The only search I can find for that name is an ex tavistock CB? Interesting he has a squad number that no other player we know had too

Think it's just vandalism. If you look at the page history the same person edited the squad list but put the name down as 'Kurtis Parle' before changing it to 'Matthew Hawke' on his next edit soon after. Looking at the contributions and talk page of the user they have done numerous acts of wiki vandalism (adding fake names, etc.) and are on their last warning.

Just had a look at our wiki page and it says we have an Australian forward by the name of Matthew Hawke. First of all is this true and secondly does anyone know anything about him if so?

Surely as there are six of them and you have worked out an average, you would expect 0.0932 x 6 goals per game from this lot. Which would be 0.5592 goals per game. That would be 26 goals per season from this lot.
Not great but perhaps not as bad as the 4 goals you were talking about!
As you say...the stats are all rubbish anyway.
Yes you are right, unfair to use the average.

We definitely don't need another Martin Ling...

For example if you take the number of goals scored by these six players & divide it by the number of games that they have played you will see that all we can expect from them is 0.0932 goals per game, or 4.28904 league goals per season. Absolute nonsense isn't it? but mathematically correct.

Yes, he played the full 90 in Arsenal's 1-0 loss to Olympiakos.

The point about ability at Premier League level applies equally to Tom Cruise.

Matt.

Wodger I take your point about stats but what I think they do indicate is that Alan Knill has signed 4 experienced pros and 2 with plenty of potential.

In the case of Cameron you do not get a contract at a Premier League club unless you have real ability.Likewise with Chapell from Sheffield United a big club in the Championship.

My post was just to try and summarise our signings and to indicate their level of experience

Couple of questions:

Does anyone know the length of Tonge's contract?
Is Pearce going to be No.5?

Granted doesn't tell you much about defenders and midfielders but if a strike had a 1:2 ratio over a number of seasons, then you know he is a good player. If Benyon with his career ratio can get 15 or more goals we will know he has had a good season. The main point is we have improved the team and the squad, although a lot will depend on the final two piece being in place soon.
