I want us to sign better than Harrison. I want us to sign a 20+ goal scorer. Im sure we all want this, like every fan at every club obviously. Not settle for someone who cant get 10 goals in a season (Gaffney) or struggles to score just 1 goal in a season (Nichols). Or even struggle to score full stop (Luke James). It could cost the club just a signing on fee if the player is available on a free!! Plenty out there. Plenty of players who are guaranteed to score 20+ goals a season in League 1, and are available on a free? Name one. Fernando Torres?

Would've been sceptical about handing a 3 year deal to a relatively untested 20 year old; best of luck Scunthorpe.

Facundo Ferreyra? Only scored > 20 goals in a season once in his career, so hardly guaranteed. Pass.

So you want us to sign somebody like Harrison or better i.e. 15+ goals a season Div 1 striker? How much is that going to cost the club £500K/£1m as that is surely the minimum we'd hope to get now for Harrison? I want us to sign better than Harrison. I want us to sign a 20+ goal scorer. Im sure we all want this, like every fan at every club obviously. Not settle for someone who cant get 10 goals in a season (Gaffney) or struggles to score just 1 goal in a season (Nichols). Or even struggle to score full stop (Luke James). It could cost the club just a signing on fee if the player is available on a free!! Plenty out there. Until he's played a few games for Rovers we won't know what the new signing is, or isn't capable of doing but the way we operate at present I can't see us signing a player who scored 20+ goals last season in Div 1. A player on a free capable of scoring 15+ goals is most likely going to be a cheaper option to the likes of Harrison or Bodin if thy are under contract.

The only player to have scored over 20 goals in League 1 more than once in the last few years, unless I'm wrong, is Billy Sharp, who cost Sheffield United something like £3M. That's the kind of money you need to spend to get a guaranteed 20+ goal striker.
Some people seem to think that prolific strikers are everywhere, but only 2 or 3 players a season score more than 20 goals a season in League 1, and they tend to play for the clubs with the big budgets.

Players who score 15+ goals in league one every season are very rarely available on a free.

I'm sure we all would like that, but signing one young player who hasn't, doesn't mean we wouldn't be in the market for someone else who has

Billy Sharp cost them about £500k, but I agree with your point. I'm not one of those people that think prolific strikers grow on trees, but there are good ones about on a free that could POTENTIALLY score us 15-20 goals, we might just have to look further afield to find one. Sergio Buenacasa is out of contract at Barakaldo in Spain and with his attributes could potentially score goals at this level Alex Shalk is out of contract at Ross County and with his attributes could potentially score goals at this level. Melvin Platje is out of contract at Telstar in the Dutch 2nd tier and could potentially score goals at this level. Adriano Grimaldi is out of contract at Preussen Munster in Germany and could potentially score goals at this level. There are other good ones about, but some of the better ones on frees have already fixed themselves up with clubs.

Gotta say- if we were interested. A three year contract is quite a commitment.
We don’t tend to give our promotion hero’s more than 2. I wouldn’t have thought we were close based on that. Possibly a significant risk.
