Going into the season with just Emmerson and Akpom seems a big risk. No problem with George going, feels like it's an area we need to upgrade. |  | | |  |

I wonder if GON see's these guys as a rotation option with Emersonn..... |  | |  |

I think Enciso certainly can and will at times. Played in the 9 for Paraguay at the world cup and a similar profile to Cunha who GON utilised there at Wolves. I think he'll play more in the 10 in favour of a more physical 9, but certainly gives us an option. Still clearly looking to recruit, maybe that'll be Embolo, but I do think the Enciso arrival has probably given us enough confidence to sanction the Hirst move. |  | |  |

Cunha is big, fast and strong though. That's not Enciso. |  | |  |

He's played 9 for Strasbourg under O'Neil too. |  |

However, I don't think it's the end of the world if we don't get a striker in the door now as Maeda and Enciso both have plenty of experience playing in the 9. |  |

I think Stuart Watson's remark on his watering down of the Palacios/Embolo rumours is telling. He said that he understood thatvthe club were looking at other options. Tells me the club are certainly looking for players of their profiles, yet they're either not Palacio or Embolo, or the club doesn't want it public that it's them. Quite sure there's a cf incoming. |  | |  |

It only feels risky to some, as we don't know what's going on behind the scenes. |  |

Enciso is fast to be fair, he's rapid on the counter. |  | |  |
