    Deeney, Wilson or King?

    3 strikers possibly available from the relegated clubs.

    We were constantly linked with Deeney whilst in the prem, with rumours of us making a failed £30m bid (yeah, right).
    He now goes into the last year of his contract apparently and is 32.

    Wilson is 28 and is apparently subject of a £10m bid from Spurs.

    Would you take any of them?

    PS I like Stanislas and Brooks of Bournemouth, but Brooks will go for big money.

    Can't see us paying anything like the money needed for these players. Although I would obviously love us to really make our mark in the Premiership (ala Wulfs) I just don't see it happening. I fully expect to get relegated next year but I am OK with that because the Sky money means you can hopefully make a fist of it again in the Championship. For me, its far more enjoyable experiencing the highs and lows of going for promotion than those of just trying to avoid relegation. I hope they give the like of Tulloch a chance of getting game time in the Prem as it will give the kids valuable experience to battle it out in the Championship.

    I would have a look at how the play offs go...Some decent talent there......Never like the buying of players who want to stay in the EPL...when clearly they are not good enough. They should go down with their clubs......and take a pay cut ......
    That is the reason I would not like MR Foster back at the Baggies....

    I would’ve thought we are pretty well stocked for overweight forwards with a lack of speed and mobility but if they feel we are lacking then Deeney fits the bill.

    Two years ago I wanted him but now at 32 I’m not so keen.

    I wanted Callum Wilson when he was at Coventry but we missed a trick,I like him but he’s very injury prone.

    I’d like Brewster on loan if Swansea don’t go up or Ollie Watkins but we cannot afford him.

    It’ll be some foreigner of dubious credentials who we get.

    As you have said befor Mick...find another Odenwinge or three...would be ok...but we probably don't do the scouting thing anymore....

    I actually think we will have much more nous than Leeds and whoever comes up because of recently having had a long spell in the Prem. Leeds won’t know what’s hit them. We also have a manager who has managed in the Prem. Fulham had 1 season and were very poor and I think they had a better team than the one they have now. Staying up doesn’t worry me much. Making a good fist of it does. That will require big signings.

    He lives near to a mate of mine so will ask him next time I see him

    I think Wilson at Bournemouth is a v good player

    No Lambert, Austin , Sturrage type players big earners,no fitness. Our best signings have never been name signings.

    A decent keeper and a decent striker who has pace and can produce magic like Odemwingie should both be the first signings. Personally - I still think Foster and Dawson are better than what we have!
