Nzola from Spezia has looked big and strong with goals in him for a lower Serie A team, 1 in 2 this season, only a year left on his contract. Sort of player we need to find or steal off someone.

If Everton stay up and Dyche gets a warchest to revamp I’d love Ellis Simms. Fits the mobile target man role to a tee, a younger Solanke.

This is not a targetman, but a winger playing for Herakles in Holland. Hanson has been very prolific this season when it comes to goals and assists.

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. I was with you until the last bit.

He's really good in his movement in the box, he's good in the air, he knows how our press works and does it very well. Pretty sure this is the first season where he's been scoring below his xG too, so he's not as awful a finisher as we might think. I wouldn't be desperately spending big bucks to replace him whilst we have such big gaps elsewhere and so little money.

Sorry Rob, but I'm not keeping up, which player are you referring to? A winger in the second tier in Holland who seems to have done very well this season. I've never heard of him before I read about him in a Norwegian newspaper today. He is a Norwegian by nationality it seems.

He’s none of what you say , he should be nowhere near the starting 11 next season

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. Bit of a long winded way of saying Brown and Gayle are shit but we're probably stuck with them.

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 Don't think how many he scores is that important tbh, it's how many the team scores and his role in that. 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. Doesn't have to be a goal machine but another striker who doesn't score enough, K Davies being an example, no ta Hard isn't it? Dozen goals and all the other stuff should be achievable

Maybe someone to think about if we get promoted next season. A man who’s scored 12 goals in Serie A isn’t going to play his football next season in the Championship.

When Gayle was decent, what formation was he generally playing in?

I did say the sort of player we need to find. Not saying he'd come but it all depends on how much they earn and if they can see it as more of a window to the PL clubs when being over here

Not saying he'd come but it all depends on how much they earn and if they can see it as more of a window to the PL clubs when being over here I don’t get why it would be more of a window. The standard of Serie A is far better than the Championship, so he doesn’t have to think about needing to do it in a better league. More players likely do move from the Championship to the Premier League. I’d also put a good chunk of that reason down to cost of the player, work permit and to desire to want to move to England as well.

Nzola's current value is 6.5m Euros so I think he is outside our budget

Two of my striker shout outs were in the Scottish Premier Leagues Team of the week this week Joel Nouble - Livingston 27 & Duk - Aberdeen 23 both priced around £500,000 just saying - might be worth a punt Going off Joel Nouble's wikipedia, he looks a great player to spearhead a National League promotion push. And 2 in 26 at Livingston seems a bit, well, crap. Duk's a name that's come up before. A much better record tbf to him. I'd stay well away from the SPL if we're looking for a striker though....

I was just wondering because I was finding it hard to imagine him being any good without another striker next to him.

Defenders and midfielders from the SPL do seem to fare a lot better in England, but when high-scoring strikers move south they just turn to ratshit for some reason.
