Being linked with Boro I see.
Apart from being closer to where he currently lives, why on earth would Piroe choose Boro over Town? I could be bias but it’s a no-brainer to come join our project. |  |

Coventry said to be interested as well.
Half of the Championship probably have him on their list. |  |

Probably because we do not see him as someone who can cut it in the Premier League (as shown) and would likely require either a substantial loan fee or a buy. I suspect that if we have to spend big for the 9 position, we are seeking a longer-term solution rather than a short-term fix. |  | | |

Short term would do for now. Get up then worry about long term. |  | | |

I’d take him just to stop them having him tbh. |  | | |

Everything i read, suggests he wont fit how we play...
Appreciating that we "all" want a striker, it HAS to be the right one or we will be in exactly the same position.
Also "unpopular view", Hirst is nowhere near as bad as a lot of our "fans" now believe he is. |  | | |

Hirst is out injured and out of form.
But if he can get back to his normal form, he’s nowhere near as bad as some of our fans think. |  |

He's very similar to Chuba from what I've seen of him in the past, not a no.9, more of a deeper lying 2nd striker. We certainly don't need one of those.
Not sure what the answer is, hoping there is someone abroad we're not aware of because I've not seen a realistic target from this country who is an improvement on what we have. |  | | |

Not sure we've ever been in for him, from what I can tell, it's little more than a rumour that went around at Cov away. |  |

He's everything we should be avoiding IMO.
Not only is he a halfway player who clearly isn't good enough for the PL but he's not really the profile of an Ipswich Town No 9 in KM's system. | | | |

Would rather see us outbidding Sheff Utd for Bamford's signature on a short-term contract just to see us over the line.
Bring him in purely as back-up for Hirst.
I appreciate Azon's commitment & team ethos - but we need someone that can score a bit more regularly & knows this league well. |  | | |

Which is why we need him. Hirst has been hamstrung by not having as much space as we now attack slower and spend more time in the final third. We need a striker who can find space in and around the penalty area and score plenty when most players would get smothered by the defence. Piroe is that type of player. |  |

That was the cause of the immediate return to the Championship last season. | | | |

Well then Piroe isn’t the answer long term. On the other hand I can’t see us finding a player for that position at this time of the year who will then go on and play in the PL straight off. You are talking an awful lot of money and if those existed the like of Wolves and Wet Spam would still have the pulling power. So, for me had to be a championship type player. Then worry about it in the summer if we get promoted. | | | |

I disagree. From what Sunderland have done, it's clear we weren't able to hire quite enough quality in, not that we made too many changes. They practically got a whole new squad. |  |

I get the impression we did that with Akpom and Brum |  |

We could just outbid them from a wages perspective. |  |

Nope.
He scored 19 goals last year at this level, we need to get there, we’ve signed multiple players since promotion for big money that aren’t good enough for the PL.
In January it’s about getting over the line and figuring out the rest later. [Post edited 4 Jan 2:20]

Exactly, look how many players started the playoff final that are in their 11 weeks in week out. It’s ALL about recruitment, physicality, athleticism and players usually from top leagues abroad that want PL football. We failed miserably in all aspects last time in this regard with our EFL English speaking strategy. | |

Agreed with two established prem teams likely to come down this year going straight back up is absolutely vital. Of course buying a prem ready striker would be great but chances of that are virtually zero. | |

Agree with you, fit confident HIrst is as good as any. | | | |

You never know when there is a sleeper in the foreign leagues.
Have we started looking at the continent, Central and South America? Asia?
Wonder how is the foreign recruitment network now? Any improvement by MA? | | | |
