Carroll is lucky if he plays 15-20 games a season let alone goals.If Sakho has his back problems sorted he could help us to a good run in.

Some of the names on that list almost made me LOL.
I mean what the fuck were those tight cunts thinking and do we actually employ scouts?

Sakho's ratio is pretty decent.

Why is there no goal per minutes on the pitch stat ? I imaging because that would make things look a little better and that's not the aim is it

We could do with our version of Kevin Phillips. A player just below real international standard who regularly scored in the PL.

Then I found this:
Having scored 40 goals in 59 competitive games in the 1965–66 season and then gone on to make himself a household name by winning the World Cup with England, Hurst was the subject of a £200,000 transfer offer by Manchester United manager Matt Busby – the offer was rejected by Greenwood.[29] He was in the West Ham side which lost the League Cup final 5–3 on aggregate to West Bromwich Albion.

I think Geoff Hurst once scored 36 goals in the old first division?

Ashton would have been hitting the 20 mark most seasons if it wasn't for injuries.
And if sakho was fit as well he would be in the 15 a season bracket.

I think Carroll is capable of 15-20 goals a season if he stays fit, that's been the eternal problem with him but loads mentioned on that list were either unknowns or past it.
Hartson got 24 in all comps that season, remember the top scorers page on Teletext.

Good article. Quality always pays off in any business. But as a business owner (well MD anyway) i know how hard it is to get good people.

Looks like we were looking at the same site at the same time. If I hadn't had to answer the door I'd have posted first.

All of these have scored ten or more in at least one Prem season.
Paolo Di Canio Carlton Cole Frederic Kanoute Frank Lampard John Hartson Tony Cottee Julian Dicks Kevin Nolan Bobby Zamora Jermain Defoe Marlon Harewood Diafra Sakho Dean Ashton Trevor Morley Paulo Wanchope

Yeah just did a bit of homework myself and found that Zamora and Dicks got to 10 as well.
Top 5 Premier goalscorers as follows:
Di Canio 16 Hartson 15 Harewood 14 Cottee 14 Morley 13
Pretty poor when you think about it.

We've never had a striker in the Premier League that's scored 20+ goals in a season.

Would anyone happen to know what players have scored 10+ top flight goals for us since the Premier Leagues inception?
I can only think of Harston, Di Canio, Morley, Cotton, Harewood off the top of my head.
