Championship striker?

[Blade58]

Poster who gave us Chris Basham before anyone on here and BM knew, has said we are close to signing a championship striker on a 6 month loan

 

[Kenilworth]

My short list of guesses includes:

Nicky Maynard?
Mason Bennett?
Jermain Beckford?
Jamie Mackie?

All are slightly different to Higdon, they need game time and regular football and are not likely to be part of their club's first XI

I was going to include Le Fondre as well but then saw that he joined Cardiff at the end of last season on a three year deal

Craig Davies?

Rumours doing the rounds say we're in for a player from Forest... aside from the current Halford rumour (and looking at their current squad on the BBC website... they've got 7 listed strikers by the way!!), could well be Mackie, Blackstock (unlikely as I think he's injured), Tyler Walker (17 year old, seems to have bagged himself a few goals in the under 21's last season) & some guy called Lars Veldwijk (22 year old Dutch forward who bagged 30 goals in 38 games for Excelsior in the 13 - 14 season).

Jamie Mackie is a fantastic player ,we would walk this league with him ,pace, power ,strength ,enthusiasm ,the only player I have seen bully Morgs on a pitch. Would be an incredible signing.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

I'd be delighted with Mackie, so it will probably be someone else.

 

[Kenilworth]

Craig Davies?

I didn't go for him now that Higdon has arrived - think we need someone more mobile - that's why I didn't include him.

Is that who your ITK person suggested?

No, not at all, it was just that we were rumoured to be linked with him a couple of weeks ago

 

[Mad Mick]

The timing of 6 months is interesting don't you think?

Jamie Mackie is pseudo Scottish as well, ticks all the boxes.

Working in Bracknell I hear snippets about Reading...rumour is that Mackie is off to the Royals. Sorry boys.

Simon cox is, turned down the grunters in favour of Reading

Don't know about this, they've just let Cox go. Unless he's classing Halford as a forward?

Think the Dutch bloke has only signed for em a couple of month ago tho mate, but who knows.

 

[davidpinder]

Clough mentioned a striker from the championship a week or so ago I assume it is the same player as only higdon has signed since

Boooooooooooooooo

 

[ListerBlade]

Mackie would surely be far too good to even come to League 1 on loan? Be an amazing signing if possible though

 

[Roygbiv]

I think we'll have sorted something out with Bennett to be honest

Beckford would work

Steve Davies from Blackpool doing the rounds

I see he used to turn out for Derby

I wrote this on here the other day, the bloke who works with my old man who claims to be in the know told him about the higdon move before it hit the press. He said we have been talking to an experience championship player for 2-3 weeks now however the manager wanted the player to remain through the pre season friendlies before making a decision. He reckons it could be Steve Morison of Leeds who went on loan to Millwall last season. They did of course sign Nicky Ajose this week which will send Morison further down the pecking order but whether it is right or not remains to be seen, Leeds might have been holding out to get their man in Ajose before the agree to let Morison leave on loan again and even if they do it isn't bound to be to us.

Their mad owner Cellino also apparently wants rid of him due to him only having one R in his surname. He is also well known for his views that people called Lee can't spell it 'Leigh', which is why Bromby was removed from their academy and sent to Huddersfield.

That man is a complete fruitloop.

How did he pass a fit and proper test I do not know.

He sounds like he needs to be sectioned.

No Bladesman, Leeds need someone of this calibre, it's the marriage made in heaven. We can only hope his mania will spread through the club and poor decision after poor decision will catch up with him until they're at last on their knees.

You can't call LoughboroBlade that
