Omar Bogle (again)

Very rarely comment on transfer news but was told by someone within the club that contact has been made with both Doncaster and Bogle.

If you want a good striker you have to pay the going rate , Bogle is about the best we could get to come here but only if he wants to, and if the love for him is enough to get him firing again. Early days yet but with the squad we have at the moment we only look like a top 6/7 team .  That for me is poor going any way i look at it. And the way other teams are shaping up it looks like we are down here for the long haul so far

Well welll well, what’s all this then. Some interesting conversations going on here.

Good job I’m on wind down at the moment. If anything comes in within the short time remaining, then I’ll pm one or two of you to let you know.

What I can tell you, is that we have unfortunately missed out on two strikers over a period of the last three weeks. One of which has gone to a NL rival. The other was a a loan from a prominent Championship club

Welcome back, still waiting for n n n nine.

By the way there’s no transfer window in non league. Guess you should probably know that and remember for next time you’re on a “wind down” or wind up which is more fitting.

Andy Cook in return then, scoring for fun at the moment for Bradford.

I'd be surprised. They're only starting with one out and out striker at the minute which is Andy Cook who is in great form. They also signed Caolan Lavery and Lee Angol in pre-season, don't think they'd be looking for a new striker!

Oh the free press article has deflated me.  

Won't happen but it'd be funny if we got him on a 2 year deal, he scores 20+ goals and we sell him AGAIN 😂

The bloke went from the National League North to the Championship in 18 months (scoring 32 in 68 along the way), and some on here absolutely revelled in the fact he didn’t replicate that form straight away for Wigan.

Even as an abject failure in the eyes of some on here, and being in & out of teams, injured and changing clubs every few months, he’s still scored at every club he’s ever played for and averages 1 in 7 for teams playing 2 and 3 divisions higher than where we currently are.

Who have we had in that time? Vernam averaged 1 in 6.5, Jamille Matt averaged 1 in 9, JJ Hooper managed 1 in 6 (including 3 in a dead rubber at FGR & 1 at Newcastle u23s). Only Wes Thomas looked anything like a striker & he couldn’t leave quick enough. These all at League 2.

Bogle would be a step above anyone else in the division. What have Mullin, Quigley, Tshimanga ever done really? A handful of games at League 1 between them, three goals for Mullin a couple of years back. But if we picked any of those up it’d be a “real statement of intent” or one of the fabled “marquee signings”.

I can’t imagine Bogle would ever drop down to this level with us, and it’s only because we have some history with him that we’re even entertaining the thought. So let’s have it right, whatever he’s done since he left us, he’s still a class above the conference.

Didn’t we try and sign him last summer? Seem to remember Runaway playing it down and then all of a sudden it was “We spoke to Omar but he’s not interested.”
