Mallik Wilks Hull. 22 year old, 20 goals, 4 assists, fast player who comfortable wide in a front 3. Seems ideal to what we need.
Stephen Humphrys - Rochdale Age 23 years. He shone playing for Southend in their horrendous 2019/20 season, and he has sparkled again in struggling Rochdale side. HE can score goals in a relegation battle, how can he do in good team. Can score with both feet, can dribble and will work in a front 3. Definitely worth a gamble.
Yerry Yates Blackpool. 24 year old hard working striker who has lots of energy and gives defenders a hard time with his pressing. As added goals to his name now (18 this season), and has been linked to Forest.
Dion Charles - Accrington Stanley. 25 yr old with 17 goals to his name this season. Was in National League North in 2019 and since then hit gone from strength to strength.
Joe Piggott - 27 year old. Not quite sure on him, but is an unselfish all rounder who got 10 goals before Christmas, with right service (feed the pig) may do better, but can he make the step up?
Matt Jay Exeter, 25 years old. 17 goals. 7 assists so far this season, 68% conversion rate. Experienced in lower leagues, can he follow in the footsteps of Ollie Watkins and score in the Championship?
Luke Jephcott - Plymouth. Scored a plenty of goals, but was distracted in January by potential transfer rumours (including NFFC) a poacher who is valued at £5m by the The Pilgrims, I wouldn’t pay more than £500k (lacks pace)
Charlie Wyke - Sunderland, Age 28. Finally in the goals this season, but I wouldn’t go for him if he was available.
Kyle Joseph - 19 year old and highly rated at Wigan. Scored 5 goals in 14 games this season, Scotland u19 and has been watched by the likes of Spurs. Could be one for the future.
Daryl Dike - 20 year old powerful striker on loan at Barnsley from Orlando Pirates. Whoever been in charge of recruitment at Barnsley need to a pat on the back, This outstanding striker from the US only came in January on loan and hit 8 goals and is on less wages than our 38 year old experienced striker Murray (sums up our recruitment). Dike does have a high Release Clause, but worth looking at if Barnsley don’t go up
Sirki Demble (Peterboro)) Great potential, can play on either wing or number 10. Fast, Maverick, can score goals and looking to move on from Pompey, he could be a great investment now
I just watched Humphrys on the YouTube and he scored some good goals with both feet. Reading about him, it's quite a story, he was a teenager at Fulham but admitted he got too big for his boots. Dropped down the leagues and had 15 bones in his face broken whilst scoring.
“I had broken 15 bones in my face. When they operated, they had to remove my eyeball from its socket so it was resting on my face while they did it,” he said.
“My surgeon at the time told me I needed 12 months of no running, no bike work and told me to do absolutely nothing. He told me to stay in bed for the first few months and do nothing for a year."
He had surgery early March 2019, but 8 weeks later was back in training. Southend pressured him to go back, said he wouldn't be paid if he missed training. They weren't being paid regularly at the time anyway and he had to borrow money from his grandparents. Came off the bench wearing a mask to score the winner to keep them (Southend) up in May.
It's disgusting that Southend pressured him like that, but these experiences can make someone grow up and focus. He just might have something about him. Forest have apparently been 'keeping tabs on him' according to the usual clickbait sites.
