into the development squad.

I wouldn't bet against it after what Poyet has said about our wage structure. Probably all we can afford

Do you know what? I think we might (take a risk etc etc)...

let's do something..............

Fair point, I just think it's a very big jump. Sure, some work out, but very few when they jump THAT far in one leap. CMS and McLean both went from non-league to peterborough for instance, but I do think that was only 1 division, whereas this is 4 divisions. When you see the difference in some players between League One and teh Championship, that just seems a lot to ask of the lad.

Dicker, Dickenson...

If only we still had Dickinson, Dixon and Cox.

Bozzer in sounding like a man in the know who might not be in the know shocker.

I think that's a fair comment if the player is into his 20s. If he's only got to the Conference South at 25, how likely would he be to make the step up in class.

If the player is only 18, he's still developing, and could very feasibly have it in him to reach a much higher level.

sounds suitable to me...................he's injured at the mo' ...................

Perfect then...i knew Gus would get his man!!

 

[Wilka]

Have I missed the bit saying we are one of the two clubs who have bid?

They met at the hospital.
