    I'd prefer a technique player myself as they also have to carry out a cm role too. Fletch is our best finisher, If we're tweaking to help create chances there's only one place on pitch I'd want him and that's in the box. Fletch will score for fun with service

    I have reservations about him with his back to goal, its his weak point, against Villa we got ourselves in good positions until Whicks kept on taking on a shot on instead of playing in a colleague, would you let these two fight it out for the one position up front and play Giacca just behind either of them ?

    Difficult to say so close to the transfer window. I'm very open minded at the moment. I would only play Fletch or Connor as a striker though, I don't think either are good enough to play anywhere else but that's just my own opinion.

    I'd sell the buggers and buy a couple of strikers instead!

    I'm still the same mate. I'd listen to offers on for all of the 4 senior strikers. All 4 were purchased under other managers visions. I'd like to Gus to have a couple of strikers who were scouted to his specifications.

    Giach has to play second striker to either Conner or Fletch. We need a left sided lad with pace. No more square pegs, we all know where that goes. Start with Conner thru the middle , its time to see if he can kick on from last season.

    Mind Funky, reading your comments again, yer right, I wouldn't have any of them here, not one of them cut the mustard. Some on here who make excuses for them are clueless !!!!

    You'll be waiting a while fella, Gus doesn't fill that hole. It could be filled by playing Giacc in CM and make progressing into that area part of his role but Gus won't play a 2nd striker, he won't budge on the system which has made us hard to beat. Shame as Alvarez has played 2nd striker a lot too. We have the options to do it.

    One thing that is sure....Altidore and Graham are surplus to requirements and must be sold!
