When people talk about 'creative' midfielders i assume they primarily mean people who chip in with goals and assists (or 'goal involvements' as the two combined are known). I thought I'd do a very quick check of how creative our current midfielders are on that basis, alongside some more 'creative' free agents who are either still available or just recently snapped up. To keep things simple I've used the stats on Transfermarkt and am going by total minutes played rather than appearances (since a full game provides ten times as much opportunity for goal involvements as a 9 minute sub appearance). Do note that these stats cover all divisions plus cup games and (for players at Premier League clubs) some U21/U18 league stuff. Also, bear in mind they count playing a full game as 90 minutes (even though it's closer to 100 these days). Still, that makes it easier to calculate these per minute figures into per game terms: 270 is a goal involvement every three games, 360 is every four, 450 is every five, and so on. Here we go then and remember lower numbers are better as this is the number of minutes played per goal or assist. CURRENT PLAYERS Luke Berry: 265 minutes (467 apps, 88 goals, 35 assists) Greg Docherty: 307 minutes (335 apps, 29 goals, 44 assists) Karoy Anderson: 423 minutes (42 apps, 3 goals, 4 assists) Allan Campbell: 525 minutes (262 apps, 23 goals, 16 assists) Conor Coventry: 614 minutes (193 apps, 12 goals, 13 assists) Terry Taylor: 803 minutes (140 apps, 1 goal, 11 assists) FREE AGENTS Scott Fraser: 205 minutes (387 apps, 61 goals, 78 assists) Marcus Browne: 217 minutes (190 apps, 32 goals, 22 assists) Fred Onyedinma*: 248 minutes (343 apps, 40 goals, 34 assists) Daniel Johnson*: 259 minutes (469 apps, 80 goals, 57 assists) *Onyedinma recently signed for Wycombe. Presumably (given NJ knows him well) we either chose not to go for him or were outbid on wages. Johnson recently joined a club in Turkey. Basically, the only free agent AMs out there with a decent track record at this level are Fraser and Browne. Fraser has the better stats - maybe we should go for him? Interesting analysis - thank you..not sure about this Fraser chap though!  I am. I’m quite sure about him. 😂 |

Stockport re-sign Louie Barry on loan from Aston Villa. I gave his name to Andy Scott at Carlise last season. There were three people in the Charlton section of it, him, me and my mate. www.stockportcounty.com/louie-barry-returns-to-edgeley-park/He told me he knows all about him, of course you do Andy!! Meanwhile Wrexham sign Plymouth CB Dan Scarr who played over 30 games for them last season. www.pafc.co.uk/news/dan-scarr-leaves-argyleThat's a very good signing to be honest with you. The race for players is hotting up now and as usual we are being left behind. I see Louie Barry is top scorer in L1 already this season. Like I said above, Scott didn't flinch when I gave him his name but that may have been because NJ doesn't want loans. I think Barry leading the way with almost a goal a game shows what a mistake that is. |

You are definitely the man for all of the updates on the U21's. Well done BB for providing info on CAFC rather than other clubs. Has been impressive in the 3 matches I have seen him play in. |

We got him lads! Rejoice!
But yeah, Welcome I guess! Player coach. Hopefully more coach than player as I don’t see him getting ahead of anyone.
Might mean Kanu goes out on loan?

So including TC and with Leaburn to come back, that's seven strikers in the squad and thats excluding the U21's. Got to think that the numbers will be trimmed down and I would guess Kanu is at the top of any list. |

With Miles if our medical team can help keep him injury free, he buys into the Nathan approach and Hyltons shithousery lessons we're going to have some player entering the fray

Think that’,l be a good move for him if he can play regularly. Certainly a player there. Need to work on his defensive side for me. Positional awareness is key. He’s got great ability going forwards and crossing. |

He needs to play regular football to help his development.
Bleeding cold up there during the winter though.

Dundee are set to sign Scott Fraser. The Dark Blues are closing in on a deal for Tony Docherty’s long-term target. The 29-year-old, who is set to sign a deal for the season, is a free agent after he terminated his contract with Charlton on transfer deadline day

I'm sure he has a nice lump in his pocket from his payoff from us. He won't be having to shop at Aldi! |
