Just read Richard Logan has left Wycombe, perhaps we should offer a short term contract ? could be solution re - forward cover for us ?

I posted about this before he signed for wycombe,people didn't seem too for the idea

I still think he could do a job

I wouldn't say people were definitevely against the prospect. But people have questioned his attitude in the past and maybe this is an issue at Wycombe. Clubs don't normally just release a striker if he hasn't scored in 10 games.

I'd also assume he already has something else lined up, or he wouldn't have agreed to the termination.

Wouldn't mind him, strong, quick, powerful, can finish, ideal replacement for rene!

[ferrarilover]

Hasn't hit the net in 10 games this season, that's a record significantly worse than that of Jarvo.

No, no and no, he is very quick and powerful on his way to the bar, and his best finish is the end of a pint.

Career stats:

Logie 84 goals from 379 apps
Jarvo 27 goals from 207 apps

Logan also puts himself about and contributes to the team effort, whereas Jarvo picks his @rse

Logan was also released by Exeter and now released by Wycombe 3 months into a 6 month contract, if alarm bells aren't ringing they flurking well should be. If like me you have friends who are City fans ask them about Logan and where his favourite resting place is, if not read page 8-9-10 of the thread on Exweb.

Steer well clear is enough said. they both have pretty crap strike rates and our club would be far, far better looking for someone young and hungry to develop and having a look through the Irish and Welsh leagues I.E Eunan O'Kane , Nathan Graig those players are out there.

[Plymouth Gull]

He cannot be any worse than Jarvis.

[Dave]

Indeed Nick, however the point is the club released Atieno for Jarvis what was the point, we could now release Jarvis for Logan again what on earth would the point of that actually be. The past is the "key" Word here, don't look at what Logan did 2-3-4 years ago look at what he is today a player no one wants, if he was up to it Wycombe would be doing what they needed to do to keep him.

Build for the future not from the past, there are plenty of young and very hungry talented players around the upper end of the non-league's and as stated throught he Welsh and Irish premier league's that where we should be looking and the type of player that would be in budget, signing Logan would just be utter desperation.

[AlexGulls]

Agreed forever. If he's been released from a struggling Wycombe team then theres a reason for that. Because he isnt upto it anymore.

[royalgull]

why would Burton release Branston to come to us, because he isn't up to it anymore........

Maybe Logan failed to settle there he was at Exeter a long time and to upsticks and move might have been an issue?

New manager in there might not like him as a player?

Or he isn't up to it anymore like you say?

Who knows. If it's 1 or 2 then Logan would be a reasonable and realistic addition to us. It's probably a sad state of affairs but true, Logan in our squad makes us a better squad.

ideal replacement for rene!

I do worry how relevant this may become in January. Rene's an attractive proposition: just turned 26, playing the best football of his career, with 10 goals in 16 league games this season. Even better, he plays for a club willing to sell players for a fraction that others would. Added bonus: his contract's up at the end of the season.

We need to play on Rene's happy personal life down here (engaged, with a baby due in the next few weeks), and get him signed to a new deal ASAP. Ling suggested a few weeks ago it was too early to discuss contracts. Well, it wasn't last season when talks with Eunan and Ellis began in September.

On Logan, why not invite him to train with us? Ling can assess him - I think we can all see he's a more suitable understudy for Howe in the 4-5-1 system – and see whether there's value there. Getting the best out of players with bad attitudes or low motivation is one of Ling's great strengths, after all.

[Dave]

Well that kind of confims what I have been saying, as Richard Logan is set to sign for Bury...Bury Town that is, glad about this our club has spunked what little cash it has had before on has beens.

[ferrarilover]

Links Dave, links.

Also, see my new thread about Strikers and other things, it will show that Bury Town, mathematically at least, have a decent enough player on their hands.

Matt.
