4evaowl Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 New striker? We have a hat full of them but only one regularly gets picked and some don’t get anywhere near the bench. Why would Chansiri give Monk money for a striker when he only plays one? Also, like many in this thread, I can’t think of an affordable name of one we could get.

Westwood Palmer Iorfa Borner Penney Hutchinson Luongo Bannan Harris Nuhiu Forestieri subs Dawson Lees Bates Thorniley Odubajo Lee Murphy Add 3 or 4 strategic loan signings to that, and it shows you how superfluous most of our dealings have been Years two, three and four, were truly bonkers Edited November 28, 2019 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZicoSterland2 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 We need to look in lower leagues for a rough diamond. Plenty of other teams seem to find them we never seem to look . Young quick forwards are there if we were willing to take a risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team is still crying out for someone with a bit of pace that can get in behind the defence and finish. Sell Rhodes and Winnall and bring in someone, no idea who, could be a kid from a premier league team, just someone with pace please that can play off Fletcher. Or, and just a thought we could play the striker we currently have with pace and the ability to get in behind defences, able to play off Fletcher and given chances will score goals, but that will mean Monk taking his head out of his ..… and playing his best player from the start of matches not when we are goals down against crap teams. Just a thought though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Che Adams anyone? A loan might be feasible, worked well with Monk before. Ex pig I know, but the type of player who could link well with Fletcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) A random name to put out there is Lawrence Shankland - Currently playing in the Scottish Championship in the last 2 and a bit season he has scored 67 goals in 74 games. At 24 years old he is a good age and will improve but his stats speak for themselves he is a goal scoring playing in a team like ours that creates chance I can see him scoring goals for us. We have quite a long history of signing Scottish players and at the right price this could be a player we bring in get playing championship standard and could develop into a talent or be a player we make money on in 12-18 months time.

Maybe our scouting staff should shadow those at Peterborough as they always seem to unearth some gems in the striking department. Our scouts must be learning how to build a den.
