To me, Lavery looks like one of those players that needs to find a club to settle at and play some football. He’s coming into his prime now at 26 and has always had a decent goal scoring record at the numerous clubs he’s been to on loan but for whatever reason has never managed to break through at his parent club. If he comes to us and we give him a run of games, he will score goals, could be an excellent signing to partner JCH with if the rumours are true.

No better than Nichols or Reilly would be very disappointed. Need to get some one who is proven goal scorer hopefully we get Evans in

Have you actually seen him play to decide he’s no better than Nichols or Reilly? Personally I’ll be happy if sign him, I just don’t think the budget will stretch to the likes of Ched Evans and Leon Clarke like a lot of fans are expecting but happy to be proven wrong.

Proven track record I woudnt go that far has never scored double figures in 1 season let alone came close to it. Neither did JCH and he managed double figures for us in under half a season. Nichols, who consistently scored at Peterborough and Exeter, hasn’t exactly set the world alight. Moral of the story? Don’t judge a player by their Wikipedia page.

I can’t pretend like I’m overly excited at the prospect of him being our sole striker signing this summer, however I have no reason not to trust GC’s judgement when it comes to signing attackers so far. As you’ve said, his record at his loan clubs is (mostly) decent & perhaps if he can settle and feel properly ‘wanted’ at his home club then he’ll really kick on. Will give the lad my full support and backing if he does join.

I wouldn't want him here. sh** attitude to women ! leopard doesn't change his spots. I'm really not sure about his attitude towards women, but for me, the leopard quote is an old and outdated quote. As people do and can change. He saw an opportunity to go to a hotel with a mate to shag a very drunk women while his wife was at home twiddling her thumbs !

He saw an opportunity to go to a hotel with a mate to shag a very drunk women while his wife was at home twiddling her thumbs ! Has anyone ever been punished so heavily for poor morality? I think he's been punished enough. The other chap didn't get punished at all despite the offence being because the so called victim was not fit to consent - how could that be the case for one and not the other? A very strange case against a backdrop of political pressure to increase rape conviction rates, everyone wanting to think the worst of footballers and punish them for being young and wealthy and also a media too scared to raise the possibility of a miscarriage of justice due to the nature of the alleged offence. Plenty of papers and TV willing to stand up for murders or terrorists when there is even a hint of wrongful conviction but when it's a footballer and a sex crime no chance - should have saved on the cost of a trial and sent him to prison as it was so obvious there would be a premeditated desire to punish a footballer.

Proven track record I woudnt go that far has never scored double figures in 1 season let alone came close to it. On you tube there is an interview with Wilder discussing what Lavery would bring to Sheffield United when they signed him. My view is that Wilder is a pretty good judge of a player and the various clips of Lavery show what he can do even though he has been farmed out a lot so has not been able to settle. Hence I would not be in the least bit disappointed if the signing turned out to be him and I don’t believe we should turn our noses up and someone who so obviously tries their heart out every game no matter whose shirt he’s wearing or who pays his wages. That already makes him considerably better than the player being replaced! No idea if it is him or someone else mind.

Cant understand logic of buying a player who hasn't scored double figures in league 1.
Would love us to have the ambition and the bottle to sign a player like Ched Evans. Would be hell of a partner for JCH.
We also need some width so hopefully that can be addressed soon.
Wouldn't it be really nice to be playing first game of the season with starting 11 that we are aim for, that is as strong as possible and leaves some time to find some squad players.

Wasn’t so long ago Ched Evans name was mud on here Nah. That was Les Gray, him with shades. "..............that's neat, that's neat, that's neat, that's neat I really love your tiger feet".

Ched Evans raped someone.
He got an overturned ruling in a very strange case within which most of the evidence they had against this 19 year old woman would have been inadmissable in most courtrooms. His legal team was very very expensive and very skilled at finding technicalities to get his conviction overturned.
There is actual concrete CCTV showing her completely out of it, he should have known.
We should not be saying ‘it’s her fault for being drunk, ched has served his time as he’s a good footballer’. We should be holding footballers and men in general responsible as role models and say ‘Don’t rape women, and don’t take advantage of very drunk people who are vulnerable.’
If we signed Ched Evans i’d be very very upset at the club. We are a community based club and that signing would damage our reputation in the footballing world and the local community.

What else can posters judge a player on but his previous goal scoring form, the fact he's never scored more than 5 in a season is shocking for a No 10.

We had the other player with him that night on loan at one point I believe.

With respect, are you really suggesting that we / society should follow your advice and treat him as a guilty man despite the fact that the legal system we all adhere to every day found him not guilty?? Don't get me wrong, I am certainly not suggesting that the legal system in the UK is without fault, but I am suggesting that it's the best we have and (again, with all due respect) is far more accurate barometer of a mans character than your personal opinion.
