according to Sky Sports news , Blackburn and Preston are both tracking Tom Eaves ( Gillingham ) who is the leading goalscorer in league one........

perhaps not... he had his chance at Bolton previously.

And Maguire fluffed his lines while at Accy and West Ham but (injuries aside) he clearly has the ability at this level.

Could easily be another Doyle but maybe not.
 
A decent player in a poor team will often be overlooked. We know league 1 is not as good as the championship, but any player banging them in at that level deserves more than one chance at ours. Bolton were, and still are a poor championship team. We should look again.
 
Character wise he is a good lad and team man.... and his game has developed.

Seasons ago he was the only one to give us problems in a poor Shrewsbury side,

If AN wants a target man (still) then Tom is probably cheaper than Moore.

Yes I remember him having a good game against us at their place only a young lad at the time but Hugolesque is how I would describe him.
 
His penalty on Saturday went over the stands but looked ok otherwise. Tall, rangy with better touch than Hugill but not as dominant in the air as Keiffer Moore imo.
 
I would have said, from memory, that Eaves is mobile and 2 footed..... his quality I cant vouch for but he isnt a static beanpole.

Magonis is just battering ram and quickly fell out of the Bolton team when 'bully tactics' didnt work against better CH's......

ameobi would be good company for mthe medical staff

Eaves is a scouser and Liverpool fan, as is his dad, so the chance to play for Gerrard will trump every other offer....if the Rangers story is true...

I didnt realise that Rangers were interested.. If true, you are probably right about him choosing there........
 
Given Rangers have Lafferty I can't imagine them going for Eaves. I doubt he's good enough if they want to genuinely compete with Celtic (but neither is Lafferty).

Eaves would be a classic PNE gamble and given the paucity of big lads that score and might be interested in joining us, interest him would be no surprise at all.

If he's not good enough for Rangers then i don't think he's good enough for us ifwe have plans in the future of promotion.
 
Considering we don't look abroad then our options for an affordable, goal-scoring target man are massively limited.

Even if he's not good enough, he might be the best we can afford which makes me think the loan market is our best bet.

I don't rate him too high but at least Gary Madine has scored goals at this level.
