seen my first facebook complaint about the club and the striker situation (btw, the lad is an exile and certainly puts the miles in to go to the games) ...i expected nowt to happen during the tour as TM and others had a good look at what they have.
being honest, the striker situation is not good but i am sure the club are looking into it, anyone with a decent strike rate will start at a premium fee and wages (some will have agents that think the player is worth a lot more than they are) and most will not want a '2nd fiddle' role, LND is a difficult one to sort and personally i feel it might be better to take a decent offer and replace (not an easy task) because, as it stands, we have a player who is getting towards the end of a pretty bad injury that might affect his game, there is no indication of how long it will be before he gets into full training then how long to get fully up to game speed and any slight niggle could knock him back a couple of weeks so potentially we could be looking the end of the year before we really find out if the 'old LND' returns.
currently, i would prefer to see any contract situations sorted, giving the club time to 'find and replace', loans will not be really thought about until the premier clubs have sorted themselves out..could be the last week or two before we see any more new names in the club.
