I hope I’m wrong but I’d be a bit concerned that he is still playing at that level at 25. I can think of a few big goalscorers coming from lower levels to go on to bigger things such as Charlie Austin, Lee Gregory Jamie Vardg etc but i I think they were picked up by pro clubs in their early 20s. Charlie Austin was also prolific at Poole but Swindon signed him when he was 20ish. Clubs scouting is so good these days surely other clubs have looked at him and decided against it. Anyway we are desperate for goalscorers so if he comes we really need it to work.

Concur but could be a gamble. Mind you it’s about time we had a bit of luck!

It also doesn't mean that he won't.

We're clearly not in the position where we can go and spend money on somebody like, I dunno, Tshimanga. So it makes sense to try to find value from lower down the pyramid.

Can someone fill me in with who Tony Lee is. His current club and any other facts and figures about him

I imagine that 'fee' will be going towards a package for Tony lee....

Another good move. Upwardly mobile club in the division above, and he gets to keep playing with his mate, CLE. Sounds like we're happy with the compensation we agreed, too (Lewis is under 24)

Will be looking out for Stockport's results next season, although I think 8/1 favs is a bit short for a team full of somewhat unproven (in the leage) players.

I have no isssues in players going to another club in the national, if they are being offered more money and in 99 per cent of cases they are then why shouldnt they, its a relatively short career. Although not spoken openly we obviously have a wage ceilling at the club which we will not break to keep a player, as a policy it is as good as any but restricts who you are going to get in terms of class and ability.

Lewis has announced his departure on social media, standard leaving note! Expect an announcement on where over the next couple of days

Totally agree, its a shame that our other local clubs can't loan us players. The quality we had from Argyle in Randell was superb.

Good luck to him. Hope he does well in 'League' football. Makes better sense for him than Wrexham or notts county.

LHE to Stockport

Is that a quote from GJ?

Ah makes sense, I had missed the statement that nothing would be announced until July.

Will have to wait to see who we have on the books before I start setting any expectations.
