Does this signing indicate we won't be seeing Asante any time soon?

I think it's more an indication that RS is admitting that the signing of Hooper was a panic-buy and we need better.

I doubt Slade signed him for 2 years after having him on trial for 2 weeks in a panic. He'll be a big part of his plans. He looked decent on Saturday, just not a target man.

I don't think anyone should write Hooper off. He scored a cracking goal on Saturday and looked ok in the spells when we actually tried to play a bit of football.
I'll be interested to see if we stick with the current 4-2-3-1 formation now we have so many strikers. Cardwell, Vernon, Hooper and Matt, plus Jones who can play up there and Asante if he's ever fit again.
I actually think there's real promise in Cardwell too. Did well in his sub appearances at Chesterfield and on Saturday (particularly liked his burst of pace to completely outsprint and overtake their defender when he was fouled just outside the box). Didn't do a great deal against Coventry but then he had zero service.
I think our striking options are actually ok and we have to be able to build up possession through the defensive and middle thirds better to allow us to progress up the field as a team, get bodies closer to the front man, and keep playing the ball on the floor.

Agree if we get the ball down things will look much better

In more ways than one.

Do you think that signing a 6' 4 inch centre forward indicates playing it on the floor? I don't think so.
