Local press up here is reporting that you are very close to agreeing a deal to sign our star striker David Goodwillie.
I've enjoyed watching this young player develop into a quality striker over the last couple of seasons.
If you get him, you have my permission to get excited about this signing. And you can look forward to seeing him bang in the goals regularly for you.
I hope you guys get him rather than either Rangers or Celtic. The last thing I want to see is this boy lining up against us.

Haven't seen him play tbh. With it looking likely that Ernie is going to re-sign how will these two gel. Just took a look at his record and he's not exactly prolific

...took a look at his record and he's not exactly prolific
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2009/10 - 13 goals in 40 appearances
2010/11 - 18 goals in 43 appearances
Not bad for a young player (he's only 22 years old) and he won SPFA Young Player of the Year this year, and something similar plus a Scottsh Cup winner's medal the previous year.
What goals to game ratio would you rate as prolific?

I'm not trying to be critical of the boy, I really hope he succeeds and hits it off with Ernie.
I would consider prolific to be a goal every two games.
For the record.
Earnshaw 0.44 goals a game
Goodwillie 0.31 goals a game.

Goodie has been around for a long time. However a regular only for the last two seasons. If you have creative midfielders and good wingers he will get a goal every two games. More intelligent these days and will mature into a good investment.
