It’s the same principle though? Sure it is if you sign one in his prime, who's played regularly for their club and is considered to be one of their better players. Most of them on the other hand.

Well there’s good players running their contract down because there’s interest then there’s players begging for a contract because they got nowhere to turn. Not really the same There’s plenty of good players in that list of strikers though? Brerton Ogbene McBurnie wouldn't touch any of the others.

Think ‘most’ is an exaggeration. Think there’s plenty there who offer something. Wouldn’t want the likes of Pukki, Hoilett or Hernandez. Or Barnes, Sharp or Meite for that matter.

I think Messi's contract is up, may as well get him, mind you I don't think he's as good as holding the ball up as Dykes so perhaps not

Joao always seems to have a great game against us and our defence can’t handle him at all Came on as a sub in our home game against them looked fat and unfit did nothing. That's what you'd be signing not some memory from seasons gone by, that's how you end up signing Dwight fucking Gayle. Well our defence couldn’t handle him in the reverse fixture this season against us in the 2-1 loss

I was thinking Barnes would still do us a job in the match when he played at the Bet365 for Burnley, very industrious & not afraid to get stuck in. But then the thought of being a Vokes Mk2 from Burnley is kind of stopping me from actually saying we should make a move! 🤔🫣 The Vokes deal has left us feeling a tad nervy on any future dealings with Burnley!!! 😄..... Think Barnes would be a decent shout in the championship though!!! 6 goals in 33 appearances this season, turns 34 in October too, not for me

BBD, McBurnie and Joao are the ones that jump out from that list. All proven in the Championship and under 30. I mean, I'd hope the club would do a bit more research than just looking at a list and going 'Oh yeah, I remember him looking decent against us a couple of years ago', but it seems that's how we've been scouting for the last few years.

I actually think Pukki would be a great fit, especially away from home the way we play. Very clever movement and link up play..

If a target man is integral to our preferred style of play we'll definitely need back up. I'd prefer the back up to be a player who can progress and challenge the first choice rather than a player at the arse end of their career after one last pay day.

I'd take Ashley Barnes for a season, maybe two.... A decent robust forward, not afraid to put himself about!!! I was thinking Barnes would still do us a job in the match when he played at the Bet365 for Burnley, very industrious & not afraid to get stuck in. But then the thought of being a Vokes Mk2 from Burnley is kind of stopping me from actually saying we should make a move! 🤔🫣 If he's anything like Vokes,I'm off to Vale Park!

Only see McBurnie fitting in with the mobile target man / pressing forward that Neil obviously wants. I'd be more than happy with him as he seems to score regularly in the championship when given a run of games.
Joao too lazy, BBD going to Villarreal, the rest either too old or don't fit the style.

Couldn’t tell you either way. Started to come into the squad, then left. Neil didn’t seem to want to use him when we desperately needed something different. Tezgel could be the other but I suppose that depends on whether Neil would be willing to risk him as solo cover. I’d try and loan at least one out to league 2 first. Hopefully, they can get a decent number of minutes. To that end, an older second target man on a 12-24 month deal makes sense as well. I feel like we’ll need to bring in three forwards (two target men and a wide player to cover both wings (likely loan)) to add to Campbell, Gayle, Brown and DWP if we want to have a shot of challenging next year.

He got injured, as did Tezgel As such neither have been used whilst injured Imho it's highly probable both would have had more sub appearances and both would now be getting starts as we see out the fixtures no idea who the goalscoring target an we need/can get is but rather we pushed for one quality player (gambling he stays fit) than sign two OK ones especially given Tezgel coming through

I don’t think that a senior, second choice target man should cost enough to offset our first choices. If they do, that would be a problem, I agree. I personally just don’t want to rest next season on the hope that two kids can be the primary support for our first choice. Surely, at least one has to go out to get regular games? I don’t personally believe that Lowe would have got more minutes. He wasn’t getting them when we were awful and only had Gayle in the center (centre 😉). Is this the second relatively long-term injury that Tezgel has picked up? Didn’t he have one last year as well?

I’d look at Koroma and Ogbene although they are more wingers (which we need) than they are forwards joao is possibly a realistic option feel we could attract mcburnie as well.

He would be cracking as for the key central striker don't want any on this list (other than Brereton who is going to Villareal) we should hold out for a hero He's gotta be big, he's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fresh from the fight And Score goals

Not out of contract but getting a bit of attention from English smaller clubs is a goal scorer named DUK from Aberdeen. Has a proven record for scoring. Young player only 22/23 Wants to play in England also. With AN being Scottish i am hoping that he has a few contacts at the Dons and has his eye on players that can do a job for us next season. When all the loanees return we ate going to struggle with the contract players at Stoke..
