I think the club is making a sensible choice by taking the road less traveled - and looking at non- league players: you can end up getting a lot of player, for not a lot of money- providing of course you don’t expect every investment to be a “hit”.
I’d love to see us enquire about Michael Cheek ( Bromley). He’s a very different type to Georgie Kelly- but a very clever player and outstanding finisher from what I’ve seen ( admittedly only on the internet). Currently second top scorer in the nationwide league ( after top- scoring last season). He has scored goals throughout his career. Too old at 30? I’d say not- Barry Hayles played for Argyle when aged 36, and Ronaldo is how old?
That’s provided of course that he doesn’t end up at Gillingham- current Bromley manager Andy woodman is reportedly in the midst of protracted talks, with the Kent club.
