0742 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 25 minutes ago, Jim said: I don’t think Moore is looking for strikers per se, more wingers, attacking midfielders? Not expecting us to sign an out and out striker so there will be a meltdown on here. If he doesn't then he's not the right man for the job. Even Stevie Wonder can see we need at least 2 strikers, no matter what formation we play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 If we don’t get this sorted it’s going to be a tough old season. As it stands we are probably looking at starting Dunkley up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Stevie Wonder can see we need at least 2 strikers, no matter what formation we play. Agree with this. I like Moore but it is blindingly obvious that we need proper strikers, not midfielders or right backs, proper centre forwards who know the role. IMO need at least one experienced striker plus another one or two as back up. Adedoyin, at a push, might fulfil a back up role as third choice, but not seen enough of him, injured almost all last season and injured again. Although if I were pick a position for him, would be as a wide player in the forward three anyway. I'm not having the argument that Paterson is a striker, nothing against him but never whilever I've got a hole in my arse is he a striker, not in a million years. Our stunning free flowing attacking football and bagful's of goals tells it's own story about our goal threat. Managed a goal against Celtic's under 23's, 3 goals against non league outfits but never looked remotely close to scoring against championship opposition. That suggests right now, our attacking threat is non league standard (at best) Edited July 23, 2021 by striker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried for Zohore on loan, panicked and ended up with Marriott - who was pants. Windass and Paterson aren’t proper centre forwards. Horribly and disgracefully neglected area of the pitch, which relegated us last season. Problem is, there isn’t much out there. It’s wide knowledge we can’t pay a fee. So we’re more or less looking at Premier League/Championship loans. Prem loans normally happen towards the end of the window when clubs finalise their 23 man squad. So any movement on strikers I reckon will be late in the window, probably deadline day. Which isn’t ideal. Don’t really fancy any of the free agents. I’d take Lee Gregory as he can hold the ball up nicely. And maybe Sam Vokes for experience. That’s it though. We won't be signing any players just missing out on premiership squads we are no where near that market anymore so the end of the window excuse should not apply. Any premier league club player will be a youth loan so we should have them in now, not in 5 weeks time when we are sat near the bottom of the table unable to keep clear sheets and not scoring goals. Maybe fans can pay for a 19 game season ticket, if the club cannot be bother to have a team ready for the full season, why should the fans have to pay for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who turns their nose up at this needs to realise we’re a L1 team with no, yes NO money. To be fair I think the fact that we don’t have any money is the reason people are against signing Whickham up. We can’t waste what wage budget we have on someone who is as likely to be on the treatment table as he is the pitch. Sure a ‘pay as you play’ deal would be worth a go, but I’d be amazed if Connor fancies dropping to L1 on that basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who turns their nose up at this needs to realise we’re a L1 team with no, yes NO money. I would (and I realise were in L1). He's always been an injury waiting to happen, anyone signing him now without a pre season is lunacy....just a matter of watching him disintegrate like dunking a digestive in a cup of tea as soon as he set foot on a pitch. Had a couple.of good seasons, got his move and earned enough to see him right. But as far as a football career is concerned, he hasn't really had one. I don't think we owe him anything, whichever league were in based on a decent loan spell several years ago.

The lad grew up in Liverpool, Wrexham is an hour down the road, yes they are a league below but not for long, with the financial backing thry have. Its like a championship right back turning down championship offers to sign for a league one team to be nearer to home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is actually fit enough to play and able to remain injury free I’d expect to see him in the Championship not L1. But I honestly can’t see him remaining injury free for a season ever again. It’s a crying shame because at his best he was terrific in the Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
