Would Jonson Clarke-Harris be a decent alternative? Can’t say that I know that much about him other than last night and the two games against us.
He’s obviously physical and knows where the goal is, but does he have the same work rate as Hirst? |  |

Don't think he's really the same type of player, don't think he does the chasing that McKenna requires.
He's also going to be 29 when the season starts and would cost quite a bit so wouldn't seem to fit into the model being used by the club for transfers.
I'd be surprised.

Thanks. I’ll be very disappointed if we dint get Hirst. He seems to have everything that McKenna requires in a centre forward. | |

Yes don’t think he quite has the mobility we need. Can’t really see a scenario where we don’t get him - we’ll pay the fee and Leicester will want the £, and have a load of players ahead of him whatever league they’re in. |  | | |

Not for me. Lacks mobility and, dare I say it, looks like he’s carrying some timber. I can’t see him pressing from the front, which KM seems to value. He’s a decent finisher in the right set up, but probably needs a more direct style of play | |

Personally, i think we should/probably will be setting our sights higher than JCH. | | | |

I would guess that ‘if’ Peterborough join us in the Championship, they will want to hang onto him.
Give me Hirst any day over him. |  | | |

For me he's clearly talented, not dissimilar to Ladapo but probably a more natural goalscorer
Personally I'd prefer a work horse who can run the channels and occupy defenders, I reckon we will try and get Hirst and one other potentially
I wouldn't be surprised if we get another number 10 and probably a centre back |  |

I Agree he looks like he has put in loads of weight to me as well ..
Doesn’t look mobile enough by a mile for what we wanted |  | | |

Both not good enough for a side hoping for promotion to the Premier league | | | |

Not for me.
Would like to see Budgies pay over the odds for him if Posh don't go up, and subsequently have a mediocre season.
I'm hoping this post ages like a fine Chianti. |  |

Surprised you don’t know too much about him. We were rumoured to be in for him 3-years ago when he left Rovers and he’s been banging them in at League One level for a while. | | | |

Absolutely not.. and I would expect the Club to have a similar viewpoint.
JCH was a bit of a troublemaker having some run ins with the law in his adolescence and still rolls in some of those same circles.
Talented player and may not be quite the tear away he used to be, but I think our recruitment is more holistic now and don’t think we would take risks on players temperaments etc that we perhaps used to (Chopra, Taylor etc.) |  | | |

No for me. Not the right profile for the club or team. Work rate, style, age, the cost would not be worth the punt with no resale. | |

I think we’ll look to real pedigree, but maybe a developing player again. Much like the Hirst type. I could be wrong of course.
We’ll need a top class striker to get on the end of Ward-Prowse’s free kicks of course. |  |

There's the lad at Blackpool who seems to be highly rated, I wonder if we will look at him again?
Interestingly we were linked with Armstrong at Southampton which would suggest serious intent | |
