I thought QPR were in for Bamford? Washington as well? Not the usual enormous wedge P'boro manage to extract for strikers!
They're after two strikers, so the fact they're getting Washington doesn't necessarily mean they're not still in for Bamford.
All around us are strengthening in key positions, or at least trying to. We in the other hand are exceedingly quiet, worryingly so. We should really be flexing our muscle and bringing in some firepower. Even if it is just to lay down a marker and say we've just put 6 past Charlton, but we want to be even stronger.
I think I'd take him for a few months. Thought he was the only thing Bolton had against us. Bring him on to hold the ball up last twenty. He'll do a job.
Any figures mentioned for Hayden? I'd definitely take him, hes only 20 still learning, mobile, strong, probably the best midfield tackler we have. Only going to increase in value
I know we don't have any money. But money should be made available if the club whether under the Allams or under our perspective new owners want a better guarantee of PL football. A signing doesn't have to cost a fee, wages yes. We could have Kermorgant and Campbell on a free. Or someone like Paddy Madden for a nominal amount, by nominal probably £1.5m maximum. Beyond Hernandez, we look weak in attack.
Shame we can't get Pelle on loan, he's been told he can leave Southampton. Who else would Steve Bruce want? Is Asamoah Gyan still pissing about in China? Edit: he's on £227,000 a week
Don't know how many Derby fans you know but as far as I'm aware they're all impressed with Camara, he's a player of the sort they didn't have - a natural wide man. They're not too keen on Blackman but that's mainly due to them thinking he occupies the same position as Ince, and they think Ince is better, whilst Blackman has got square pegged into being a centre forward, which he's not.
