    Why do we need a striker? At the moment we're fine there. If anyone goes then that's different but we've got:

    Altidore, Fletcher, Sessegnon, Wickham and Ji

    That's enough imo. If Ji leaves then we should bring someone else in

    But for now all we need imo is the other 3 you mentioned

    The jury is out for me with Altidore. I know I've only seen him in 2 friendly's on a terrible pitch and I'm not basing my judgement on these 2 friendly's but I'm just not too sure about him.
    I reckon Connor will step up to the mark this season though.

    We need another striker because,Altidore is unproven in prem,ji is probably on his way.
    Whickham and sess,well between the two how many goals have they got?
    So for me we need a proven goal scorer,god knows who that would be.
    Also i cannot see fletcher back fully up and running until sept-october,thats if there is no set back on his injury

    I'm confident purely because he was our main striker target

    I have to admit the same on jozy and also given the chance connor could do the biz

    Taking into consideration the bereavement, i just think an instinctive striker would have buried one of those chances on weds, still showed positive signs though

    Aye but odds are any other striker we bring in will be unproven in the prem

    I reckon this is the year Sess will finally start to score consistently. Wickham could have only got better so he will chip in with the odd goal

    IF Ji does go then we'll probably bring one in as PDC has said he wants 5 strikers, which is also another reason I can't see us bringing one in

    Will Wickham ever a get a run in the team allowing him to build relationships and showing us what he can do? I think not. Shame imo cos I believe he is a good footballer. Unfortunately he is once again gonna be 3rd or 4th choice striker.

    Just wish some people on here and the media would stop calling him a flop. He's never had a chance. Admittedly PDC could have hit the nail on the head with "he's a playboy" but if you dont buckle down under his regime your out. He's still here so hopefully PDC does see something in him.

    Even if Jozy doesnt score the goals, i think with his size and how well he holds the ball up we may get more goals from the likes of Sess, AJ and Jacky this season.

    I would be very surprised if Connor will still be hear after the transfer window closes, the kid just dosn't do enough to warrant a run in he side, don't think he has a good football brain. Physically you can't fault him he looks like an athlete but he dosn't get into many good positions and he tends to drift out of the game for long periods.

    all depends on out goings really

    as for the best side we could put out we need a new LB, RB and creative CM

    as for the rest it depends who goes. Cuellar never got any minutes in Hong Kong, could he be off? If so we would need a new CB.

    Catts and Vaughan are most likely to be at new clubs come September and if so a new CM is needed

    Mavrias to replace McClean as well

    Shiney, I hear what your saying mate but Danny Graham. A 13 match run in the team for what? Absolutely sweet FA. Young Wickham has never had that chance. I agree its highly unlikely he will ever get that run with Fletch & Alti, at least, ahead of him but imo will still come good for some premier team.

    You will only see the best of Wickham in 3 or 4 years time. Hope we keep him to see him reach his peak.

    We bought him for the future lets not sell him cheap as he wasn't an instant success.

    Great point, we would take a massive hit if we sold him now, if he's not gonna feature we should loan him back to ipswich or somebody

    Ps at the airshow watching the wing walkers, bairn said it would be much better if they werent strapped on, they would die i replied, nah dad they'd fall into the sea and that would be funny, lol kids
