Well we deffo need two strikers through the door. Ennis and Mmaee are all below grade needed. Armstrong and a main goal scorer would be decent pool. Mmaee may go anyway. He just seems the absolute opposite to the high energy quick philosophy SS preaches. Any money back offers and I would think we would snap it up. Armstrong would be pricey that’s not where you want to spend your budget. Your budget needs to go on that main goal scorer. If you need an Armstrong type take the Jebbison fella on a free but for third choice forward I think Ennis is sufficient. I hope we buy a CF that scores a few and a loan that can play across the frontline. That relegates Mmaee and Ennis to third and forth choices. Much as I’m not keen on either we won’t be getting anything better to fill those spots. Goal scorers are very expensive and loans can be quite punitive if you don’t give them lots of minutes. Armstrong is out of contract. QPR activated one year extension to get a fee if he leaves so wouldn’t be greats bucks you would imagine.

In fact they’re not free to anyone, if they go to a foreign club the compensation is fixed (even Scotland) if they go to an English club compensation is set via a panel same process that gave us a fee of upto £1.75M for Campbell before he’d even played a senior game.

Really impressed by Armstrong when QPR played us - absolutely bullied our defence and couldn't believe he was only 19, built like an ox. I'm not sure he's an out and out goalscorer - more like a player who creates chaos and chances for others but in the right setup could be very handy. Providing that game against us wasn't a one off I'd be happy with this.

Sékou Koïta Also available, 1 in 2 in the AUSTRIAN Bundesliga Still an impressive record though. But he's foreign..remember now Jared is gone we're only signing British plodders 😉

If we could sign him and still drop £5/10M on a goal scorer by all means go get him.

Bowler would be a good signing. A few clubs are in for him.

Dear Steve and 'Mr. Walters',
Please can you sign us a lovely prolific striker (not one that 'may' still be able to 'do a job' ), ideally this week, because i'm an impatient git.
Lot's of love
Me x
p.s loved the first day of training video on Youtube, keep it up!

Good move for him and certainly around his level. Good luck, enjoyed watching him but it was always apparent his ability was never going see him be a regular starter here despite his natural athletic ability.

Good luck, enjoyed watching him but it was always apparent his ability was never going see him be a regular starter here despite his natural athletic ability. A bit surprised but he obviously sees regular first team football as his priority which is refreshing, good luck and hope he thrives there.

Do you watch football with your eyes he thinks he's the fountain of knowledge when it's plain to see he googles the players then spouts off some ill informed crap about them

With the two young centre halves leaving, we definitely need another one.

Do you watch football with your eyes closed? Goal involvement every 6.33 games last season not massively better output any other. You want to perm him as an attacking player with Junho goal involvement every 5 games/ Manhoef goal involvement every 3 games. I don't want to be unrealistic but if we're going to drop a wedge on a player they need to be someone we can expect to hit double figures goals wise minimum. Bowler is on Premier league money only way he's coming here is on loan with his wages subsidised by Forest.

I think it's increasingly evident we probably need 2 new strikers, Ennis unless there's a massive upturn in his performances, isn't the answer and will make Kyle Lightbourne look prolific, so even assuming M'waee stays , we need 2.

Think that's fair I'd expect 1 perm and 1 loan. I doubt we've got the budget for 2 forwards with any sort of track record. Think Ennis is fine for what he's likely to be used for.

Past performance is the best barometer to future outcomes. We need output desperately if we're not to repeat last season of having very little history of decent output and hoping something changes especially if we're spending good money. We could follow last seasons recruitment of buying cheap and hoping for the best that's fine by me. Spending big and still just hoping a player smashes his previous expected output just seems a bit dumb.

Tommy Conway is in a similar position at Bristol City it would still take £5/6M to get him out of there. Neither are free to English clubs even at the end of their contract due to their age(both still under 24 even when their deals expire). In fact they’re not free to anyone, if they go to a foreign club the compensation is fixed (even Scotland) if they go to an English club compensation is set via a panel same process that gave us a fee of upto £1.75M for Campbell before he’d even played a senior game. Original fee for Campbell was £750k One of the add one was re international caps Be interesting to see how much we paid in the end

People turn their nose up at him because he’s not prolific but how often do you get a 21 year old who’s achieved that?

A lot of heads on the line here, meant to have had 2 in by the end of last week, now someone said the end of this week but there’s no evidence of any movement…
