If we have clubs wanting our players we should be asking who they have that fits our requirements ...
... play them at their own game.

I'll say it (only because no one else has) Miles Leaburn....
No idea who we can afford, and I know almost bollocks all about any foreign player we might be able to sign.
But from what I've seen, I'd love Jebbison if that is feasible. He looked a real prospect to me everytime I saw him play, including up here.
Mind, they'd be nuts to let him go, though a loan might be possible.
By and large though, I'm in the pretty calm about it all camp. I always assumed this season would be at least as hard as last season and will be happy with the high part of the middle eight .
But it's true we need to bring in a goal threat, and it needs sorting. We need to win more when we aren't playing well and not scoring wonder goals.

I will throw a name out there. Michael Obafemi. I know he only went to Burnley last January, but was a sub mostly. I dont see him playing a lot of Premier League football personally. I like his style of play, aggressive runner, a sharp striker and can go wide as well. Was always a fan at Swansea. No idea if Burnley gave him a bumper pay packet, but I would like to think his wages would be within our means, having this time last year been at Swansea. He brings some know how of this league, and has a solid track record. Plus we could annoy Burnley with an inital offer of £1m. He would fancy his chances of being a regular starter, I would think him and Stewart would work well together too. I would certainly be knocking on Burnleys door.
There is a young lad at Liverpool as well who I would take a loan shot at called Oakley Cannonier. Coach I know says he is a proper prospect. Mowbray is well liked by Liverpool top brass as well. Could be a really exciting one.

I could see him fitting in well, but he isnt the quickest. Might be on a decent wedge as well.
The thing is, he guarantees goals. I would be almost certain he gets minimum 15 in our side. Others have said his character is a problem, which if so makes him a non starter with out young side. If his character is solid, and to be fair Darren Ferguson always picks him, then I struggle to understand why so much angst about him. Tell you something, when I have seem him play, I wouldnt fancy marking his movement.
Haven’t seen that but not unlikely, they’re more desperate for forwards than we are!
People will laugh at me. Gelhardt back here would suit me just fine. Looks to be a lad that will do everything you ask of him and that is worth its weight in gold. There is a real talent in there and he can finish, he just lacks a bit of faith in himself for me.
Oscar Bobb is an unbeliveable talent according to a lad I know at City. They are guessing but think he is like Foden and Pep will keep him close. Not an out and out striker either but some player. One of my top 10 u21s to watch.
Of all the linked players the Ukrainian lad looks the best to my eye. Would be something of a coup, but right in out sweet spot. He has the style of play that would light up our fans.
Hes quality but 100% not a striker, probably best in a free role - loves to drop deep for the ball
Quality in possession n great balance about him
I was never sure about him at Burton. Saw a bit of him and wasnt convinced. Then he came on for Sheff Utd and bullied us. There is something there, I would think he is one that is lacking game experience. Then again, what do I know and if Harvey and co pick him for a prem loan I will be excited.
I really like this lad but i can imagine all the comments if we did sign him 'hes not experienced tho'
I like him but we’re well stocked at 10 where he’d be best suited. Dack, Pritchard, possibly Jobe, Embleton when fit, Ba and Rigg can all play there potentially.
I was sent some video clips of him and I just thought wow. David Silva esque, stupid as that is to say. I wait to see where he goes.
But here is the thing. I watch Rigg and wouldnt swap. Not at all. I can only judge on my eyes, but as a coach I would be drooling over a player like Rigg. Another stupid comment, but he has every tool needed to be the perfect attacking midfielder.
I know what you mean mate, and agree 100%. I would happily play him at 9 though
He may not get hatfuls of goals, but the hassle he gives cente backs would be lovely for Roberts, Clarke, Rigg, Dack etc.
Hopefully there are a couple of PL loans being lined up. We have a good reputation for using young players now and there must be some top end PL clubs desperate to lend us a couple of young talents
