Signing JCH would be a big and expensive move backwards IMHO. Let Matt Taylor sign his own players and give him a chance with his own team next season.

I remember well JCH playing for us. Thuggish and petulant, a physical presence who demanded to score, he was our best threat on goal at times. I wonder whether he's peaked. His potential return doesn't enthuse me as much as it does some. I hope Rovers are scouting young players I've not heard of to surprise us. We want people back too much, I think. Unless they're our own, like Lines or Clarke, I don't think it's the way.

We have no say in who MT signs Epping and JCH might be on MTs radar. He'll want experience to go with the younger players and of course goals come in handy. |

What calibre of strikers are you expecting us to sign if you wouldn't be happy with JCH? Given the owners are already dampening down supporters expectations with a "reasonable" budget available to Matt Taylor next season, I would find it very surprising if a large chunk of it went on JCH. Thanks for the memories Jason, But it's a 'no' from me. What 'calibre' of striker should we be looking for? One that is guaranteed to score at least 20 goals a season. Oopsy. That doesn't exist. |

It will be interesting to see whether our former owner child like follows any intended whispered summer signing by immediately following that player on Instagram and giving the game away. The manager should be warned about this football selfie collector,he is unlikely ever to come across anything like it before.

IF he were that good, then why at the new year transfer window, when ferguson was wanting him gone, was there not an avalanche of interest in the bloke? |

Big no from me, already been here and done it, has nothing to prove, we would over rely on him. |

Understand why some say no. Exactly the type of player we need though, strength and muscle is what we’re missing

I've no objection to a younger, hungrier, JCH-like centre forward. None at all!

No from me , I just don’t think you should go back , normally doesn’t end well . Yep - agree especially if we have to pay £800k+ for the privilege. There are younger hungrier forwards out there that we could get for less. We also ought to be able to get several players for that sort of outlay Of BT’s list Macaulay Langstaff is the one I would like but may be out of our price range. At non-league level I would run the rule over the 3 Worcester City players Belmonte, Hart and Lockett. Ok gulf in class between the level they have played at this season and L1, but possible that at least one of them could bridge the gap |

This poignant line seems to encapsulate the internal struggle faced by someone who occupies a role that provides financial stability but takes a toll on their inner self. The speaker acknowledges the practical benefits of their position, yet the emotional cost weighs heavily on them.
Lawrence Shankland, a Scottish footballer, has become a symbol in this context. His name is associated with both talent and sacrifice. Perhaps he, too, has felt the conflict between material gain and spiritual fulfillment.
In the realm of football, where passion meets profession, Shankland’s journey mirrors this sentiment. His remarkable performances on the field may bring success and recognition, but at what cost to his soul? The pursuit of goals—both literal and metaphorical—can be a double-edged sword.
So, as we contemplate Shankland’s path, we recognize that sometimes the price we pay for our endeavors extends beyond mere currency. It reaches into the depths of our being, leaving us to ponder whether the trade-off is worth it.
“Frankly, Lawrence Shankland, this position I’ve held, it pays my way but it corrodes my soul.”
