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

Gregory for me

Me too Pete.
I just wish they'd get it sorted because we're so lightweight up front.

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.

Where has anyone said anything about a 20 goal per season proven Championship striker?
We know we can't afford anyone in that class but there are strikers out there who would probably get 10 goals or more per season who would certainly fall within our price range.
Don't forget, we had a player who got that many per season and those goals helped us to stay up twice.
For reasons best known to himself the manager let him go to Cyprus and now seems to be struggling to replace him

I could name a dozen multi-million pound strikers bought unproven for peanuts from overseas and lower leagues. It's called "scouting" and we ought to try it some time. It would of course help if the club did not adopt their usual approach for public relations reasons blabbing about potential signings and getting gazumped by the likes of Barnsley, Oxford, Fleetwood and Forest Green.

I just cant think of anyone in the lower leagues apart from Gregory who might get us 15 goals and that 1 looks like its gonna cost us if we pay, its rather somebody we've never heard of abroad like the Swedish striker who we were after or somebody young in the same league whos worth a gamble and probably never gonna feature for them, more i think about it i think young Lavery of Sheff Wed might be worth that gamble.

I mentioned Lavery on here a few weeks ago but not many people agreed.

•Releases our only goalscorer Derbyshire.

•Derbyshire and Best were at least better than what we have now..and not been replaced.

•Doesnt offer that bit extra for Bradshaw because he's not worth more than we bid, then loses out to Barnsley :/


...says enough about his judgement.
