any names ?
I only ask because come April several will be demanding why we didn't sign X as it was so obvious etc
it must be hard finding someone as they pretty much have to be untested at premier level, unwanted at championship level, too expensive at league 1 level, too hard to get at league 2 level and not good enough any lower
someone from wolves then I say lol

A big lump of a striker, all of our strikers are pretty similar. When I saw Smith of Rotherham on the bench against us I thought he’d be worth a punt, then he goes and gets the winner! That type of player that will compliment what we’ve got and if we need to go direct then he can win some in the air, none of our current strikers are an aerial threat. Matt from Newport perhaps.

Names that are bound to be mentioned again are Bright Enobakhare and Tyrese Campbell.
The former is being recalled by Wolves in January, due to lack of game time at Wigan, so he can be loaned out elsewhere. The latter has played mainly as a substitute at Stoke this season, with a new manager there he could be allowed out if they can bring a new striker in.

Eoin Doyle could be an option, although Doyle doesn’t want to go back to Bradford they still may recall him to get a fee and to hamper Swindon’s promotion push. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50956596There were rumours we were interested in Brett Pitman in the summer, could be another option we’re still looking at?

We don’t need another striker.
And I’ll happily debate anyone who says otherwise.

I suggested Laurence Shankland last December, thought he was worth a punt sub £250k. Looking forward to him joining an English side and see how he does.
If I'm honest, only Eoin Doyle stands out as do-able currently, I suggested him when Bradford go relegated too.

On one hand we dont need a striker as we have four (Cummings, Lang, Udoh and Fejiri) and only play with one. However if we continue to play one then we need someone who can play the lone target man role.
But I would be very surprised to see another strike come in

I don't think there is any harm in bringing in someone who can say, do what we saw Rotherham do to us on Boxing Day. We don't have someone like that. I think it would have been handy to have someone like that available at Bolton for example.

We do, we need to get him off the wage bill along with Grant and get a really effective powerful striker in.

If Sunderland or anyone else is interested in paying a fee for Fejiri, then I'd be inclined to let him go and bring in someone else. Out of contract at the end of the season and has been very disappointing.
Certainly not suited to the lone striker role in the way that someone like Carlton Morris would be, in that he doesn't win much in the air, hasn't the required work rate, and time after time gives away cheap free kicks.

You shouldnt jest. I do feel that Ricketts could be looking to use him as the big target man a la Carleton Morris to feed a second forward / front midfield. A proven goalscorer is and always will be out of our budget so we have to score goals another way.

We somehow managed to get something for Arnold and one or two of the others that were moved on. However, if someone is prepared to just take him off our hands and pay his wages, I'd go with that.

We may have 5 strikers on the books but LJL must be heading out soon, you would hope and Lang may be weeks (if not longer) away from a first team return. Fey is not the striker he was last season.
I would like to see us bring in a decent target man. A younger version of Steve Morison?

Eoin Doyle definitely doesn't want to go back to Bradford, whilst Bradford don't want to leave him with their promotion rivals Swindon. Hope springs eternal!

I've been an admirer of Eoin Doyle for a while, I know a few of my Oldham supporting friends only had good things to say about him when he was on loan with them. He's clearly too good for league 2.

I did post on another thread about John Akinde. Not getting alot of game time at Lincoln and the sort of player who would suit the loan striker role. Like others have said, I don't think a striker is the priority but 1 maybe 2 creative midfielders but it wouldn't surprise me if a striker came in.

Anyone who thinks we can afford Eoin Doyle, with the season he’s having, is living in cloud cuckoo land

And he still wouldn’t score goals if he came here, because he’s not a play up front on your own type of striker, he needs chances to be created, which we don’t create any of. Regardless of the cost, no chance he’s coming here.

Let’s improve the ones we’ve got. Cummings has SPL and Championship pedigree, Okenabirhie scored a lot last year and is still relatively inexperienced at this level, and Udoh is clearly a rough diamond.
Does make me laugh when fans plead loyalty from players and managers, yet are prepared to **** off Fejiri based on a poor half season when it’s clear he’s being asked to play a type of game that is very new to him.

Martin, you actually make some good posts on this forum, but why do you have to continually throw in a bit of abuse or judgement to everyone who posts something you don’t agree with? Why the need for the “absurd comment” remark? You would have made your point just as well with the post about the age, but no, you’ve got to throw in a dig
