What's made you decide he's crap? Jon stead is better than him? Sent from my SM-G900F using proboards Is he? Not from what I've seen. Hanson's goalscoring record is also a lot better. I'm not saying if he does come here he'd be a world beater, I just don't see how he can be written as woeful so easily. We're after a target man, there's not too many of them around and he's been doing the job consistently well for a few years now, albeit at a lower level. To me, he'd be worth a punt, although probably not if figures of £750k are close to the mark.

We need Swansea to buy Rhodes so we can get some money in to buy or loan someone decent. Hanson could do a job but I would hope we are aiming for someone better.

Powell's players have to be defensive minded, tall, quick or have something to do with Charlton. He ticks box 1, so could be on.

Not just about Hanson, but about Hanson and Wells together...but at the right price.. Hanson can hang about the edge of their box as well as Holt did I reckon..

My guess its because he wouldn't be costing millions of pounds that we can't afford, so is therefore a sign of our lack of ambition. If Dean Hoyle was serious about taking this club upwards hed be on the phone to Chelsea to see if Costa is available.

I think Bilo the Bantam once told us that Hanson and Wells was the best strike partnership outside the premiership. Maybe Powell has faith in our Bilo?

Now I'm not genius, but how is Hansons goal scoring record better than Steads? Bearing in mind Stead was playing championship football at Bristol at the time and Hanson has been hanging round the lower leagues except for cup runs. In 63 games for Ipswich, Stead scored 18. I think had Stead played 207 games for either club he'd have easily bagged 58 goals and at a higher level.

I don't know whether this guy would be good for us or not. I've seen him on TV a couple of times and he's seemed a bit of a handful, but little real pace - others that see him live are better judges.
I will say that I like players who have done it the hard way such as Hanson, Holt and Lambert, players who were initially deemed not good enough and have now proved many so-called experts wrong and made a good living out of football.
DATM sinks to a new low though when few are willing to give him any backing before he signs. As long as the powers at our club come to their own decisions and are not swayed by fans forums. I certainly hope that the views of one or two muppets on this board don't have any influence as I suspect that this might be the "go-to" site to test fans' reactions.

As long as we stay up I'm not bothered. Is this guy really going to be an improvement on Stead? Considering Stead has been keeping him out of games at Bradford hasn't he?
The luck we've had this season, staying up will be a feat to celebrate for me.
Not saying we won't stay up or can't stay up, we've had much go against us, injuries, refs, freak late goals.

Is he? Not from what I've seen. Hanson's goalscoring record is also a lot better. I'm not saying if he does come here he'd be a world beater, I just don't see how he can be written as woeful so easily. We're after a target man, there's not too many of them around and he's been doing the job consistently well for a few years now, albeit at a lower level.

I think had Stead played 207 games for either club he'd have easily bagged 58 goals and at a higher level. In his pomp Stead is undoubtedly a better player, on the evidence of his second spell with us those days are long gone. When looking at his record I was taking into account all games Hanson has played, which gives him 70 goals in 214 starts, for a target man that's pretty good. I acknowledge that's at a lower level and there's no guarantee he could make the step, but I just can't see how people can write him off based on his past performances.

More chance of Costa signing under the new Bean Hoyle regime, but no chance under the old KenCo one...
