Maybe in pre-season the coaching staff will assess and decide someone like Mackenzie Kirk is ready for the first team?

Can’t get more than the odd few minutes at end of game for a third tier team.  Suggest he has a fair way to go.

We do need cover for Shanks as Tagawa is never going to make it here. Far better he went somewhere he could fit in to how they want to play. Kenny looks a prospect but is on the small side and while I do not advocate humping the ball to a big striker we need someone who can bully defenses and allow him to nip in.

Quite like the look of this guy.

Peter Christiansen (SjonderjyskE) 

Currently 24 and playing in the Danish 2nd tier with 16 goals in 18 appearances. Has a decent record over his youth career too and got on the scoresheet a few times for the side relegated from the Danish top flight. His team look like no mugs and he is banging them in. Really think he could have some useful potential.

Contract runs out at the end of the season, earning an estimated £800pw. Genuinely makes me think of Shankland, or a younger Boyce.

 

 

 

Also like the look of Luca Schuler currently playing in 2.Bundesliga for Magdeburg.

Can't find a decent video on him. Reminds me of a sort of Andy Carroll type player who is big and strong but still agile and quick. 

He's also 24, contract up at the end of the season, estimated earning £3k pw. 

 

Scott Hogan at Birmigham might be a shout too. He'll be earning a bit more than these two but just depends what offers he's got on the table at the end of the season. He's a bit older too at 31, but with his pace and agility will have a couple of years in him yet. Reminds me of Connor Washington if he could finish.

Simms would still cost 3 million he's on a contact 2! He cost Coventry 6 million! How do we pay his wages! 

Our friends are Coventry fans and there problem with Simms is his work rate look at Shankland he’s always coming deep looking for the ball that’s not in Simms game.

What about Will Evans of Newport County. Scored 19 goals one against Manchester United in cup. Worked on a farm. Could be worth a punt might turn out to be a Vardy!

Doubt anyone would pay anything like £6m for Simms at the moment.

£7M was an absolutely crazy fee and his value will have dipped quite significantly this season - and will no doubt continue on a downward trajectory unless he really does something special. Considering Coventry wildly overpaid for him in the first place I think if they were to sell him now they would be incredibly fortunate to recoup half what they paid for him.

They're fighting for promotion to be fair, so it's always going to be difficult for him to get into the starting XI.  It was perhaps not the best move.  Yes it's the Lowland League, but you don't score 30 goals in the first half of the season without having something abouot you.   Maybe Edinburgh City would have been better.

Correct if he don't produce this or next season you will see this drop to 1.5 mill on and out in loan again!
