[quote="Vice President"]I can't help thinking that some people are over-rating Danny Rose. £400k? Well why are clubs not prepared to pay our valuation? And how much did we get for Lee Angol? (i.e. a player with a similar strike ratio, and a track record in league one).
Danny Rose is a decent player, but compared to some of the strikers we have had before, he is yet to really prove himself. In my opinion he is not as good as Matt Green. (A proven goal scorer that the club wrongly discarded - as Lincoln can testify).
I said at the beginning of last season that Steve Evans failed to address our striker situation, and that we would not get promoted as a result. (McNulty would have changed all that). I feel a sense of deja-vu this season. ....... with or without Danny Rose.
Our striker situation, coupled with our defensive formation of 3 at the back could be our undoing this season.
That said, I like David Flitcroft - and I think that we will play some decent football under him. (I am just not expecting promotion this season, as things stand at the moment - I really hope that I am proved
Lincoln may well testify but they will also testify that lots of players scored more goals than Green last season including Hemmings and Rose .
Greens best period was in the Conference . Saying that , I wouldn't mind Green still being with us .
