gurujuan Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I always thought Wilson was good value, even at £3 million plus. He looked class and was sharp in thought and movement. Of course he was way out of our league back then, but if we could now be in the market for a similar player, who is there? I suppose what I mean is, there are some lower league strikers who you know won't be able to do it at a higher level. Then there are others who might be worth a punt, but Calum Wilson always looked to me that he could do it at a higher level, even the Premier League, I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0wl18 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 If Rhodes is going anywhere it's up a division, he isn't a realistic target given that Blackburn rejected and 8m bid for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stocksy123 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 If money isn't a problem then Wilson from Bournemouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 a winger who can deliver a cross and kenwynn jones would be a good combo in this league...who the winger is though i dont know ,knockart maybe or that lad from birmingham gray though he may be destined for the prem .

0wl18 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Joe Garner has to be a top target, he has everything, pace, power, a good goalscoring record and he wouldn't cost a fortune. 1.5m would probably make him our player which is a steal when you think assombalonga cost 8m, Garner scored 5 less league goals for Preston in the 13/14 season but played 11 less games.

Guest wilyfox Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Andy Giddings To the #swfc fans asking about Will Keane, SG said on Monday that they'd inquire about keeping him in the summer. Personally, I'd be against that. I think there's more to come from May, Nuhiu, Bus and Lavery. Get someone proven with experience amongst that lot and we'll do fine. One pedigree striker, two wingers, and Lewis McGugan = Boom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeadonowl Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Can see a bit of a fire sale at Blackburn soon. Last set of accounts saw wages alone at 35.5m against turnover of 30m. That turnover included parachute payments which finish next season. Already in breach of FFP Rhodes has not had his best season, often been on the bench. Can't see blackburn been in the position to command the fee the could have done last summer Probably still out of our range though Edited March 6, 2015 by yeadonowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChapSmurf Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) What about Lasse Vibe? Scores for fun and can play wide right too. Can use both feet and he is quick. Edited March 6, 2015 by ChapSmurf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he was way out of our league back then, but if we could now be in the market for a similar player, who is there? That's one I'm struggling with. I'm not sure who's in that bracket. We are definitely lacking some pace and arrogance up top, backed up by a good scoring record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) I get the impression Keane would be another loan deal next season, to be honest I wouldn't be bothered either way. Hopefully with our new spending power we will be able to attract an even better calibre of player. Edited March 6, 2015 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerowl Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 If you could bring in just one, who would you bring in? I've had a look at a few figures and here's 5 worth a look.... Andy Williams Swindon Jordan Rhodes Blackburn Joe Garner Preston Troy Deeney Watford Kenwyne Jones Cardiff Its based on actual goals scored rather than whether they're glamourous or not. If its the same one that played for Yeovil hes a really good player to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickswfc Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Some good honest realistic suggestions in this thread. £9M should do it for Rhodes, possibly £7M for Deeney. Spending £16M should leave us with more than enough to invest in a couple of decent wingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully with our new spending power we will be able to attract an even better calibre of player. I wasn't impressed with him at Reading or Ipswich, looked lightweight and always on the periphery of things. Was better at Millwall though. A perhaps more gifted version of Madine. The group is young and relatively inexperienced, so that has to be addressed. Lack of pace is a worry too, all the good sides at this level have that in their armoury. I've never seen Bus, but I gather he's more like Lavery in terms of pace, rather than say, Callum Wilson. Edited March 6, 2015 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerowl Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 If I could pick one out our league it would be Troy Deeney, proper beast up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 There's no value in paying well over the odds for a fellow Championship striker - like McCormack as you'd never get that amount back. A solid, astute investment in a hungry striker at a good age with the attributes we currently lack please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A solid, astute investment in a hungry striker at a good age with the attributes we currently lack please. Which is why Wilson represented far better value than McCormack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcityowlsfan Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Chris Wood Glen Murray If Palace stay up I think there is a chance we could get him Will Keane (loan again most likely) Le Fondre Leon Best Chris Martin (If Derby go up he could be frozen out as they look for prem quality) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Really hard thinking of a striker who would guarantee value for monney he would require to bring him here, especialy if we would look at someone with potential resale value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
