sne Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 2 minutes ago, Jareth said: So if we signed another Kodjia, someone who was worth the money, surely that would be a good idea? I'm all up for never getting another Mcoremack ever ever again, but I would still want the club to take some risks to improve us. Sure. Our last attempt on this was/is Hogan. Is he already discarded? Our biggest problem is that the rest of the team (Defense, but mainly midfield) doesn't contribute enough with scoring. This need to change, and a new striker would only mask this. Not solve it. IMO The best signing we could make is bringing in an attack coach or a new assistant to help Bruce create a way of playing in possession. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormack's unlikely to play for us again, Kodjia's still injured, Gabby has never been prolific, Hogan's lacking confidence and RHM's untested. So that just leaves us with Samba so... This ^^^^^ can't believe people are surprised at another striker link. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense, we need a more physical fwd without Kodja avaialble. Gabby can't last 90 mins and Davis doesn't appear ready for this level. Would love Sam Gallagher. I think we need another one and it wouldn't surprise me. Just watched the villa view interview with Wyness and he must have said the word goals about 10 times. He said we need to score 70-80 goals this season I really hope we are after another. No idea when kodjia will be 100% and Hogan is not the guaranteed goal scorer we need at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it was only 20 minutes on Wednesday night, but he needs regular games on loan I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for that. But getting in another expensive Championship striker, or an rotation PL player on massive wages and a 3-5 year contract, I just don't want us to do that, again. That could be an interesting idea, i'd like to see that one followed up a bit more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope - but we can hardly pin our promotion hopes on him - he isn't proven here and if we can go pick up someone Bruce knows, and who scores a lot at this level (Hernandez) that's as safe a bet as you can have and gives us serious depth in that position which is what we need if we want promotion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wazzap24 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I'm just digging the tin hat out of the shed in readiness, but if he could prove his fitness, I'd have a look at Rickie Lambert. He'd be a decent cheap option from the bench on a one year deal. Struggled badly for match fitness last year, but still got 4 in 13. Unless there's a wonderkid out there in the lower leagues, I wouldn't be looking to pay decent money for a forward, until we are promoted (or not, in which case we'll probably have to buy one to replace JK if he has another season like the last).

jacketspuds Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Sam Gallagher would be a good signing. 6'4 striker who has an eye for goal. Would imagine it would be a loan if true. Failing that, maybe we can offer McCormack in p/x for Abel Hernandez. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
