Scored loads of goals for Gateshead a few years ago. Incl. one goal against us.

Want him up top with Ruel, not replace him.

Lacking ginjas since offloading Gorman so this does make sense.

Yup forward for a midfielder,makes sense.

Like a car...got the bumpers,no engine (or a low powered one) so should splutter along.

Wasn't it rumoured before on here that we wanted to sign him last season but he chose Motherwell .

He was at Motherwell for a bit. He never broke through to become a regular. He's mediocre at best.

Actually he scored 2 against us in the 3-3 draw in the FA Trophy and 2 more in the replay which we lost 3-2.

Would be a decent signing, clever player with a fair turn of pace and an eye for goal. Would not surprise me to see a forward go now, Harrold, Wilkinson, Angol, Ruel and Johnson is one too many.

Can't see Harrold getting a new deal.

He is fantastically average. A nothing player who gets the odd tap-in. I’d be disappointed if we land him.

Your first sentence is entirely incorrect.

Seems like a typical orient signing in 2020. Mostly failed. Failed a bit more. Due another failure.

Think he may be more of a long term kind of plan signing, with Alabi gone and Harold on his way at the end of the season he’ll probably get a 2 and a half year deal. I’d be happy with him, Ruel, Connor and Angol as our strike force.

4 senior players and 1 youngster for 2 spots is what we're always aiming for, apparently....

It's even more necessary if we're playing with a front 3. And don't forget this is only being done to replace Alabi.

55 Goals in his last 101 League starts at Gateshead, 44 in 78 Motherwell 6 in 12 and Dunde 5 in 11 been on the bench almost 50 times too.

Not sure where we are going to find better.

Based on those stats I would agree with you!

Technically to replace Alabi as well as Harrold who wont get as many starts,so as you were. :)))
