Dartford manager Tony Burman
insists the club are not going to be silly if they have to find a
replacement for in-demand striker Charlie Sheringham.
Sheringham’s terrific form has attracted the attentions of
Football League clubs and the Darts announced on Saturday they had
accepted an offer for the 23-year-old from AFC Bournemouth.
The League 1 club invited
Sheringham to Dorset for talks earlier this week and Burman
(pictured) has already begun to look at potential transfer targets
if the deal goes through.
However, he insists the Darts will
not pay over the odds for a new forward, even if Sheringham does
move away for a fee believed to more than £25,000.
He said: "There are lots of players
around but lots are on contract.
"We’d be looking to bring in a
player who would strengthen the squad and there are plenty of good
strikers in the lower leagues, as well as the league above.
"You just don’t know what clubs
want for their services. We’re not going to be silly with it, we’ll
give what we think is right."
Dartford, who have been drawn at
home to Bromley in the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup on
October 29, return to league action at home to Truro on Saturday
and at Thurrock on Tuesday night.
