I'd say they're missing a heap of people from it. No sign of the likes of Michael Rafter, who, if fit, will score goals for Harps.
Danny North at 14/1 is surely worth a tenner though.
Some have made Top Scorer predictions in the 2016 predictions thread
Paddy Power gives their assessment with odds on 59 players topping the scoring charts

The best striker in the country Christy Fagan is the favourite at 13/2 but given his injury record and the unproven nature of the Pats squad, this is probably a poor value bet.
Where do you see the value?
The ones catching my eye are
14/1 Ciaran Kilduff
18/1 Ishmail Akinade
20/1 Ronan Finn (if he is the nominated penalty taker)
33/1 Kurtis Byrne
50/1 Padraic Cunningham

Ronan Finn could be a good punt at 20/1, as Ezeikal points out.
He is looking very sharp and will play further forward with Towell now gone. He will also get more free kicks opportunities.
Robbie Benson is missing from the list; could be an outside option to place. Depends in part on how crowded Dundalk's midfield is of course.
Probably not - I mention him because Finn is so high up, and I think Benson had a better scoring record for us than Finn ever did. He's played up front as well
Finn averaging 7.3 league goals per season, with just 5 of Dundalk's 78 last season.
Finn goals by season
2008 - 1
2009 - 7 (1st Div)
2010 - 8
2011 - 5
2012 - 8
2013 - 8 (inc 2 pens)
2014 - 6
2015 - 5
So wouldn't be backing him for top scorer this year

Can't see betting sites in Work, What price is Mikey Drennan if listed ?
Our front 3 will bag 30 goals between them this season
Patterson fairly big price at 18's considering his record

Looking forward to his impending hat-trick against St Pat's.

On his day Rafter was one of the better players in the godawful Dundalk side that were blessed not to be relegated. And in fairness to him he had a great game in Waterford to keep us up. Rafter to Harps was more of a coup for Rafter than Harps.
For the money we can offer we would be doing well to get a striker better than Rafter,quality strikers willing to come to the North west are few and far between.
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
