Of course not, he’s good. I’ve heard Graham Carey’s name mentioned. Nothing more than a league 1 player sadly. Which might be helpful, come to think of it.
It seems we’re not looking at any strikers, so we can at least knock them off the list of players we want but won’t be getting.
I’m not surprised given how many we have already. Hernandez to come back, with keane, Dio, Campbell and Bowen, we have enough.
Rick tweeted earlier saying we're paying a squad of 28. We can't just keep adding more and more without losing some
Will Will Keane the Goal Machine. A career average of one goal every 13.5 games, prolific! The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Hernandez injured Keane not first team match fit Bowen still not 100% fit Campbell not 100% fit Dio out of favour Dicko he can't play for a full 90 minutes I'd say another striker should be a priority - given the type of injuries Hernandez and Keane are coming back from.
Why? With the exact amount of strikers we have now we are among the top scorers in the league. Hernandez is due back in a few games and Campbell is nearing full fitness. Who do you sell? Dio? Alright, but then who is going to come in and push one of the others down the pecking order? You can't just keep adding strikers in and hoping that will solve the problem, we aren't Derby County. The defence is obviously the priority, followed by the wide areas and Nige has moved to address this.
He isn't prolific, but then he hasn't really had a prolonged period with us to become prolific. I thought he was a bit ****, but I'm willing to give him a chance. He's also 6ft 2, and many people have been calling out for a target man. He would serve as a decent foil for Dicko.
Adkins will have a huge job in the summer after the 10 out of contract players leave and 3 loans go back. If the club had owners who gave a **** we'd sign 4/5 players this window.
We've got two strikers returning from cruciate knee ligament surgery, Keane not his first cruciate injury. Campbell and Dicko who aren't fit enough to last a full 90 minutes and Dio, who looks more useful as a winger than he does as a striker. It's called insurance. If the window closes, you can guarantee we'll do what we're good at and that is pick up more injuries. We were top scorers under Slutsky, the goals have dried up a bit since he left. I don't disagree with defence being a priority, absolutely no harm in bringing in another striker even if it's a loan.
In an ideal world we would get a striker, but for us in the real world a Cb and wide player is more a priority and likely
What about Luer? It's as much a gamble bringing him in as it would be bringing in an untested loan player.
We only play one up top. There's no point bringing someone else in. If/when we lose Abel and Dio in the summer it's more likely but not now. We can't just keep adding players, the squad is big enough and half of it aren't playing I'd imagine that Campbell and Dicko are both capable of 90 mins now.
