I watched Burton v Peterborough last week. Boro did the the lager men 5-2 and their big target man Clarke-Harris got a brace, very impressed with him. Incidentally his team mate Mason-Clark on the left wing was doing his best to beat Burton by himself, might be an injury free version of Tymon?

You look at the teams at the top of the championship and they ALL have a target man,an Ashley Barnes, an oli McBurnie,an adebayo , a brereton Diaz ,an Akpom etc.
So there is no point kidding ourselves. That is the sort of player we need .
It's not coincidence, every single team at the top of the championship, has a player like that

does not score enough for me mate, how about Micheal Forss, Brentford if we cannot get Brereton Brereton isn't a target man. He plays mainly on the left of a front three. Gallagher is the target man at Blackburn. Brereton would be an excellent (but very unlikely) signing but we would still need another more traditional target man. Keinan Davis with two wide forwards like Campbell and Brereton either side of him would be excellent. Davis isn't prolific but he's very mobile and a real handful for defenders and is a good link man. I think Campbell would score close to 20 next season playing next to someone like Davis.

A good targetman will transform our other attackers, the same way a good defensive midfielder has transformed our other midfielders.

Why should his signing be unlikely in that case?

Why should his signing be unlikely in that case? because Blackburn are reportedly offering him £30k a week for another year to match a lucrative offer from Spain. He's a good player but I don't think we'll be paying those kind of wages.

Hasn't he signed a precontract with a Spanish club? From my understanding he hasn't signed a contract yet but there is an offer on the table so Blackburn have offered him a one year deal on £30k to try and tempt him to stay. Him and his partner have recently had a baby so it might be tempting to stay close to family.

Simples Really We sign him on a Free, as he's out of contract. Then we sell them Brown for £3mill, as they need a regular goalscorer.⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️ Then we pay him the £3mill for a couple of years and Hey Presto! We're back in the Prem 👍 Simples😃

I must say I’ve been impressed with Carlton Morris at Luton. Think Gyokeres is the best striker in the league but premier league sides are apparently sniffing. Gyokeres was lucky not to be sent off today, only getting a yellow. Gallagher from Blackburn? Going by their message board he's one to avoid.They seem to hate him.

Jonson Clarke Harris is a good shout…22 goals in 37 games this season and 31 in 45 last season…lots of goals and lots of games played so he appears to be reliable.

He's out of contract in the summer I think, but age will probably be a thing, he's 28 this year so not much sell on value after a contract.

He just looked a cart horse at this level for me. 29 in the summer and would cost a bit with little to no resale value. Exactly the sort of signing we should be avoiding.

This is the danger with the clamour for a target man Has to be one who scores enough as well as providing a focal point for the attack ideally has some pace too Could be almost impossible step forward Sydney Van Hoijdonk

Agree that we need one who's mobile and can press from the front, given how Neil is looking to play. Get it wrong and he could end up being a hindrance. Huge call.

I think for me there are other, more important positions to spend our budget. Winger x2, Smallbone/replacement, Tuanzebe/replacement, another cb, goalkeeper, fullbacks, Pearson/replacement all more important.
I'd be happy with Brown as a starting striker unless we unearth a cheap gem or get an incredible loanee in.

Having Gayle for another season is a massive hindrance really and his only role will be off the bench I'm guessing. Any new striker coming in will need to fit seamlessly into how Neil wants us playing so yes, it's a massive call. Tezgel will still be young and I wouldn't expect him to feature much other than in Cup games and off the bench. A winger of some sort (not sure Celina is that) would be useful too but one that chips in with goals. For all of those dissing Powell, his goal potential is not to be sneezed at, but not playing doesn't help! Brown can offer something from the wing but I'd rather Campbell play wide with a target man and have a winger/wide forward as an option that isn't necessarily Brown who would be on the bench alongside Gayle most of the time.
