Dartford manager Tony Burman insists club won't be rash in the search for Charlie Sheringham's replacement

Tony Burman is prepared to be patient as he looks to land a
forward capable of replacing Charlie Sheringham.
The Dartford manager, pictured, has hit several dead-ends
after enquiring about potential transfer targets but he is
maintaining a firm stance over the fee the club would be prepared
to pay.
Former Gillingham, Bromley and Ebbsfleet striker Jacob Erskine
made his Dartford debut against Truro on Saturday but is not seen
as a replacement.
Tonbridge’s Frannie Collin was among Dartford’s targets but the
Angels have slapped a £20,000 price tag on their 13-goal
striker.
"I’m looking at a number of options to strengthen the squad,"
said Burman. "They haven’t come off yet because the people we want
are under contract and we’ve got to wait until certain things
happen.
"We’ve had some money come in but we’re not going out spending
willy-nilly.
"We let Charlie go for that money because we let him go three
divisions higher. I was realistic on what I accepted, that was up
to me, but I’m not going to pay that money for someone at the same
level as we’re playing at."
A bumper Princes Park crowd is expected when Dartford entertain
local rivals Bromley in the FA Cup fourth qualifying round on
Saturday.
