One of the most underrated strikers we've had in recent years. Miles better than a lot of the dross we'd had up front. But he only scores goals mate. |

How about we all just agree to disagree on each others views guys…..….because a full summer of the ongoing Alfie saga could potentially get a bit painstaking…..😀 That might be the ideal for a message board. But deep down contributors hold views which will only shift once we sign a few players plus play a few games. And why should people shift? For without evidence that's just blind faith! No, let us continue the discussion. But perhaps agree that after ten or 15 games we'll be in a good place to appraise the club. Once again, bookies have us at sixth favourites - will we be higher or lower by end September? |

Just read this on the Huddersfield forum on hearing they have lost out to Birmingham.
Genuinely not one bit bothered myself. Think they've overpaid and he'll be shipped out once they go up! Good poacher but very limited all round footballer. Also saw a stat 17 of his goals came up teams in the bottom half of the table.
Said it myself all season. Good goalscorer but can't outrun defenders, not great in the air, easily knocked off the ball and generally lightweight in a challenge.
They had Jay Stansfield on loan last season who is a championship quality player. Now they have Alfie May.
I hope this doesn't fall through because we have well and truly had their pants down.

I want everything to turn out well for us but there is a lot of what you call "blind faith" about. We cannot know how things will work out until we know who we recruit and have evidence of just how good Jones is as a tactician and man manager. |

Maybe they want o shut the discussion down because people are crying over spilled milk. If it was a will he won't he go I could understand but he's offski and no amount of moaning and digging the club out is going to change that fact.
I mean having a go at NJ five minutes after we saw what Appleton did to is. Come on!
I agree with you in the sense that we cannot know how things will work out until we know who we recruit but the names touted about are being written off already because of teh goals Alfie has scored last season.
They'll be crying out for a statue next to Sam Bartram next!

May has moved on and so will I. My opinion won't change about wanting him to stay but I look forward to those coming in and hope they are all a success. There is a lot of work to do and I am sure we all hoped that more would have been in by now but we are where we are and things will look more positive once more new recruits begin to appear.

Get promoted first and worry about next season later. It's all very well planning for the future but if your future is another season in league one then something is wrong. I really hope I'm proved wrong, I really do, but selling a striker who can score the goals to get out of the league you are in is crazy. Would be like Wrexham selling Mullin. To be fair they may well have overpaid that I am not doubting, in which case fair play to our board. |

They'll be crying out for a statue next to Sam Bartram next! Yet fans will always process arrivals and departures at different speeds. Especially when there are no games being played. Ten years ago we sold Kermorgant and replaced Powell with Riga in the first two months of the year. Some cried and cried despite the fact that we finished the season with 24 points from the last 16 games. Until we see our new look side play a few games under Jones it's impossible to judge how competitive we will be next season. And until we sign some quality players it's hard to know whether we're competitive in the market. Fortunately we only need three or four decent players to complete the squad. |

Sorry mate but Alfie is not in the same league as Mullin. Ridiculous comment. Really? How would you know what have you got to back that up with? You are the one obsessed with stats, so go and check them out know all. I have seen both players and Mullin is by far superior. Season 2020-21 Cheltenham win the league with 82 points with Cambridge runners-up on 80. Cheltenham top scorer, Alfie May, 9 goals -v- Paul Mullin 32 goals. Mullin scored 24 goals for Wrexham last season, one more than what Alfie has ever scored at that level and he even missed the first eight games with a punctured lung! I won't bother mentioning the other 66 goals in seasons 2021-22 and 2022-2023 because I'm sure you will tell me they were in the National League so don't count but infact they do because they are included in club records. 128 goals in his last 166 games which is phenomenal. Championship clubs queing up for him, one who they have not named have already had a 2m bid turned down but he won't leave because he doesn't have to. He's on 10k a week and 45 minutes from his Liverpool home. |

Birmingham are rumoured to be signing Mike Eerdhuijzen a centre half from Sparta Rotterdam who finished 7 points off of European qualification in the dutch top flight, for 2 mil. Birmingham are shopping in a different market to us and will be strong this year.

Meh not sure about that mate, Mullin is a class act and has far more to his game than Alfie to be honest with you. He'll score more than Alfie next season and I will double goals for pounds for the upbeats. |

He'll score more than Alfie next season and I will double goals for pounds for the upbeats. I meant in the way Mullin is their main man for goals and May is ours, so May is in affect our Mullin. I know Wrexham also have Elliot Lee for goals but we have no one who scores that many to help May. Wrexham would unlikely be where they are now without Mullin and we wouldn't be in League One still if not for May last season, that's what I mean by May is our Mullin. If Mullin was sold now I'm sure Wrexham fans would be feeling the same as us right now. I really do hope you are right and the people we bring in replace the goals we will lose when May goes. We need to add goals from other areas of the pitch too, because I doubt we will be getting a 20 goal a season striker in for May... Again I hope I'm wrong. |

If you are referring to me then I wouldn’t dream of wanting to shut down discussion…. I was just refferring to Dick and Valleyfaithful having a bit of a jousting match going backwards and forwards having the same argument/s over the value of keeping or offloading Alfie……..sometimes in life when opinions are so polar opposite maybe you just have to agree to disagree on the subject….. The subject of Alfie will no doubt continue to come up on most match days if we don’t win/ how Alfie does at Brum………same as with George…… |

Birmingham are shopping in a different market to us and will be strong this year. That’s a hell of a lot of pressure on Birmingham to go up this season if they are doing a major Ipswich on steroids…..Their fans have been through the wringer over the last season so if it goes pear shaped it will go toxic very very quickly…..Birmingham will be every league one teams cup final every weekend….. |

There you go, straight from the horse's mouth! Thanks, Alfie. Can we now move on from the "should have kept him" and "madness selling him" crowd? It's time to move on.
