Why not?

Hardly likely to be a starter & he'd be a useful player for when we'll need to go to plan B + he wouldn't cost alot in wages I would imagine.
 
He's peaked quite late in his career, he wouldn't have played so many games in the Championship recently if he wasn't a good target man. So I'm sure he could be useful in L1. But I wouldn't want him to be starting every game, and it depends on wages. But we do need a target man.
 

There is a player in Alex Revell. I would prefer him to be the 'big lad' as he is more mobile than people like Hanson, who I would hate for us to sign.

I'm with you that Revell would be better than Hanson. Its just a shame that Revell is 32 now. He is the right that of player though that we need as a big lad up front.
 
Would love Revell here.

However cannot see Charlton allowing us to beat them to Wilder / Duffy and Revell.

Can see him signing there and reuniting with his old boss Russel Slade!
 
He hasn't scored any more than 6 goals in a season since 13/14.

And he's 32.

I think its commonly accepted that we need a physical striker, not necessarily for the first 11 - but as an option on the bench or for certain games maybe.

The thing with these types of players is that there aren't many with the physical attributes, nous, and skill in the 'young' bracket.
 
I’d prefer a big forward with other attributes like pace (in the Akinde mould) but if we are determined to go down the traditional “I’m a target man and nothing else” route, I don’t think there’s a lot between Revell and Hanson and both could do a job. Revell’s a hard worker and could do a Cresswellesque role but Sharp’s not quick meaning we’d lack pace up front with 2 ageing strikers.
 


What?! We've lost out on our number one target to Northampton!? ;-). Decent signing for them. I think he'd do us a job but I'd rather someone like John Akinde - without knowing that much about him either, but he's big, he's black and he's younger (not meaning it to sound gay there)! And his name is an easy one for a chant!

32, guaranteed starts, no need to move, tidy deal for him.
