That is true and what I'm clinging to, would be nice to get in a couple of forwards quickly, just to introduce them to their teammates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve found it very strange that of all the players we’ve been linked with, none of have really been an out and out striker. Reo Griffiths is the only one I’ve seen that’s a proper striker and water was poured on that rumour straight away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Windass goes to Preston. That said id take Leko but not fussed on the other two anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say zero rumours, but to be fair there was Atts youtube video, and his liking on Instagram, far better and more accurate than any rumour or "journo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full fathom five Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 12 hours ago, WalthamOwl said: Crazy how quiet it seems for a club that only have 1 striker. Even if as expected we sign Windass I still don’t think he is what you would class as a striker. Things really need to start happening and fast. Such a big rebuild to do and we have only signed 3 players after letting so many go. I wouldn't be surprised to start the season with no new striker signed. We will probably get one in the end of the transfer window, it's just how we seem to operate, everything last minute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've gone from having 7 to 1 in the space of about 2 years. We've not had a new striker at the club since Rhodes and Winnall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffjohnsonmyhero Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Its going to be a big ask on our young players ,But still think we will sign a few players ,Could be loans from premier ,When they finalise their squads ,Two forwards at least required ,Does Rhodes fit into Monks plans ?.

To go from a position of having: Hooper Forestieri Fletcher João Rhodes Winnall Nuhiu Matias ...to only having Rhodes left - and to have raised a grand total of £5m in return - is p*ss poor. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 The thing with Windass, is he good enough to be a regular starter? He wasn’t at Wigan, and he was patchy here. If we can afford to carry 5 or 6 striking options, then maybe he can be a bit of a wildcard. If we’re looking to run a tighter ship, then any back up options, to my mind anyway, should be younger players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the current financial situation we may be actively trying to get a couple more bodies out before raising some cash first. Only Dc really knows.
