Pretty sure Woodrow was one of our first choice targets, and we missed out on him... |  | |  |

Woodrow was definitely on the list as others have said - but not sure he was top of it. I don't think Hirst is either, and we'd be unlikely to lose out to Pompey if he was. |  | |  |

Has anyone ITK confirmed this? Woodrow is a decent player but his style, from when I have seen him, doesn't scream McKenna's established system. What am I missing about his game that makes him the sort of fit we'd look at? |  | |  |

Pretty sure Joe was all over this yesterday on the actual Woodrow thread... |  | |  |

He was definitely on the list but I don't think we made a move for him in the end. I think if we firm up our interest in Hirst then we'd have the financial wherewithal to fight off Portsmouth without a doubt. |  | |  |

Am I wrong in thinking that Hirst is THE summer striking target? Just can't see how he is the talismanic striker we are pinning our promotion hopes on. |  |

We missed out on Sonny Bradley at the start of last season who was the primary target. It could be argued that had that transfer gone through, Cook would likely have had a better start and we may have had a better season. |  | |  |
Looks like we may miss out on Hirst on 11:52 - Jun 22 with 2280 views | dirtyboy | Not overly worried. I think we'll get a random signing in that none of us expected, much like Leigh and Ball. |  | |  |

Ladapo is obviously a bit higher profile in terms of his experience and record at this level but Hirst has a significant pedigree and is of the type they want to sign; youngish with the prospect that they can grow and be sold for bigger sums in the future. He was similarly one on the list but I think I'd see him as more in line with what they're looking for than Woodrow. |  | |  |

Thanks Phil, obviously they will try and spend some time getting more and more players in the box and getting goals from all facets of the pitch, that was our downfall last season once Bonne lost his mojo, there just wasn't the slack behind to cover him. Hopefully going forward we won't be so reliant on one or two to get our goals. |  |

Goals definitely need to come from more sources and agree that we didn't get enough players in the box. A few set piece goals here and there wouldn't go amiss! |  | |  |

I've no doubt we shall get exactly who we want once get them around the table. Relax everyone |  |

Financially maybe, but sometimes, as much as we'd like to think it is, it's not all about money |  | |  |

It's not, but if Pompey can't agree a fee with Leicester, or we can gazump them then he won't have the two options to choose between |  |
