    Not particularly if you consider how bad Crystal Palaces striking options have been for the last 2 years.

    Yes it must be true that this player will be absolutely rubbish, before seeing him play. You said bogle was out of our reach but when a player is in reach you already doubt him before hes played a minute. Are you ever pleased? Who is your striker for us then?

    Joe Riley played in Man United’s first team at 19. Nuff Said.

    Personally don’t mind the lad coming in if he’s been properly scouted and he fits what we need, still think we need two attackers though even if it sacrifices getting a RB.

    What do we have to lose? He's not going to be on much money (maybe Palace even pay his wages), he's faster than any other striker we've got, and he's got something to prove. Our current top three, look like they are all paid way too much for not trying very hard, and are about as fast as Uncle Tom on his last lap of his garden.

    It's a "yes" from me. Looking forward to seeing someone run with the ball towards the goal for a change.

    Yes and there are plenty of so called big players at this level who flop at other clubs. That’s why it’s important to get the

    No one is saying that it isn't important to get the right striker. We've had since January.

    Nicky Maynard was out of reach and our best striker couldn't wait to get away. What makes you think Bogle is in reach? Unfortunately a 17 year old boy who has never played a league football match is pretty much all we can get.
    There have been plenty of strikers from League 1&2 who have moved around to different clubs this window. We seem to be happy with 3 cart horses and an untested teenager. Yippee. Sorry im not over enthused.

    Even while Vaughan was still here I said I’d have liked to have gone for the lad at Boreham Wood. Cant say I’m not disappointed he’s the sort of investment we should be looking at, and if he did well we’d either get promoted or cash in on him or potentially both like with Wells.

    Gareth Grant must’ve only been a year of two older when he PLAYED for us in the Premier.

    Never heard of this Gordon lad so can’t pass opinion but somebody at Palace must rate him

    Firstly Nicky Maynard wasn't out of reach. Please read this article. https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/18686766.bantams-called-off-maynard-chase-travel-distance/
    And im not entertaining any ideas that its a conspiracy to save face or whatever. It was those kind of signings that got us in this situation.

    And lastly you did not answer my question. Imagine you are the manager of BCAFC. who do *you* want to go for?

    Very unexpected that result - we had beaten them 4-1 four days previous on Boxing Day - then we lost 9-1 on New years eve - suspect some Christmas food and drink might have had something to do with it!!!

    Same Wilsden, I'd love Tshinga to come here. I wouldn't be surprised though if the reason a league 1 or 2 club hasn't snapped him up is because he's on more at Boreham Wood than us or any of our rivals would want or be able to offer him.
