Today, it has been reported that Swindon Town are bidding for former Aldershot striker Marvin Morgan.
The 25 year old striker is currently on loan at Dagenham & Redbridge, and is out of contract at the end of the month.
I'm not too convinced that he is the sort of player we should be going for, if we are to strive for promotion next season. He has a good record in non-league, but in League Two he hasn't scored more than 15 league goals in a season which would be a necessity if he is to be a first-choice striker in a promotion-chasing team. Plus, he is quite temperamental (he once posted on Twitter that he hoped Aldershot Town fans would die after they booed him at Aldershot's game against Hereford, which they lost 2-1) and if he fell out with the equally fiery Paolo Di Canio there would only be one winner.
Aldershot Town clearly don't rate him, so why should Swindon Town rate him when we're supposed to be a better side than them (no disrespect intended!) There are better targets out there like Dean Bowditch and Chris Zebroski, so I am a bit disappointed that the club seems to be going for cheap cast-offs once again.
