Phil please say you’ve heard something re a new striker 20:05 - Jan 31 with 10908 viewsThe_Romford_Blue

My man ITK said there’s literally not a single name being thrown around at all.

Piroe a fortnight ago and Bamford before that but right now.. nobody.

We NEED a new striker. It’s so so painfully obvious hirst is gone at the game. And Azon, as likeable as he is, is still Azon.

Poll: Would you take a draw tonight if offered right now?

It's an utter dereliction of duty if we can't upgrade on Hirst. We knew Delap was likely off since last Jan, so why the hell haven't we got someone lined up in 12 months?! If we're so data driven, the dashboard should be spouting out potential candidates all the time.

As well as Ashton's bragged-about list of replacements for each and every position.

A loan would be disappointing. Need a permanent addition. If we don’t, a monumental failure.

Depends on the player.

If a loan with an obligation to buy on promotion is the only way of getting in one of those 'scary' PL-quality targets we've been promised since just before the ST renewal packs went out, I wouldn't be against it.

If it's, say, Jebbison on loan (as Mick Mills seems to think is possible despite *checks notes* him already being on loan at Preston from Bournemouth), then you're right - it would be somewhat of a failure and would reek of desperation and poor planning.

Why? A loan fired us up last time. We should be thinking about the next 4 months, anything could happen thereafter and likely will.

We had all this in the woeful Evans era. Why on earth rely on so many loans? We sign another … we PAY someone to sit out. Why? Poor planning for me.

If, a big if, we don’t go up, we are rebuilding again as the loans go back. Sorry, but for me it’s not good.

Agree, we need to get over the line. A loan would be fine.

We can have more than 5, just no more than 5 in the final 20 man match squad.

So if, say, Awoniyi was available, but was only interested in a loan-with-obligation (as he wouldn't want to be stuck in the Championship next season), you'd turn down that deal?

Not that worried about it, there’s at least a couple of subs that never really have a shot of playing. Whatever it takes to upgrade the position is the important thing.

How about any of our rivals who've been able to bag a striker target within the last FOUR windows?

I don't think it's unreasonable, when your CEO brags about having regularly-updated lists of replacement players, to expect that the players on said lists are generally realistic and available targets.

We don't need to know in advance though. We just need the club to get it over the line.
