    I see we are after cole stockton

    Looked him up.

    Only 1 in 4 goals per games over 80 games and his previous teams he never scored more than a single goal. Also Spent years in mon league

    If this is our ambition we have no chance going uo any time soon

    Cole Stockton just went up, under the manager we want, on a miniature budget.

    It's not about individuals, it's about the team, just like under PP.

    Maybe he did but will lightning strike twice? For me, there's better out there and we even released a better player (granted with injury issues) in Novak.

    I'm still hoping we bring back Cook. In the right team he's a proven 20 goal a season man.

    Yeah i hope you are right, but we convince outlves these fantasies every year around this time hahaha

    stats are stats, and lets face it, morcambe scraped through, Newport were much better, and dont remember stocktons name mentioned once in the match

    Very very VERY VEERRRRRRRRY happy to be proved wrong

    There were many better players than Hanson, Ravenhill, Thompson, Atkinson, Connell, and Hines, but they all went up under PP.

    Replacing them with more talented players wouldn't guarantee we'd do better. More important that they suit the manager and his MO.

    It hasn't stopped Morecambe getting promoted with him in the side.

    i read that Cook was on £4000 a week at Mansfield. Another player who's Income is going to be dramatically reduced, or finish up unemployed. Not many clubs in the lower division's can afford that sort of outlay on a single player ,except Salford.

    Not sure why you're throwing Ravenhill, Atkinson, Connell and Hines in there but I do agree with the point you're making.

    Imagine though, a player that suits the managers style AND is more talented? That's where we need to be looking.

    Well he has just finished a season where he has lead the line for a team that just missed out on the autos and managed hopefully by the manager who wants to sign him so unless he has death wish I wouldn’t know any reason why Adams would want to sign him if he is no good

    Cook is a better player would you not agree?

    Straight question.

    The problem with that argument is following the logic we should also be aiming to re sign NKP and Mellor.

    Also, the second part of your point is complete nonsense as managers sign bad players all the time.

    A far better player and a better goal scorer imo.

    It’s obvious that Adams got the best out of players that we were unable to probably why we want him as manager. But the signing of players is down to the manager who has worked with Stockton all season and if he thinks he will fit in to a side aiming for promotion and he has achieved that four times so be it. As for Stockton himself I know nothing about him I hadn’t even heard of him until the speculation started. The whole thing might be nonsense any way

    We will be signing at least three strikers so probably fit both in as for who is the better player Cook has a better record by far but I have seen little of Stockton to make a judgment the incoming manager has.

    Hmmm Not sure about this myself.

    Morecambe for me got lucky. Punching but credit to them.

    As, for the team rather than individuals I am not sure that comment is true. Would Parky's team been anywhere without Wells, Hanson and Jones?

    Would England stand a chance without Kane?

    To be honest the forward is the most important position and we can just be signing Stockton for the hell of it. He has to be good enough for Bradford City and where we want to go.
