| A Marquee striker would be fantastic - but everyone is looking for that 23:21 - Dec 28 with 2048 views | Grief | in the January Transfer window. I am sure we have some top targets, but they may not want to come here for whatever reason. Trust in the process, i , like many were a bit underwhelmed with the arrival of Kieffer Moore two years ago, but he was a major factor in us going up! Whoever we get, give him a chance. Hirst's injury is a blow, but there is a player here in Azon and with a bit of luck, he could easily be on 6-8 goals. He is another who is working really hard off the ball. get behind hm. Finally a number of you believed Philogene was a complete waste of money, you all now worship him, McAteer is a decent player, Kmac will improve him too, keep the faith. Happy New Year to you all, still half the season to go, we have the strongest squad in the division, "the cream rises to the top!" |  | | |  |

It's almost like there isn't a plethora of quality number 9s available within our budget who would fit our style of play and be willing to come here. |  |

I still have my milk delivered, I'll have you know. My missus insists on it. Although I don't know why she has to go down in her nightie to take the bottles in person every morning, nor why it takes her so long to put them away and get back upstairs, nor why she has to shake and clink the bottles so much before slamming them down on the dining room table every day. Still, it's good for the environment. |  |

If only we could have kept Ogbene rather than spending £12m of our budget on McAteer |  | |  |

I am not likening us to Arsenal but when they struggle to find the right striker, until they eventually signed Gyokeres, you know it’s a tough position to fill. I think we were very lucky/ clever to get hold of Delap for that short period of time (and Hutchinson too.) Imagine this team with those two in - but there’s not a queue of like for like players. Walle-Egeli another great piece of business but needs time, were finding the right players but as others have said there’s not many in the positions we want that want to play in the Championship. Despite Wolves coming down- most players would want half a season with them in the Prem over us, just to showcase their talent on a bigger stage. Shame but very faith things will work out and hopefully a couple of decent signings in Jan. |  |

As an aside on Hutchinson, did anyone notice there was no somersault celebration after his equaliser against Citeh on Saturday ? Seems like playing for forest is not quite as joyful as playing for Town. |  |

Wouldn’t have cost us £12m though given we already had him |  | |  |

Not really; you’re saying we couldn’t afford the striker we wanted but we could afford £12m on a replacement who is at best the same ability as the player he replaced |  | |  |

Dont think hes saying that But herbz said within our budget. A budget that could have had £12 mill more available had it not been used on mcateer |  |

Well he was given an opportunity at the beginning of the season and McKenna had clearly seen enough to send him out on loan. He cost us £8m, and I can honestly say he done nothing more in his games than McAteer done for us. But don’t let that get in the way of your agenda. |  |

He looked good at points last season, particularly in the Brentford game he got injured. McAteer was a ridiculous signing. I’m sure Kieran Knows |  | |  |
| A Marquee striker would be fantastic - but everyone is looking for that on 10:21 - Dec 29 with 648 views | gosblue | I'll be surprised if anything happens early January. Once Prem teams get their shopping sorted, they may be looking to offload. A young loanee with a permanent option wouldn't be such a bad thing. BTW, i think we need a fourth CB. We couldnt risk all 3 senior CBs in a back 3 without back up. |  | |  |

That's not what I said. I said that finding a striker in our price range who suits our style of play and wants to join us isn't easy. That we signed McAteer who isn't a striker, was in our price range, and wanted to join us doesn't really have anything to do with that. |  |
