I don't think anyone on here wanting a striker is expecting them to come in to be backup. We want to push on and be promoted this season—someone like Ulloa would have been ideal. Who knows if Hogan's last two games were fluke or whether he's genuinely turned a corner. Only time will tell. For me, I worry how little he affects play even though he's been scoring (and admittedly winning us games). Anyway, that still leaves us with just Hogan and Davies. We need another striker. It's obvious. It's obvious RHM, who has never made any impact and is still very young is not what we're talking about.

I don't think the issue is that he's not considered good enough as back up. It's more that if Hogan was to get injured (not the most unlikely scenario given his history!) then we would again be down to having either RHM or Davis leading our line in the push for promotion. I'd actually like to see RHM get more minutes from the bench as he's looked lively in his small cameos this year. However, I still agree we need another striker who could genuinely step in and lead the line if Hogan was to suffer another injury or loss of form.

I wouldn't give him a new contract and don't think he is good enough for us as even a backup striker. He might be good enough for another team in this league but I don't think he is good enough for us anymore, I may be wrong? Hopefully after this weekend we will have some indication regarding his future and what/where it will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Not getting another striker in this window could come back to bite Bruce on the bum if Hogan suffers another one of his regular injuries and it costs us promotion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is exactly the reason why Bruce is trying to get another striker in - if he cannot do so it will because the other club won’t do the loan deal not because Bruce doesn’t want a striker.

We don't want to sign anyone for the sake of it NV, but it is getting a proven striker at this level is looking difficult especially when there are not that many available to loan who fit the bill either. It certainly makes the McCormack talks a little more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Another striker would be nice but I don't think it is crucial to us getting promoted. We have played 28 games this season and at no stage, aside from maybe the first 3 or 4 games, have we had anymore more than two striking options. Kodjia has been out for 90% of the season and even when he was available wasn't match fit. Gabby has been out since August, RHM only just returned and Hogan until the last month was either injured or out of sorts. Davis has been the one constant. Despite all of the above goals haven't be hard to come by. The system we play with the two wide forwards and an attacking mid in just behind a lone striker means goals have been spread around and we haven't become reliant on one player to score. We could have 6 first team strikers but the system that suits this squad overall would still be the one we play now with one striker. It gets the best out of Grealish, Hourihane, Snodgrass and Adomah. If we can't bring in the right player and have to go with what we have then think in Hogan, Davis and RHM we have enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Why are people turning their big noses up at Nakhi Wells? I would rather we sign him than no striker. He can score goals in this league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a dangerous roll of the dice if you ask me but at the same time it is a scenario that could very well happen.

Yep. If it's as cut and dryed as some would have us believe then we won't even be chasing him. If we are there is a chance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
