Do we need another striker!? 23:13 - Aug 24 with 4179 views | EssexBloo | Delap looks good. Hirst when fit a very adequate back up. |  | | |  |
Do we need another striker!? on 23:27 - Aug 24 with 4077 views | Nutkins_Return | Yes. We do. We are light there. Ladapo will be sold and Ali A-H needs to go and play for a season in the champ. |  |

Do we need another striker!? on 23:28 - Aug 24 with 4065 views | GavTWTD | I still think Delap was bought with one eye on Burns rotation. |  |

Do we need another striker!? on 23:30 - Aug 24 with 4046 views | WeirdFishes | I think the very fact we were going to sign Broja says we do. Having someone at that level rather than Al-Hamadi will be huge for us. No disrespect intended to AAH I like him a lot but I don’t think he’s PL ready. |  |

Yep. I think this is where he will play. Hence Ali won't go out on loan. |  | |  |
Do we need another striker!? on 01:40 - Aug 25 with 3837 views | Stewart27 | Yes. We use two strikers every single game. Therefore we can’t have only two strikers. |  | |  |

Agreed, he played on the right side of a front 3 most of the time at Hull and has the pace and running power to play that position well. If Broja comes in next week, that's where i think we'll see Delap. |  | |  |
Do we need another striker!? on 06:00 - Aug 25 with 3592 views | PioneerBlue | Yes assuming there’s one that can hit the ground running. Otherwise make do. I agreed plan for Delap was ideally to rotate with Burns or offer late legs for a front line striker. |  |

Do we need another striker!? on 06:44 - Aug 25 with 3520 views | USA | We definitely do. AAH won’t ever make it in the Prem. He’s a strong runner and that’s it. He has shown absolutely nothing else. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

You're basing that on half a season where he was carrying an injury and a few minutes against 2 of the top 3 teams from last season? Seems rational! |  | |  |
Do we need another striker!? on 07:00 - Aug 25 with 3452 views | Help | Yes, otherwise the club would not have been after either broja or ionis. Or anyone else. |  |

Eh? He's good size, good athlete, shown he is a predator, shown absolute desire to chase things down, press, cause defenders issues. His stats are impressive. Lad on TWTD says "He's shown absolutely nothing else". Tough ask for him to jump to prem and he's better I think to go and have a season in the champ. He's probably not ready to make the impact we need and we won't take the gamble if we can help it. |  |

Do we need another striker!? on 11:48 - Aug 25 with 2665 views | cressi | We need two strikers in my view if Al Hamidi did go on loan. If not at least one. |  | |  |

I'm afraid Al Hamadi has not got the technical abilities to make it unless vast improvement. |  | |  |

Do we need another striker!? on 15:25 - Aug 25 with 2313 views | LeoMuff | We absolutely Do, firstly we always rotate so 2 are needed all the time, plus we have no idea if Delap or Hirst will cut it at this level, Delap looks very promising and Hirst is injured. |  |

Basing it on what I’ve seen, yes correct. I don’t understand what others have seen to think he can make it in the Prem. |  | |  |

Seems like we agree then. Pressing/causing issues/good athlete = a strong runner, which I said. I think he was bought for the Champ and will be a casualty of our rapid rise. Please let me know what stats have Impressed you? |  | |  |

But isn't that what all footballers do, ie they improve over a period of time? I'm sure KM would have said no to buying Al Hamadi if he didn't think he has the basic technical ability to improve and reach a higher level. |  | |  |
