Langstaff move

Notts County are going for back to back promotions and he's a huge part of their team, they'll probably fight tooth and nail to keep him.

They wouldn't want to lose him, but not a chance a League 2 club could turn down a decent fee. That's football sadly.

And with Boro being his hometown club, sure he'll have his head turned?

I'd say he'd be worth a punt, but does he fit our transfer model 🤔🤔
 
Not sure he would be good enough but he keeps scoring, that's 3 levels in a row now. I'm sure we must have considered him with his background.
 
He`s good in Division Four, but its one hell of a risk for a player that`s never played League football until this season..
He`s 27 in February.
He`s got the pace of a whippet, constantly puts defenders under pressure, tracks back and can run all day.
Frankly, I couldnt seen Championship Teams like Leicester, Ipswich, Southampton, Leeds, et al, giving him the time and space he`s getting in the fourth tier.
Not for me.

Jake Young, Matt Smith and Isaac Olaofe have better scoring rates per 90 than Langstaff.

His record is remarkable tbf. Especially given the fact he doesn't take penalties for Notts County.

But I think at 27, it would be too much of a gamble.

He takes every chance he gets and often will just clip the bar or get a shot saved. To be fair - you could add another ten to that.
 
Bernie Slaven came from a league that was part time, he played in front of 400 regular fans. He probably stepped up five leagues to play for us. He was nearly 25 when he signed. He obviously improved when he came to England. The issue is can Langstaff improve. He has already proved he can score in Division 2 and the National League.

We do have Gilbert and Coburn as development strikers and possibly Rogers and Silvera. We signed Gilbert ans paid a small fee and he had no scoring record. My thoughts is we need to strengthen the defence and midfield first.
 
Seen him live a few times. He's excellent for County but not anywhere near our level.

Pace of a whippe? . Are you sure? . Doesnt look that quick to me.
 
No Chance. He is currently playing well in a team and system set up for him to excel in. Would be nowhere near the level we would need him to be with the requisite skills to thrive in Carrick's chosen style and formation. I'd love to be wrong mind, and see him smash it at championship and above, I just don't see it.
 
I think that last 4 or 5 games have shown we can't make it with our depleted team.
If we do plan on cementing top 6 we need a couple of quality signings /loans to get us over the line....
It's going to be an Interetsing 2024
I'm feeling deflated after Bristol...Stoke.. Plymouth.... leicester was a very well recieved tonic .....

and i saw a stat that said we have 2 clean sheets in last 35 away games.
That's pretty staggering.
So I think our defensive unit ( other than dieng) needs bolstering with some quality.
Our current back 4 is too fragile..
