We need to bring in that extra striker ASAP

OK, we all know we need a striker, but who? No sentiments or was. Names in the frames please, EFL teams are reluctant to release because their No1 striker might get injured. So that leaves the prem or where we are in the NL or below. if they want to move?

So it's all right to state the obvious, but who?

Hurst said he was looking at championship and a first division strikers last week but they didn’t work out so it’s not as if he isn’t looking……

If anybody knows a. Striker that fits the bill that Paul is looking for.

Please tell him or put his name on here because Paul can not find one.

If Hollowhead was still here I bet he would have signed 3 or 4 by now.

They would not be any good but he would have signed them.

Quoted from Ipswin

With McAtee out for 4 weeks minimum I'll take anyone if it means LJL doesn't start

And you didn’t expect red crosses for that?
You’re not a nice man

Does anyone know if we are allowed to buy a player for a fee from another team in our division? All the talk seems to have been mainly been about free agents or higher level U23 players, but I keep wondering why we couldn't maybe go and try for someone in our division. Someone mentioned the other week the guy Waters at Halifax - could we maybe test their mettle with a 75-100K offer (assuming we've got that to spend) or someone similar who is doing reasonably well for a smaller club who might need the money.

I guess one of of problems is finding somebody who is good enought to fill in when McAtee/Taylor are injured, but won't kick up a fuss if they are fit and firing and so maybe won't get many minutes.

No we don't.

Given the increase in gates, that sort of money should be in the kitty, unless you know who has milked it, again. Another striker, of some quality, may not always be 3rd choice and could make McAtee/Taylor compete for their place in the team. The question is who?

Look ph will sign a striker when one becomes available who he thinks can do a job for us , no good doing what holloway did & draw names out of a hat , he goes to enough u23 football i expect one if not two signings before we play our next league game , in the meantime 29 points after 14 games keep averaging that & we will be title contenders for sure

I mentioned him - think he would be a good addition, but Halifax will need a big offer to sell to a rival, unless they really need the money and he may not want to warm the bench if we a fully fit squad, but of course money talks in that respect as well.

Be interested to know the type of player PH has been chasing. I think we need a poacher type that can get us goals alongside LJL's physical presence if we are missing Taylor but PH will have the right plan. I thought he got it right yesterday BTW - the midfield were impressive, we needed a scruffy goal from a Notts mistake from our pressing game but it was our errors (positional and Macca) that lost the game.

Andy Carroll is a free agent at the moment, still only 32 could do a job at this level
