[Sir Dougie Freedman]

So you wouldn't have signed George Boyd or Peter Ward?

Palace fan

 

[B.W.]

Well, it seems that Gus doesn't rate Davies, so this guy may be the next gamble, I suppose...

 

[El Turi]

I'm sure every thread this guy starts links us with players that we never sign or are actually after.

 

[Giraffe]

If he has flat out pace and can finish then he is worth a look for sure. The steo up to League One from the BSqP is not that great. Defo worth a gamble. It's not like we can't afford to try him is it?

 

[murraymints4brighton]

Worth a gamble. I was banging on about getting Morrison from Stevenage for ages and look, he goes to Millwall and scores 10 goals so far. Doesn't Aaron Mclean want to leave Peterborough? Very long shot, but Bloom may have the money and the stadium might convince him.

i wish we listened to you all the time murray..........

 

[BensGrandad]

Sorry forgot OGH

 

[Captain Haddock]

Les Ferdinand and Kevin Phillips also both emerged from the non-league circuit (and both from Hayes if I'm remembering right (LF definately was)).

didnt he start of pretty poor,millwall were on his back,but hasnt stopped scoring since

 

[bhaexpress]

Elder was sold for a profit. You could factor in all of the failures we bought from league clubs, Jason Peake and Mark Farrington for a start.

 

[Father Jack]

Maclean is rated at 4 million by posh. Of Holroyd is out of contract at the end of the season he won't cost much and therefore is worth a gamble.

 

[Boroseagull]

Chris Holroyd is an overrated peice of shit. Seen him twice for Cambridge United against Stevenage and he's done f*** all each time.

If you want decent conference players try

Micheal Bostwick
+
Scott Laird

both of them are at Stevenage and could easily make the step up to League 1in my opinion. Laird is a LB and by far the best in the league, whilst Bostwick is a centre back or a centre mid (better in the midfielder) and has been fantastic for the last season and a bit. Both young around 21 I think

Would suggest them to Palace fans but you know...

Keep your hands off them!!

 

[Sir Dougie Freedman]

Keep your hands off them!!

There's no way Wallace would sell either for under 100K each. It would probably take 250-300K for the pair.

We couldn't afford it no chance!

 

[Screaming J]

If he has flat out pace and can finish then he is worth a look for sure.

If he has flat out pace and can finish I doubt he'd be at Cambridge United!

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

So why was jermaine beckford at wealdsone until he was 23? Pretty sure he had Pace and could finish, and Cambridge are a MUCH bigger club.

 

[folkestonesgull]

Gary Hooper was at Greys a few years back. Plenty of good players in non league to be found

 

[Brian Fantana]

Holroyd does have good pace and good finishing ability, if he managed to maintain it every week then there is no doubt that he would already be playing at a much higher level. Consistency, like many strikers in the lower leagues, is his problem. The hope is that with better service, better coaching and more experience, that he might fulfill his potential. I reckon his worth a gamble, particuarly given him being out of contract soon.

You have to start somewhere.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Poyet has confirmed Cambridge United striker Chris Holroyd is on his list of possible replacements for Craig Davies, who has joined Port Vale on loan.

He said: “He is one of the players on a list up front. On the list you have priorities. That doesn’t mean he is coming or that he is not coming. We will see in the next few days.”

Played against Eastbourne Borough on Saturday, sounds like he missed a few chances:
