    Gnonto and Summerville probably have the biggest potential. I would look at doing a deal with Swansea involving Pirloe coming to Leeds, and David James going back to the Swans plus cash. Pirloe only has 12 months left on his contract remember.

    Genuine question... Does the club not carry insurance for players who have to retire injured?.

    Already trouble at Swansea as Piroe will not sign a new contract so Swansea want to sell him but Piroe has told them he is staying and walking on a free next summer. If all this is true do we really want a twat like him

    Yes if he fires us back to the prem. Put a clause in his contract stating we want the same fee back and let him go. Would he go for it is another matter. If he stays at Swansea then he is a twat.

    Top goalscorer market;

    Vardy (Leic) 7/1
    Iheanacho (Leic) 8/1
    Piroe (Swans) 9/1
    Daka (Leic) 9/1
    Akpom (Boro) 10/1
    Che Adams (Saints) 12/1
    Bamford (Leeds) 14/1
    Armstrong (Saints) 14/1

    Piroe or Akpom the only options then if we want to sign guaranteed Championship goals.

    Looks like Leicester will be contenders with those three. Would Boro sell akpom to us though.

    Flip side is of course, if he has an outstanding season but only had one year left on his contract some would bemoan the fact that he is leaving for free and the club are clueless <whistle>

    He has never been prolific as a goal scorer. 26 starts last two seasons and 8 goals. He is a dud and he got a stupid contract.

    and vardy will be sparingly used probably more as a sub, not bad when you've got a problem like that to play with eh ...whilst we'll be relying on our kids to maybe show us the hype isn't just that .

    Hasn’t Akpom only had the one good goal scoring season?

    Take him on a one year loan for a loan fee. I’ve heard some clubs do that with their players <whistle>

    yeh he’s an unusual one… highly rated youngster career stalled. Then out of the blue banged them in for fun last year… often playing as a 10. Most clubs are suspicious of the one season wonder syndrome… think with him, it’s about the right system for him to flourish. Had good service last year too.
