How bad will it be if we don't sign a striker/centre forward come the 31st?

Stubbs must be pulling all the stops out to land a proven goal scorer but the clock is ticking towards lock down....

Some may say Brown is a forward but even he admits he's a winger..this may see him employed as an upfront man which may affect his game.... we can but wait and see...

The season long loan of Brown will have taken a chunk out of the wage budget so unless TS comes up with something substantial and we don't land a proven scorer then we may well struggle all season?

Tic toc as they say....

Difference between stopping up. Need 2 to cover injuries. No loan window, can only get out of contract players. They're not out of contract for no reason. Left back another priority.

Agree with gwru, we need two strikers, preferably a powerful centre forward and a mobile type to play off him.
Our current strike force will be nowhere near good enough to get enough goals to keep us up.
Hopefully AS will bring the quality in that he's always banging on about.

We can't afford one never mind two,20 goals a season forward in this league 5 to 10 million 20 grand a week so that's us out.

A lad who works for me is a Tyke.

He's obviously buzzing his boots off and rightly so.

He says Tom Bradshaw was brilliant last night.

A real shame we didn't get that deal over the line.

I think we will end up with Lee Gregory to be honest.

Hopefully if we do, he does the business.

I think Gregory is better than Bradshaw plus Gregory's played in this league before.

No two ways about it we need a striker or 2 or we're in massive trouble, the club should be working 24/7 now until the market closes to make sure we get at least 1.

I don't think we have a chance of getting in a 20 goal a season striker, at this level. I agree, with others who say we need 2 really. Alan Stubbs has said our latest signing is good for competition in central midfield, but why doesn't that apply to up front or say left back? I am getting seriously worried there will be no attacking arrivals come 11pm August 31st, then we are f****d

What makes you think Izzy Brown is on high wages ? Eden Hazard & Diego Costa are on more than £200k a week but the youngsters are on a more sensible wage. We don`t know the exact details of the loan, Chelsea could be paying a percentage of his wages. I reckon there will be money available in the January transfer window just in case we are sinking fast.

Now bring us a couple of strikers in Alan.

We need at least one experienced striker signed as a full-time MILLERS player, ok the other one could be a young loan player.
If we just get two inexperienced 18 year old players from the Premier League, they are unlikely to achieve anything, if past seasons' signings are anything to go by
