Rumours started

Lets face it;
we cant afford to buy a proven goalscorer,
we probably couldn't even attract a proven goalscorer (as there are potentially 12/13 other teams in League 2 who may be a better proposition right now)

so we are left with ......

an out of favour striker or recovering from injury striker at another club ...   best case scenario from those would be a League 1 player i imagine
raw young talent looking for League action to develop ..... from a Championship club maybe at a push,
goalscorer at a lower level ........competition from other teams for such a signature a probable issue.

For me, i think we will end up with either an out of favour League 1 striker who may need a few games to get match fit........or a fast raw talent from a U21/23 Championship club to help us with the counter attack style of play.


Post Edit .... missed one off ...
or....
a journeyman striker with a 1 : 4 level career average that is looking for a last 18 month deal somewhere..

To be fair, a shite striker with some pace could probably improve us by simply running around a lot and giving the opposition defence something to think about instead of the usual plodding stuff in front of them.

Them teams above us probably don't need a striker like we do

I think 'raw pace' will tick all the boxes required for Slade.

with the exception of Luton i would say all other teams in the running or trying to break into the running may want to strengthen that area.

Signing a striker is not the only answer to our problems we could sign £100,000 striker put him into this team and he will struggle, we also need to be able to put some quality balls into the danger areas we need mid fielders who dare to have a punt at goal that are capable of hitting the target giving instinctive strikers a chance on the follow up.

I think we've got players capable of supplying the balls if there is movement in front of them. Right now we could have a midfield of Iniesta, Pirlo and Paul Scholes and we still wouldn't get many chances as we're completely lacking in movement in the final third. We're also criminally slow. At no point does anybody look to go beyond the strikers and we're not even coming short to pull them out of position, it's terrible.

If we got a couple of players with pace and movement that will at least pull the opposition defence around a bit more and give them something to think about then I think Summerfield, Davies and Dembele wouldn't be completely useless at creating chances.

Bonne is the joint top scorer playing for a team 2 places above the relegation zone, which is always a positive if you can score regularly in a struggling team

hopefully he will sign some more tripe forwards on a two year deal, praying to god he goes this week

Surely a better rumour would be I just saw a guy in a white Stetson wearing a Town scarf going into Millfields.............
