    Apparently we are making enquiries about signing Josh King & David Brooks from Bournemouth.

    Brooks is absolutely mint! King was obviously quite hot a couple of years ago but seemed to go badly off the boil this season so not as sure on his attitude but I'm certain he is a better CF than what we have got.

    Setting the bar high there.

    I agree about Brooks, but can't see us getting him. I'd rather have Wilson than King off them

    Lol. Both are decent TBF. Wilson is more of an out and out CF so what we need. I do think King has the potential to get a bit sulky and stop performing. Wilson always trys hard

    Don't have a problem with either of them. King would strengthen us up front and Brooks has a lot of potential and is a very mobile midfielder which is what we need.

    I think Brooks is a really good player and we should get him in if possible. Not as sold on King from this seasons performances. Was scoring a fair few the previous seasons though so maybe with decent service he would do a good job

    Agreed.
    They are premiership players.
    We are a mid table championship club on the pitch.
    PL club off the pitch.
    Non league in terms of bog standards.

    Good players but they'll have plenty of suitors just like Wilson. I can't see us being the most attractive option.

    Big problem for us is that we've not been great at creating opportunities and if you are a CF thinking about a move you must consider if you think you are going to be playing in a team that will make chances for you to score.

    If i could take one player from the relegated clubs, it would be Brooks.
    Wishful thinking.
