But he did well carrying an injury before with 4 goals. How can that be nothing?! I could understand if you only watched him in the Prem. He struggled (not the only one).
He's also just shown why he can be of value this half already.
Can we get better. Yes. And think we will sign one better. But we can save ourself several million as I think he's more than good cover in the champ in an attacking side. |
Mote from before the PL. I thought he ran around largely ineffectively in the Championship, but that’s only my view. He just didn’t seem ready then. There’s obviously something there, so hopefully with a full pre-season and we’ll see the best from him. |  |

I think we’ll bring in 2 ahead of him and that will be that.
I’d wish him well, he’s got some raw physicality but I don’t think he’ll feature much this season. I wouldn’t be surprised if he drops to L1 or a much lower Championship team. |  | | |

It’s not a good match for the player or the club in current state though.
Being second striker would be v.worrying for us.
Being third striker would be bad for his career. I’d look to move him. |  | | |

Yes I think whether it is right for him is definitely a fair question to be asking. If we get a good profit Nd he gets to play somewhere week in and out then that's probably a good outcome for all.
For us as 3rd choice it's all good.
On balance we will probo let him go. Good decisions to have is probably the best thing you could say. |  |

Yeah, I just don’t want to be going to Birmingham with him as the first replacement on the bench for Hirst, seems possible but 6 weeks to go before it all shuts. Been a bit quiet on strikers in general but maybe that’s not a bad thing. [Post edited 19 Jul 19:16]

What sort of player do you think would fit the third striker role? | | | |

I don't think he as bad as many seem to think, and he has a knack of making things happen. McKenna must have seen some potential in him too, or he wouldn't have bought him when we were pressing for promotion from the Championship. [Post edited 19 Jul 19:45]

Basically, a Championship hardened 34 year old who's happy to only start a few games a season, or a wonder kid plucked from the academy who needs the experience.
Given we don't have either of those, I'm coming round to the idea that we might actually be quite lucky to have Al Hamadi as a third choice. He's not my favourite player in the world, but he has been carrying injuries previously, and if he's fit now we might as well keep him as third choice, IF he's happy to play that role.
What we must avoid is going into the season with only Hirst and Al Hamadi, which as we already know will not end well. |  | | |

Kone on the basis the third will still play football this season in cup and sub appearances in 3 game weeks. The Millwall striker or similar as the second/first competing with Hirst.
If not someone more battle tested who’s happy with limited football.
Essentially with Hirsts record the third striker have a bit more of a higher ceiling or be more proven as may have to play more than we think. | | | |

Yup. If he goes in to the season as 2nd/3rd choice striker again then you’d imagine something has seriously gone wrong on the recruitment front… [Post edited 20 Jul 8:25]

You won't get many better 3rd choice strikers then him. |
We have to get a second-choice striker first.
At the moment, we're relying on Hirst staying fit and AAH is too near to being first-choice for comfort.
Third-choice means someone who'll play in the early rounds of the League Cup and might get a few minutes here and there. I'm happy with AAH being third-choice, but I'm worried he'll get elevated by injury.
Being fair... he wouldn't be the worst third-choice striker. | | | |

Yeah what’s happened to him have I missed something?
Although it seems a lot of the old faces aren’t here anymore - Glassers Bloots Factual etc |  |

That's a pretty hard sell though.
Someone like Kone would have other offers and saying "you're 3rd choice, you might play a few games" isn't likely to compete with clubs where he might even be first choice.
I think unless it's AAH, the 3rd striker is a hard position to fill in a team that plays one striker.

I really hope he can make it at Town.
His videos from before signing often showed him cutting in from the Left, with the strength and enough pace to shrug off defenders, and shooting with power. Not dissimilar from Delap's directness last season, albeit two levels further down the pyramid.
I love whole-hearted players, and players who play with a smile on their face, and he could be one of those for us. If the ITFC brand messaging about facing, embracing and overcoming adversity are genuine, he has already done that in his young life far more than most do in a long lifetime, and if he does succeed at Town he will have done it the hard way, through working at it, perseverance and refusal to allow the opportunity to pass him by.
I've just got a feeling that once it clicks for him he will be a great player for us. | | | |

Clarke playing at RW is interesting |
I like that a lot. Personally think he might be more suited to our RW role than our LW one. |  |

And allows for Szmodics or Broadhead to play as a more inside left attacker in the three behind Hirst, with Leif overlapping outside. Or both of them together and interchanging as Left Striker and 10, to give the opposition Right Centre Back (in a back four) questions as to which to track.
(I like Broadhead and want him to stay and for us to make the best use of him) | | | |
