    Can play on both wings and LB so could be a shout

    Best on the right imo

    We’re well stocked with many good players in all positions when those injured return so I wouldn’t like to sign more players who could hinder the development of the likes of Watson but there’s one type of player that we don’t have and I would spend the lot, however much we have, on him.

    A git big centre forward who can bully and command the opposition's box as well as defending our own goal from corners.

    We have two very fast forwards and Abdullah is supposed to be very quick. I don’t think Connolly is the answer to any forward we need.

    If we play very good, hard to break down teams we need Wilson because he can score worldies.
    Fast breaks we have covered.
    A big brute we don’t have.
    I’ve no idea who but that’s the player I would spend the money on but being a different type of forward would be (more) acceptable to our current lads as they will recognise he is a different option as opposed to somebody directly coming to take their place.

    agree with this massively.

    do we need another striker who can hold the ball up and be good in the air? Yes.

    but they need to be able to do the running and pressing RLB would like them to do too.

    not gonna find many of those who are “proven in the champ” as they’d be in the prem. so we look for gems with these attributes elsewhere

    Mags linked with Tyler Dibling

    Hope he doesn’t end up going there, cracking prospect

    He's way better than that level, hope he gets a run of games and back to a decent level

    Going to say it again, as I have for the past 3 windows, but Miles Leaburn is back fit and scoring/ contributing and at 21 is a great age for us

    Orban gone to Hoffenheim. Bamba injured. Mendy critical in Caen’s relegation battle. Quite looking forward to the left field striker option that we’re likely to see this January.

    The only issue I have with him is he doesn't improve us now and we already have quite a few future CF options

    I was a big advocate for hin as well, just think we have moved on now and need better

    Possibly, but he would add another string to our bow and give us a different option imo

    Think we’re past him now. He’s not gonna improve us at any point

    No idea why or how that has happened.

    3.5 year deal, they're 24th in League Two, not sure why he'd sign for them or how they could afford his wages.

    Julian Rijkhoff? Know he's unproven here, but something different.

    Always been a big fan of his in youth football but seems to have struggled stepping up to senior football

    Intelligent movement and he's a good finisher but I'd worry about his physicality in tbe championship
