Might be worth looking a bit lower in the leagues like Ross Allen at Guernsey (137 goals in 103 games) who I have mentioned many times in the last 2 or 3 seasons, also players like Lee Gregory at Halifax who has scored 15 goals this season and 60 goals in the last 3 seasons in under 100 games.
Or maybe give Kayden Jackson a go in the first team, he seems to have done well at Supermarine and Pox City.
A prolific scorer can grab goals at any level they play as Charlie proved with us and several other lower league prolific scorers have done through the years.

Edit - Mendez-Laing, Tyrone Barnett and Kane Ferdinand are the 3. Barnett worth a look maybe?
take all 3, never happen mind |

Or even Connor Waldon who has done well at Gloucester. |

Looking at the Barnsley bench, there were two strikers named - Thomas Cywka (25 years old) and Jason Scotland (34). Cywka came on and Scotland didn't. We've been linked with Jason Scotland before I'm sure? But I can't see Cywka leaving Barnsley on the basis that he's been far more involved. Can't really see a striker on the Brum bench that we'd be in for either. |

He wasn't on the bench but Akwasi Asante was on loan to Shrewsbury earlier in the season and could be available? We should probably wait for Chang before speculating wildly though!  |

Sound advice, but I felt a bit let down that Chang wasn't all over Ben Gladwin...the opportunity to sing a long to the Dave Clark Five.... I'm feeling Gladwin all over etc when he scores, was surely too important to keep under wraps. |

Who was that (Irish?) lower league player he had on trial, scored a hat trick in a reserve game. Don't think we signed him but someone like Orient did? |

Yeah he went on to play for Darlington, Gateshead and West Aukland and get a bad injury at Darlington. http://www.thejournal.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/whirlwind-12-months-darlington-john-4431400But no he isnt the Irish striker you are thinking about that was a lad that scored loads in Northern Ireland, was about 6 foot 4 and had shedloads of pace, can't remember who he was, but I think it was Danny Wilson who tried to sign him but he got an injury as well during the trial and it was terminated. |

I don't remember too much about him but usually there is a reason why non league players are non league players.
For every Charlie Austin there are probably 200 John Campbell's
Although in theory the gamble can't be a hugely expensive one.
