    Yet you want Rose and Maynard from such a poor team?

    Maynard finished second top scorer in the league in a poor team. I don’t want Rose

    We need to be looking to the future. Maynard is just another Donaldson type situation with their best years behind them. A Maynard from 2-3 years ago combined with a Donaldson of 4-5 years ago would be a great pairing for both now and the future. But unfortunately that's not an offer on the table.

    I really hope SMc has one or two strikers in mind who can complement the type we already have in Novak, Donaldson and possible Guthrie. A younger Maynard type player who prefers to play off a target man in the box would be a great acquisition for now and the future. But we can't go around looking at players on the decline to address our current issues. We need a better approach than that.

    Could he be persuaded to fit into our salary cap? ;)

    Maynard is 33 not 90. He has been scoring goals regularly and we want a goal scorer now not next year or the year after.. yes it would be nice to have a younger player coming through as well but We lost Vaughan an experienced striker we now need another

    No. We need a goal scorer not an experienced striker. We already have two experienced strikers and Guthrie (whatever category he fits in).

    I agree with your point that we need to replace Vaughan's goals but that doesn't mean we need another 30+ year old striker.

    I recall some making a similar comment (but not as exaggerated as yours) when we brought in Donaldson. And look at how that has turned out. Even players who have been good in their time start to feel their age, lose a bit of pace and don't recover as well from injuries. A player like Maynard who has relied on his pace and agility around the box could suddenly lose that advantage. Hopefully, SMc will learn from the mistake we made with Donaldson and not fall into the same trap with Maynard especially when the finances are now much tighter.

    But was that great Tingley given how the team was set up? Offensively the majority of the time we were poor as Bowyer set his teams up defensively - is that because of suspect defenders?

    Maynard on a two year contract helps get us up this coming season and he's around to help us consolidate in league one :thumbup:.

    When you are inviting pressure for most of the game as we were last season, even a decent defence will struggle at times.

    I said this to Park the other day; imo, we would be mad to offer him a 2 year deal on what would be a decent whack (because there's no way he'd even consider us if it wasn't). He's made it public he would prefer a club closer to his home. Have we learnt nothing?

    Seems like desperation for a striker is starting to set in with a few on here
    Don't worry guys we have 4 forwards no need for anymore
    There won't be another one coming in

    Last time he played L1 football he managed just 2 goals. Madness to give a 33yr old with that record a two year contract.

    I’d rather take a punt on a young lad on loan. At least there’s an element of the unknown, a chance he might just flourish, rather than a has been. Tired of journeymen strikers plodding round the pitch, picking up a pay cheque, not arsed about being here and/or not able to run. Surely one of our Yorkshire neighbours has a young lad who needs games to test himself out.

    A striker? Given up on a striker. Just given me a guy who's played some of his professional career at right back please.

    This all over. Please, just a right back. Not a centre back who may have played there in a previous life or a utility player bless him. Just a right back in the form of a Stephen Darby or even a Paul Caddis, just someone who knows the art of playing right back.
