Out of Mmae Vidigal Ennis Tezegal Lowe Gallagher Ennis is the one I woukd keep. I would loan Gallagher or Mmae and free up a space before letting the one guy who can press go. You would loan the player we’ve just bought for 1.5million? We paid 3m for Tommy Smith and let him go for free. |

The reality is we could let Ennis go on loan to Barnsley and pick up any striker from league 1 who would probably be better. Just get rid now before we have a replacement.

Just get rid now before we have a replacement. tbf that's a load of rubbish. Ennis was considered to be a pretty decent league one striker, hence he was picked up by a championship club when he ran his contract down. Truth is if certain posters are to be taken seriously we could sign for good money a striker who our HC didn't seem to be completely certain was better than Ennis when he had them together in league one (Hardie). |

He’s no where near the grade though is he. Loan him out and take a chance on anyone really and they won’t be worse. SS needs to leave his old Plymouth league 1 players in the past. I let him go and replace with a foreign striker who might be amazing but even if a dud won’t be worse than Ennis. |

I gave you my reasoning why I think that's absolute horse shit. Doesn't make me a fan of Ennis, just that I understand that yes they could be way worse. |

I think Schumacher can see more in Ennis .
He is still relatively young, hs had his career interrupted by injuries and transfers and not really had a chance to settle into a team. His confidence must be low.
I think there is still reason to be patient. As has been pointed out he does have the ability like Diouf to get into scoring positions, but then messes up. If he struck lucky a couple of times he could get more confident and start scoring.
I doubt he will be prolific, but then when did we last have a prolific scorer? Walters was our second highest scorer season after season but never prolific and was a lot older when he came.

With the time remaining on his contract a loan for a player for the rest of the season will do. Ennis doesn't score goals, he doesn't have any assists, but he works hard. Honestly, I could find players within our prize range who could do better than that! |

I don't think it takes a great deal of experience or ability to come up with strikers who'd be better than we have. Identifying ones that would be interested in playing for you and are attainable within your budget is kind of what they get their big bucks for. |

The fact that we are discussing allowing Ennis to leave means that we are fairly confident of getting at least one better striker |

Ennis won’t be going anywhere.
We need two strikers in a week for this to happen- remember Lowe has gone also

We need two strikers in a week for this to happen- remember Lowe has gone also If we get the new striker we want that would leave: that guy Mmaee Gallagher Tezgel Koumas That's 5 all fighting for one spot with new guy being a shoe in for majority of games Appreciate Koumas would play wide too Ennis could definitely go if we get the one new striker in If Mmaee goes as well then we'd need another striker Unless we switched to 2 up top which seems highly unlikely |

It’s got to be preferable for Ennis to sit on the bench for the vast majority of the season than Tezgel. Koumas is a bit of a head scratcher his natural position is where we play Junho. Can’t see him getting starts as a CF. |

Not sure its a good idea letting Ennis go until we have another central striker to challenge Mmaee for the role which seems to be the plan. |

I don’t know where this mainly played as a wide striker has come from he has played on the left 20 times and on the right 36 times, In his championship career. Where as he has played 180 times as a CF

I think if Gallagher can stay relatively injury free, big if I know, can be a decent buy for us. £1.5 million these days, doesn't buy you a great deal.

If as you say he can stay fit I'm sure he'll be very useful but he'll do very little to improve our goals scored record. There just aren't any players in the squad with a decent scoring record at any sort of equivalent level. So we either need to sign one or we're reduced to hoping someone makes a massive leap forward in their output stats. |
