Potential new striker or a waste of time?

According to David Thomas in today's HE Jamie Cureton is on CH's radar as are Jack Midson and Deane Smalley. If you believe the story it's between us and Bristol Rovers for Cureton.
Interestingly Hargreaves and Midson played in the same Oxford team so maybe Midson could be persuaded to move to Devon.

I don't want Smalley, he's **** crap.

Agreed, he used to be good but I'm not sure any more. The other two would be good signings though, especially Midson.

Is this someting we are pursuing Matt?

First glance I thought we were looking at Marlon Devonish or Devon Malcolm, but I can't make that one out. Is he any good? I'd be happy with Midson.

Fine, if you're a big city boy and you want to head to the bright lights of London, you go with my blessing, but anyone who actively wants to live in the grim north or some Bedfordshire shithole instead of here should be sectioned immediately.

I've never been to Guernsey (worth a visit?), but I can't believe that it's too much different from here, not really.

Matt.

I may be wrong, and it am sure Scott will correct me, but one of the differences between Torbay and Guernsey is that the Mancs, Scousers and Weegies that come to live in Torbay tend to be like cast offs from Shameless whereas those who go to Guernsey are millionaires.

Yeah, I'll credit you with that. Do what I do, live a short distance away among swathes of middle class people and commute in for games.

Rob, were you ever in the Armed Forces?

I would actually be happy if Cureton went to Bristol Rovers. Brilliant for Exeter but seems to fail everywhere else he goes.
Five years past his sell by date.

I would prefer Midson who always looks a dangerous player whenever I have seen him - he is good at tennis as well.

Code breaker? It's not one of either Guy Whittingham, Phil Stant or Iain Dowie, is it? Bit past their best now.

The problem with that article for me is David Thomas's constant use of the misleading 'goals scored against games started stat' e.g. 42 goals in 111 starts. I hate that use of statistics because it is a crock of shit as it includes goals scored as a sub against the only the games started, hence not counting the sub appearances in which some of those goals would have been scored.

It is misleading and it should be banned!
