Quick, eye for goal... I'd have him in a heartbeat personally. Did sort of forget he existed for a bit, which probably isn't a good sign! He seems to only score in the first half of the season and then drys up

Is assombolonga much of a difference from an Afobe? We would do a recall before bringing in a similar on loan no? Can’t see why Boro would ever loan him out to someone in the same league though.

He's not even linked to us in the article though.

We couldn't afford him.
And why would Colin loan him?

Maia is the most exciting name for me and I reckon we can get him on loan. Potential for a fee I. The summer too.
He looked decent in the documentary, even if it was league 1.

I don't know much about this player, but his stats doesn't fill me with confidence. Seems to have had one really good season so far when it comes to scoring goals. He has got pace though which we certainly need up top.

He has got pace though which we certainly need up top. I can’t say I’ve seen rafts of him and had all but forgotten about him since he moved to Bordeaux. He fits the profile of the players we seem to want. British/English speaking, young, athletic, pacy with potential to develop. From what I remember he was a decent finisher, could take penalties, quite tall (6”0+?) pacy. Obviously as I said that was all league one and no guarantee, but he’s the name linked I like the most who seems gettable.

Assombalonga is available for transfer as his contract is up in Summer. 30 goals in 65 games when at Forest. Quick too and just what we need!

Around 3" shorter than Vokes.

Gregory injured and Vokes hasn’t really done anything that would tickle Boro’s fancy into a swap. Now we got Clarke in I’d be happy chuck Ince at them to see if he sticks in a part-ex deal. Think B.Ass has played as a RW a few times in the past.

Could we pick him up for a couple of million if he's out of contract in the summer?.

I would prefer him way more than Robson Kanu, if there is in fact any truth in that rumour.

We have a weak link/ rumour that we could buy assombolonga from Middlesborough. We have a decent chance due to his contract expiring this summer.

5 Strikers Stoke Could sign to aid promotion push. Would anyone take any of these 5 Strikers?

The sooner we get one in the better. We have 3 games until the window ends, can we really afford to wait until then and possibly still be more points behind the eight ball?.

What about Leigh Griffiths from Celtic, Lennon is an old NI boy sure he would lend us him. Celtic have nothing to play for now so I am sure they would like to lighten their payroll. Looks like type of player who could score for fun in the championship.

Are we looking for a target-man type? MON seems the kind of manager who'll always default to a good big 'un
They seem very thin on the ground in terms of people who are being touted in the lower leagues.
Jephcott seems to be getting a lot of buzz but doesn't really seem that type.
Shankland's goal record at even the SPL level is poor (4 in 19 this season at what is maybe League 1 level as a whole?) And only really loads of goals in the Scottish Championship. Don't know what level that is, but is it maybe lower than the Conference?
Even Robson-Kanu got on the pitch yesterday for WBA.
Very hard to pick out someone that we could afford. Woodrow's a good player, but he'd probably cost several million.
Maybe we're stilll waiting for Villa to get someone so we can at least be in the mix for Keinan Davis.

Genuinely sounds like we are waiting for other clubs to buy players to then make the ones we want available Can potentially see it being a deadline day deal
