Very true Bob. On the positive side, at least he’d be worth a very pretty shiny penny.Exactly this. If we did manage to unearth one then we wouldn't have him for very long!

I wouldn't say that our strikers aren't good enough for this level. I would say that they are at maybe their level. If Dykes had got 15-20 goals last season, he wouldn't be with us this season, that's for sure. I think our game and goals are hoping to he shared around the front line rather than an out and out goal scoring machine. Dykes, willock, chair, Roberts, Richards etcBut yet again, that wasn't the question ! The question was who could Col see us getting upfront, which again was avoided with the dexterity of a Tory politician. Our budget this window has been £0, which is pretty much a joke. We have made 2 derisory offers for Mcnamara which were clearly not gonna be accepted, so we should've moved on earlier and found a right back on loan such as the Chelsea kid. We have 2 strikers who we know aren't good enough at this level and Armstrong who's untried. Good strikers get you out of this league, simple, until we address this matter once and for all then we don't realistically stand a chance of getting back to the Premier League. We are obviously waiting to take a Premier league striker on loan, but the queue for them will be long and not too sure on the quality of those that will be made available, I can't see Villa letting Archer go out so we could end up with someone like Balagun who didn't impress at Boro last season.

The fact is Beale knows we desperately need a decent striker, he will work with what we have but you can tell in his interviews how badly he wants a decent one to implement his style of play. The very fact he keeps mentioning Armstrong so much and is taking him up north tomorrow, gives me hope the young lad might get an opportunity to show everyone what he can do !I wouldn't say that our strikers aren't good enough for this level.

Need Dickie to start shooting again
I would love to see Armstrong get a run in the team.The fact is Beale knows we desperately need a decent striker, he will work with what we have but you can tell in his interviews how badly he wants a decent one to implement his style of play.

Hope they give him a longer one1 a4 sheet
Hope they give him a longer one
Rowett didn't make that sound too likely!Interesting to see that Millwall left their right back out of the squad for the game v Stoke. Maybe a deal will be done this week
