I’d go for that Josh Maja who was at Sunderland and now Bordeaux, although he did come across a bit mercenary in the documentary More of a winger than a striker isn't he ? Very good player though no definitely plays through the middle, wears number 9 too |

Personally I would take Shane Long til the end of the season, he's an upgrade on what we have (bar Fletch).
More mobile than Vokes, plenty of big game experience. Maybe he's not a goal machine at Prem level but if he could grab half a dozen goals before the end of the season he'd be worth it.

For a short lad he leaps like a salmon, reminds me of Tim Cahill |

I wonder if there is anybody worth some interest at Celtic. Instead of just waiting for them to try signing a player and then move in ourselves to take him away from them, we could modify the system and approach them direct for a transfer. Surely they must have someone there who might want to better himself in the Championship. Rats leaving the sinking ship and all that.

Can't we just sign Ricardo Fuller?

Long is a big improvement on Fletcher...faster,more mobile and can actually score! |

His goals have dried up for Saints, allbeit at a higher level, for quite some time Didn't he go a year without scoring? |

I reckon he'd score in this league now we are getting some decent wingers, but he is very good running through defences which Fletcher doesn't do, as he's not as quick. |

Maybe Fletcher is a quality player at this level, linked up great with Campbell, obviously injured lots. We need a goalscorer, prefer to chance on a Maja or a Delap or some of the other names mentioned than Long, think he's not the answer for goals. Only one way to find out of course. |

Wonder how much they would accept for him now. They accepted around £2 million for him in the summer, but since then he's had a significant injury. He'll also be down to the last year of his deal come the summer. Wonder if we could nab for £1 million? |

Really hope it's not Cosgrove.
Not ripped up trees in a poor league.
Always wants too much time in the box which he wouldn't get in the Championship never mind the Prem

Can players still be loaned out if they agreed a move at end of there contract ?
If so should be all over Folarin Balogun
Probably the closest like for like we could get for Campbell ,Josh Maja a good shout as well,get a decent striker an we could have a very good season

I’m just hoping that some how, some way, God allowing, some miracle....these new signing increase opportunity for Vokes and he morphs into a 20 goal per season striker. Surely even he may get a bounce from some pace around him?

We can't go out and spend £5m on a striker. More likely it would be someone coming in on loan. We'll have to see... options are very limited."We also have to be mindful of players we have in the building. We have to think that players on the periphery could move on."

If MON can turn him into a Championship goalscorer I'm off down the training ground with some loaves and fishes. |

I think a loan till the end of the season would be good. The ball won’t bounce off him like it does with Brown, he’ll win headers and make clever runs unlike Vokes. |
