In the last close season, when we were naively wondering how we could score enough goals with only Eoin Doyle to get them for us, a player I suggested might be worth a look was Omar Bogle. His great name attracted me, but last season he scored 19 goals for Solihull Moors, this season he's top scorer in his division again and his team is struggling to be halfway up the table. He's only 22. Started out with Birmingham City.
Apparently Port Vale are taking a look at him with a view to signing him this summer. They've done pretty well with signing goalscorers in recent years ...... but so have we. Maybe whilst the Vale are humming and hardy-ha-haing we could just jump in and make an offer for next season he'd find difficult to refuse. Solihull produced Matty Smith after all.
Taking a chance on such players is our only way forward and sometimes you have to be quick and a bit ruthless to make it work. And now we've got a bit of history of giving non-league players a break they should be quite keen to sign.
