Dan Scarr and now Dane Scarlett?

That AI is simply working its way through the phone book

[Sutekh]

If he signs, I think we should make him captain.

Yeah, that Tweet from O'Rourke is terrible. Says these clubs are looking at these 3 strikers, not that all the clubs are looking at all 3 of them.

Other than two good seasons at England youth levels, he's got a pretty shit record for a striker.

[South Coast Royal]

He has been around a bit and not a great scoring record.
He does however fall into the category of once being highly regarded so wouldn't be surprised if we went for him.

[Sutekh]

Kanu preferred of the two I think.

[From Despair To Where?]

Was tipped as the next Harry Kane about 5 years ago (and to be fair he was on FM) but his goalscoring record in real life is pretty dire.

This is the actual Pete O'Rourke quote -

Charlton’s Daniel Kanu, Spurs’ Dane Scarlett and Villa’s Rory Wilson are on the radar for several League One clubs, including Reading, Huddersfield, Notts County, Leyton Orient, Burton + Wimbledon as they look to bring in new strikers.

I don't necessarily read that as Reading are interested in Dane Scarlett but at least one of the six teams listed is interested in one of the three players listed

[Hound]

Yeah I don’t read that as necessarily saying we are interested in him

He’d be worth a look if he was cheap though

Yep, its a terrible tweet. Essentially, these 3 strikers are available, these clubs need a striker, lets put all the info in one tweet for more engagement.

Now of course, you would hope we aren't just looking at Kanu and no other striker but still...

[Sutekh]

Rory Wilson has been prolific at junior level but has found things much harder as he progressed up the age groups. Scored none at all in 5 league games on loan to Sturm Graz but scored 14 in 13 u17 caps for Scotland. He is now 20.

Still think Kanu is the best option.

Spurs were still including Scarlett in squads last year

There must be something there but he needs to realise it sooner rather than later certainly. 22 now

He's potentially one of those players who has not kicked on because he doesn't have a "home".

Been clear for a long time that he was never going to make it at Spurs so has just been on the loan merry-go-round - he needs a complete break from Spurs and a proper deal somewhere - if that fails then he goes down as one of those talented kids, who looked good at under 18 but never had the skill set to handle the senior game and ends up playing National League South.

[The Cap]

If he signs, I think we should make him captain.

Very subtle with that one Sutekh

I didn't think it was subtle but maybe that makes me old? Probably a joke that would go over the head of lots of fans under 30

He was once a real prospect. Just didn’t kick on.

Rumour is we might be getting Paul Metcalfe instead.

An indestructible striker ….. every team needs one
