To be fair if we offload raggett Curtis and freeman I'll consider the summer a success.
We would have to sign his replacement or replacements before he went £2-2.5 million we could get two decent strikers.
Alfie May last year of contract 500k?
macaulay langstaff 40 goals so far this season for notts county 1 million?
Then you still have some play money to bring in a winger?
The strategy was to by talent to sell at a profit to reinvest in the squad.
May would not fit our style IMO ... too lazy and too slow, and would not fit our high press stategy. Good finisher but a bit of a luxury player that needs need carrying, and at 29 has no resale value.
Langstaff is 26 and never played above non-league level so would be a big gamble at that sort of price. If we had a million to spend on a striker I'd rather sign someone more proven like we did with Bishop. Might might be worth a shout to play alongside Bishop if we could get him for a fraction of that price though.
And both are small strikers so neither replacements for Bishop.
