Sbarra would be fantastic but I doubt it's realistic - as others have suggested, he'll probably get an EFL move.
Connor Hall has been made available for transfer and has scored quite a few at NLN for both Chorley and Brackley - a few years younger than Beck but I appreciate Beck gives us the slightly more Route One option we're missing.
Connor Hall is a player I've always wanted at Alty and I think it's a very realistic signing for us.
The problem is (as you correctly state) we really do lack an alternative route 1 approach, a Plan B and for me, someone of Beck's calibre fits that bill.
Signing both may be viable if CCC departs.
I'm sure I've seen Connor Hall tagged in social media posts with Lewis Baines (obviously they were teammates at Chorley), that sort of stuff has definitely got to help I suppose.
Might be that we've always had a limited wage available for a backup striker, but depending on any sale that might not be the case next time.
