If you had the £2 million (from Harry) to spend on a striker who would it be?

[Tony Currie]

For me Britt Assombalonga - Divison top scorer last season and still only 21 and Peterborough a main rival next season.

And would I'm sure cost double the 2 million! Great player admittedly, but out of our price range.

Edit: I think I'd spend it on a couple of strikers; Stevie May and Billy Sharp.

Ched Evans.

Why would he be out of our price range when we allready have money available before Harry goes.

Leg it !!!!!!!

He's basically the forward equivalent of Maguire so if he'd cost more we're underselling Maguire aren't we?

 

[billyblademan]

Leon Clarke?

Paterson? (Ex Walsall now NF scored in Cup?)

 

[Derby_Blade]

I'd hope we'd get at least double that if HM does end up leaving!

 

[Living In a Fantasy World]

Really hard to say, we can only attract so many players being in league 1, I would like to see Sam Winnall from scunny, scored a bagful last season in league 2.

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

David McGoldrick from Ipswich Town. Now coming into his best years at 26.

Decent scoring record in the Championship last 2 or 3 seasons for bottom half sides. Decent height, quick enough and takes up good positions. Would be top three on my list.

 

[blader]

Assombalonga would command over £5m and would only move to a higher division, so that's a no!

Difficult to say for £2m, I've always championed the Sharp signing as I truly believe he is the best of the available and plausible options. If you are against the sharp signing, someone such as winnal, mooney or Craig Davies would be my choices.

 

[Rossb123]

I wouldn't spend the full £2 million, but Sam Baldock is who I would go for. 24 Goals last season and would be a big statement to other teams in this League.

Not too bad a shout with Baldock,as I don't think he got much of a look in at Hoof ball Hammers.
However, he always seemed a big lightweight. I think he might struggle up front on his own.
Unless, you're talking about Baldock as part of 4-4-2.
I would say a robust striker like Craig McKail-Smith is worth a try for Blades.

A) BA has more than one year left on his contract
B) BA is a striker, and strikers go for more money, it's that simple.

Brayford, ched is on his way

I'm not having Assombalonga valued at £5 million.Very good striker in league one, and maybe,just maybe,at championship level aswell.

Reasons for him not been valued at £5 million are:1)apart from 4 appearances for watford and not scoring for them,thats the only time he's been in the championship:2)He's only had one season in league 1,albeit scored 23 goals in 43 matches but still only one season,and 3)Maguire has played 4 matches in the championship, plus England U21 matches in which he has played in,Maguire goes to prem league(not yet)for between £2 to £4 million.Assombalonga to a league 1 club for £5 million,not a flamin chance.

I want us to sign him while we are in this league,but their is no way in this world is he worth £5 million.

Reasons he IS worth £5m+:

1) he is a prolific striker = gold dust
2) he is very young
3) he has a lot of years left on his contract
4) he just is good!
5) he is a striker!!

I realise 1 and 5 are the same but what the hell of a difference that makes. Crap strikers go for millions these days, good young strikers cost a pretty penny. He cost Peterborough £1.5m and he has had a superb season, how much do you think he we could cost? Peterborough would want a real profit to let him go. I'm afraid to say mate £5m would be a steal for Assombalonga. Especially whenyou consider how well they did with dwight Gayle so recently.

Points taken on board blader.I think we could get him for £2million PLUS ADD ONS and i wouldn't say it was superb 1 in 2 games at league 1 level when thats all he's done in his career but he'd do for us right now.
