That GH was looking to bring in on loan but couldn't afford (see SAM).

Could we not each donate an extra £1 at the turnstile/or throw it into a half-time 'striker bucket' to cover the shortfall?

Sounds good to me.

That or perhaps some other sort of fund could be started

To be honest, having fans pay for a specific player - however well intentioned - could be more trouble than its worth.

Firstly, his wages are probably going to have to be in the public domain so that the money donated is accounted for.  I don't think the club would be comfortable with this.

Secondly, some fans could view and treat him differently from the other players in the squad - he'll be someone they chipped in for specifically.  I don't see this being a healthy situation - particularly if things don't go as they should.

Anyone agree?

spot on, too dangerous an option for player and fan and team morale!

The way some fans are moaning about some players if they were to pay for a striker and he had a shxt game there probably wouldn't be a penny in the bucket.

fair points. Although if it was for a loan striker then couldn't his loan be terminated if it didn't work out?
