We like Alfie and would be happy for him to be a squad option in the Championship

But if enough talent is identified that he becomes superfluous, then thanks for the memories Alfred

I feel like none of the above is controversial

This might be controversial but the Stanno signing never quite sat right with me (as much as I love him) and I think we’d have scored more if Alfie had started every week last year ahead of him

I also think (maybe controversially) that he’s still the best out-and-out striker we’ve got, and is one of those natural goalscorers that, with the right chances, will score at any level

Think it would be a massive mistake to let him go, so hard to find natural goalscorers like that

Closest we’ve had since Kevin Phillips/ Marlon King

He’s not even close to Philips or Marlon.

I like Alfie but he can’t run with the ball, he struggles to pass the ball and he’s too slow to see players runs.

He’s a decent finisher but I really don’t think he will be able to play in the championship.

I watched a load of Kyogo footage last night. I would say 2/3 of his goals look offside when watching for the first time, he plays right on the shoulder of the last defender.

I think I get the Fujimoto interest more now that I’ve seen those Kyogo goals. The footage of Fujimoto indicates that slide rule passes and good weight on them is his biggest strength. The two of them look very well aligned.

The other third of Furuhashi’s goals were from cutbacks. Can see a few Laird assists to him this year.

He was top for assists last season for us.

Poorly worded from me, I didn’t necessarily mean in terms of his levels.

I guess I meant more what he brings: you can rely on him for a goal when you need one.

As an option off the bench, 10 mins to go, when we’re pushing towards the Tilton, I think he’s exactly what you want to bring on, and we’d be stupid to let him go.

Another one that gets double-up on in L1 but won’t in the Championship as well.

More than deserves his chance.

Which merely supports the old adage regarding the value of statistics.

Why did no leading Championship club sign him up when he was younger?

A natural finisher in the Kevin Phillips mould would always be in demand at that level.

and we’d be stupid to let him go.

Not if we buy better options.

Why did no club sign Vardy when he was younger? Leicester waited until he was 25...

And May is now 32.

Leicester were a top Championship side when Vardy went there, at the same age May was at Doncaster in League Two.

He did a good job for us last season but I'm afraid that I can't see him being the player to make a difference for us if we are to challenge at the upper levels of the Championship.

Which is great until you actually watched him play, extremely frustrating at times. The amount of assists he could’ve gotten if he was quick minded could’ve doubled that amount. He was a brilliant signing for league one, I’d love to be wrong but he will be found out in this league.

He probably does, but sadly not with us. We’ve given him just as much as he’s given us and let’s not forget that. If he went to a team that isn’t expecting a top 6 finish next season then I’m sure he’d do okay.

If at any point we’re relying on May to start, which we won’t, then we will drop points next season. We have to be brutal now.

A lot of this is just complete conjecture. Nobody knows how he will do at this level as it's his first time there. Natural goalscorers are just that. Generally doesn't matter what league they are in. Plenty of lower league players like Vardy and Austin etc have done ok even at Premier level

I hear where you are coming from and he might do it but 'plenty' is a stretch and the ones you mentioned were not in their thirties when they first stepped up.

Late starter generally, Alfie.
