    So as usual nothing seems to be coming off

    Hooper obviously doesn't fancy the project
    Crouch ditto
    Saviola just a load of paper talk

    Meanwhile 'Arry seems happy with Zamora & AJ which we all know will end in tears and the medical room and sees Karl Henry as strategically more important than adel

    Nothing ever changes does it?

    I think this week will change Wuba its got to, only two weeks till first game & i think after watching those pre-season games he knows the importance of strikers well i hope so anyway, could be a busy week!

    Lots of talk about Austin having agreed terms on twatter.

    I really can't believe Harry and Co don't intend to strengthen further. Two weeks can be a long time.

    Agree Belfast but we're running out of quality options

    Shouldn't have been so quick to release DJ until we'd actually secured the others in my opinion

    Dj came on for Rovers as a sub and scored within a minute the other day.

    Yes I do think Arry is too quick to write players off

    DJ has gone - should have kept him
    Mackie - persistent rumours about him going to forest
    Adel - sent home possibly correctly but to sell our most creative player would be a mistake

    We still have Remy at the moment but we can't count on him being around all season if at all

    I would have rather kept Bothroyd over Zamora too. He's got a good scoring record at Championship level.

    No I didn't rate bothroyd even when we first went for him. Far too lazy

    I'd have preferred to keep cisse

    Maybe he was a bit lazy. But his scoring rate at Championship level is rather good - certainly better than anyone else's left at the Club.

    Time to turn to the greatest striker of my lifetime - Arthur Scargill. Plays very wide left.

    We STILL have Taraabt, Remy, Zamora, Johnson and Mackie. When someone leaves I am sure we will get someone in. Praying for Hooper but Austin would be a good signing as well.

    Clutching at straws but we can also play Hoilett up front.

    I was hopeful that we might have Remy until January, but he has not played in pre-season games. Taraabt will not be selected and the other three are just no good. We desperately need to sign a goalscorer.

    Agree Wubba. Just hoping Harry plays his cards close to his chest. We'll see what he's got eventually and judge him on that.

    sb-73 LOL! Just had a mental picture of him flying up the wing, breezing past defenders, comb over blowing in the wind and socks around his ankles a la Dave Thomas!
