Yes, it would be nice to have a natural 20+ goal scorer like Jayden was, but they are very hard to come by and when you do the sharks circle immediately. This has happened throughout my 53 seasons watching City. One of the few to stay when in a rich vein of form was your namesake, Alan. I seem to remember he turned down a move to Peterborough (I think), saying that at 32 he wasn't going to uproot his family. This is my hope with Ryan, if he does suddenly start getting 20+. I hope he will take a lot of persuading to leave because him, (and more importantly his partner, who I believe is from Torquay) want to stay in the area. If Ben Seymour starts to get goals on a regular basis like Ollie and Tommy Nic did, I'm sure he'd be off. Even Jay Stansfield has been lured away when he was a long way from a first team spot and so it seems will young Chrisene. I don't blame anyone for bettering themselves, particularly if they are offered silly money, but it is frustrating. As odd as it may sound, we might stand a better chance of creating a great team that can get us up and challenge for a spot in the Championship if we have five or six players who can get 8 or 10 each and stay under the radar. Lets hope so anyway, after 53 seasons I don't know how many more I have left!
