Not made any impression on the Prem since his move, but there must be a quality player in there somewhere having come through the Barcelona academy where he was highly rated (although selling him for just £5m with a seemingly loose clause in his contract). Just not sure he's what we need, with Emersonn a similar sort of young prospect surely we'd be looking for someone with experience. |  | | |  |
| Guiu on 11:55 - Jul 15 with 1511 views | PhilTWTD | I agree with Alex's view, not what Town will be looking at having signed an inexperienced 21-year-old. Callum Wilson was a target and we'll be looking for someone more in that mould experience-wise. It's just idle speculation based on the interest last year. |  | |  |
| Guiu on 11:57 - Jul 15 with 1476 views | Swansea_Blue | I briefly get excited when I see his name and think people are misspelling Guehi. One can dream. I’m not so excited by this one. I agree we should be looking for more experience, but maybe as another prospect option IF we get a main senior striker then great. Which would mean Hirst’s time would be limited. We do like going down the young player route though for future trading profit. I personally think that has to be limited, as you need the experienced good player to stay up which in itself inflates player values and is worth a lot more in £££. |  |

I can't think of too many forwards that are both proven in the premier league and likely to join us. Jimenez and Wilson were 2 I thought we might sniff around. Osula, while not particularly proven, has probably elevated himself beyond us now. Awoniyi or Wood if Forest strengthen? Guess Glasner will take a view on them. Nketiah would be great, not sure how realistic that would be but he was on the bench a lot for Palace last season IIRC. Piroe from Leeds? Feels like relatively slim pickings. |  | |  |

I would be surprised if Awoniyi and Wood aren't on our radar. Marinakis is constantly looking to upgrade his squad. |  | |  |

Altho Wiod is old and expensive, if we could get 25 games out of him could be a very shrewd deal. |  |

Absolutely. He's always a handful and occupies defenders well. Would be a nice foil for Emersonn too, who's seemingly more about pace and running power. |  | |  |

Awoniyi, Wood, Enes Unal or Flemming... about as good as it gets I think. |  | |  |
| Guiu on 12:59 - Jul 15 with 559 views | mellowblue | Decent player, upgrade on Azon and Hirst. Would work well in the lone striker role, though II am not sure how valid that is under a new manager. I was disappointed we did not get him last year. I think we would be more attractive to him now, being 1, Premier League and 2 his career is stalling from lack of game time, he would be assured of higher levels at Town. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I really like the idea of Wood - he would be a great signing, wily player and knows where the net is. I think Flemming would be a good option too. Still only 27, scored some decent goals last season and can play a couple of roles. |  | |  |

Knows O'Shea well too. Dara lived with Wood's parents when he first moved over from Ireland as a 16 year old. It could be shrewd. Vastly experienced in the premier league, big physical presence and a handful for defenders. Has scored plenty of goals at the level too. Could be the Strand-Larsen in O'Neil's system, with a couple of more creative attacking players off him. Lets hope Emersonn is our Cunha (but less of a knob). |  | |  |

There’s also no need to have him play more than 5-20 mins a game and act as a finisher most weeks - essentially how we used Moore etc. I’d love us to sign him or someone similar. One curveball we could look at is Keenan Davis who seems to have fallen through the floor at Udinese. Can do it in the prem is an absolute unit too. |  |
