Tomorrow etc.

I saw you mention earlier what a poor games to goals ratio David Nugent has so it got me thinking, what would be the minimum goal ratio requirement from your point of view before you would consider buying a striker?

All 'fans' do is google the name see the goal ratio and instantly decide whether he's good or rubbish. It's rediculous! Players have to be given a chance. And all the players with proven goal records, we can't afford!

Isolatedforest I agree players need to be given a chance! Trouble is when we do find players ( after getting there chance) that can score our owner sells them! It's fine giving a chance and time to find there feet but we should reap the benefits of our patients.

Red2dead, I agree, which is why we need to keep Britt at all costs!

Maybe other posters do google players, and their goal ratio, i did not.

I was reading a piece about Burkes sale, the players we are linked with, and players we should consider, in amongst it all was Nugents goal ratio.

When i put Nugents goal ratio up i did not put it purely to say look his ratio is rubbish why get him, although it played a large part.

I know Dumitru has not got Championship experience, but he is Younger than Nugent, got a similar goal ratio, and being on loan can get rid if he is no good.

Nugent is obviously older, has been prone to injuries in the past, and although he has got Championship experience his goals ratio is not good considering we would most likely have to buy him, and wages he would expect.

I know a prolific striker would be out of our league money wise unless we were willing to take a risk on someone prolific from a lesser league being able to make the step up.

So goal ratio's are not the only factor in not wanting certain players. I did also did a post about egotistical talented players, and talented players that are physical wrecks.

Demitru has a very similar goals to game ratio as Stuart Pearce, so maybe I'm underestimating him and he will be a great left back 😂😂😂.

Therefore Nugent could be a leftback.

Just for you duck, 4 goals a game.

Some strikers like Nugent should be judged on goals and assists. Not every striker scores 30 goals a season.

Nugent was judged on his goals and assists, that why his present club do not seem to want him.
