He played for a L1 side who will play in the Championship after he's left.
I hope the Championship striker is still alive, or that the other 3 on Ling's list are still being pursued. Howe and Atieno have qualities between them that are valuable at this level, but both have moved around a lot recently and never settled, so are coming here to prove themselves. With Kee also very young, we're going to be relying on players to maintain consistency who in the past haven't done that.
It's very similar to how I perceive our wingers too. Stevens, Macklin and Halpin are all good on their day but haven't shown any regular form to hold down a place in the side. If these 6, plus McPhee (who might be more central) are our attacking options then we're going to need a very solid defence.
