Strikers...

[Putney Blade]

Read somewhere need three more players to fill NC's quota. Surely two of these have to be strikers? Nothing has really changed from last season. And we know striking wasn't our strength. Miller out. McNulty in (unproven). Porter (poor) regrettably stays. Baxter? Is he a striker?

Must have got a quid or two from the FA Cup run & our Saudi friend..

Callum Wilson & Billy Sharp anybody?

"Callum Wilson & Billy Sharp anybody?"
I thought Wilson was going to Wolves, so unlikely.
Who knows when it comes to Sharp, it might be a waste in time chasing him, thought a deal would have been done by now since Southampton clearly don't want him, he's on his last year of his contract and he is a blade, but no something as occurred.
Clough is not a fool, he will have a plan A and plan B, probably even as a plan Z just in case,I will be shocked if we are nit fully prepared for next season, Clough has not wasted any time so far to bring in new players and to get players contracted.

I reckon we need a RB, a utility defender to provide cover for Bob Harris at LB and the centre backs. We still need AT LEAST one more striker and perhaps one more midfielder. I am confident that Clough will have us well prepared for the season ahead, but I can't help feeling that the signings we have made could have been made last season before the Prince's investment. Hope to see some of that money being spent and also the money from our cup run when the transfer window opens.

Whilst we've got a thread 'strikers' can any one fill us all in with situation with regards to Paynter, has he gone?

Went back to parent club and was promptly released!

Why would a striker thread make you think of Paynter ?

 

[davidpinder]

I can't believe how difficult it is for us to get a striker in, we seem to have no problem attracting good players in all other departments you would have thought a proven striker would jump at the chance to join knowing competition for places isn't exactly there.

No but we are seeded for cap 1 cup

I thought Clough had said we werent looking at Billy?

I dont want him back, too slow and offside too often, he was at his peak 4 or 5 years ago now. its time to get someone up and coming rather then someone on their way down (especially one whos failed with us twice before)

Best post on the thread. Panties in a wad and players are still on holiday. What next, Clough hasn't won a game this month sack him?

Billy needs a full pre-season and then season with the one team. He has not had that since leaving Doncaster to Southampton. Years of loans must be sole destroying

In other news

Sky Sports understands that Chris O'Grady's proposed move toCharlton from Barnsley is off after he failed to agree personal terms with the Addicks.It remains to be seen whether Charlton will make an improved offer to the striker and we will keep you posted with any further developments.

Sole destroying and form destroying, If we're going for auto then we dont need a striker who needs rehabilitating first, might as well wait on Ched. Fingers crossed McNulty will hit the ground running like Scoogs

Chris O'Gradys move to Charlton has fallen through...
