I would have mixed feelings to be honest. He obviously offers more of a goal threat than those we have now, but I would prefer either McNulty or Vassell if we can get them.
As always, it depends if we have a choice.
If we are struggling to pay a percentage of McNulty's wages, it is difficult to see how we could afford Norwood's.
Who is Vassell RLC?
Kyle Vassell, ex-Fleetwood and Blackpool. We have been linked with him as an alternative to McNulty.
Ah ok thanks. On paper McNulty looks the better option in terms of stats but let’s wait and see
I suppose we just have to see. Reading obviously want him out, as he is training with the under 23s, with as little ongoing expense as possible. His track record suggests that he will be on a fair amount.
I don't know the full picture about what's going on at Reading, but if they are in financial difficulties, then I can't see that they'd be prevented from selling an asset, or if another club was offering to play more of his wages, recalling and loaning him out there in the window. Neither do I claim any knowledge of McNulty's special relationship with MM, but would expect him to go where suits him geographically and he gets paid the most.
My point was that season long loans are often only agreed if the parent club accepts that the player will not be recalled and that is written into the loan agreement. Otherwise, it is a six month loan, not a season long loan. Hence, if Reading let McNulty come here, they may have no option but to let him stay here for the full season.
He said we have missed out on targets and have to live within our means financially. It does not sound like McNulty or any similar striker is arriving soon, but hopefully that is not the case.
He was prolific at Blackpool but not elsewhere. Micky may be able to get the best out of him, but who knows? BTW, Darius Vassell is his cousin.
