PaulMat -glad you aren't manager. You can't purely look on stats. Shearer had a relatively baba record at Southampton...yet went for a record transfer fee.
Same principle applies with Worthington and Law. Gallagher would be an absolute class act in this league and with another quality striker we would tear Championship teams apart never mind League one!

Of course you can't just look at stats, but you can't ignore them. Look I'm not saying he wouldn't do a great job for us, but he's still unproven at any level. My worry is the size of the fee, for £1 million, I'd want a player with a proven goal scoring record. For me Gallagher's career could still go two ways, I'm not convinced he's a natural goal scorer who will get 20 goals a season even in this league. If the fee was £500k I'd say it was a good deal.

Premiership proven goal scorers cost more than £1mill, i presume that Clark and the rest obviously reckon they can get the best out of him and he'd fit the bill if we went up, something that a proven scorer from lower down the leagues might not. He's obviously got some class if Blackburn have stuck with him.

Thing is a) we haven't signed him yet :(and b) so we don't know the fee. Also if you look closely into his history ( I've always kept my eye on him for some reason...), he's basically 1 in 3 at Championship level if you remove the Preston spell. At Preston he mainly played on the wing which would explain his awful goalscoring record there. I think with strikers at a premium and given his calibre and reputation £1million is a decent price. It's the about the equivalent of 400-500k back in 92 and we paid Watford 280k for Roberts who had a terrible goal scoring record in the old league two! If we can get him and Dickinson I'll be in dream land!
