Yep McBurnie is free A Blades mate of mine has suggested hes Stoke bound (dont know his source) but Id be surprised Woukd imagine he’ll be after top dollar Might be able to structure it with a big signing on fee to get him to fit into our wage structure. We're going to have to lay some serious money on a striker. He's by no means perfect but at least he's course and distance proven. Not sure I'd be delighted but I wouldn't be too disappointed either. Agree. Was hoping we could pick up a nice mobile striker gem in the mould of Junho or Million but it doesn’t seem like we have one of these lined up. If we are stuck in the domestic market for whatever reason we can probably do worse than McBurnie on a free. Big wages but like you say, can offset it against the no fee. Otherwise everyone is bidding against each other for the same few scraps. I suppose the problem with strikers is the prices are massively inflated for anyone remotely decent. Tezgel really breaking through in the next couple of seasons is probably our big hope.

He has been a major contributor for Bologna qualifying for the champions league for the first time in their history. Many top clubs were after him, including Milan, inter and obviously man utd. It's a bit odd to go full in on an opinion based on never seeing him play but just because who koeman used in a handful of games? So you don’t think it would be odd if he was mustard but Kieran overlooked him in favour of the two in question. I don’t particularly like Koeman but I don’t think he’s clinically insane either. Surely it depends on how much koeman rates the other 2? Clearly weghorst was the target man substitute. Depay isn't exactly bad is he? Either way, he's just turned 23, had a great season at Bologna and got a big move. Just a bit weird the base an opinion just on the selection policy of 1 man for half a dozen games.

We should be all over this Wonder how much he’s going to cost them? Isn’t Bristol’s striker Conway stalling on a contract offer? Perhaps they’ve got a sale lined up for him and getting in their replacement first. Whatever happens I just hope we aren’t putting all of our eggs in one basket waiting for someone like Cannon. We’ve been guilty of this in the past for sure.

We should be all over this Shocking goal return but an absolute nightmare to play against and caused defenders havoc last season. Only going get better as well. Very very raw.

I’m actually in a minority I know very concerned if Laurent leaves , our really poor spell under Schumacher coincided with him being out injured post Birmingham away . A short explanation of what you feel he brings to the team? He can run with the ball when your under the cosh . He gets about the pitch hence the goal line clearance at sheff Wednesday which saved us That day He can score the odd goal/ winner ie Hull He adds height and strength at set pieces He adds som physicality to the middle of the pitch

That seems like their problem rather than ours. He’s a useful member of the squad, can easily perform at this level, so if they want him they should pay the wages and appropriate transfer fee. It's not like Johnson who is very unlikely to play so we may be open to doing something with wages. Transfer fees are looser in L1 than Championship, there is no cap just on wages as a % of turnover which is sbout 75% I think for newly relegated teams.

Weren’t some of us a little jealous of BC’s early transfer activity last summer. Turned out it was nothing to speak of

He can't his agent..he spends 24/7 on this board 🤣 he doesn't have time do anything else. That being said..Conway is Rangers bound it seems.

Perhaps any fee for Lauren would help facilitate paying off Johnson’s contract. Otherwise we’re paying him out to get rid not good of FFP

Transfer fees are looser in L1 than Championship, there is no cap just on wages as a % of turnover which is sbout 75% I think for newly relegated teams. Sure. So we can be creative, increase the transfer fee, which we can give Laurent some of to compensate for reduced wages. Personally think the L1 and L2 PSR rules are better than the championships.

Everybody has favourites I appreciate that but he’s 29 , why we offer him a contract is the question with no return at the end?

My personal view is given the budget constraints we will really struggle to get better we have a few to shift before him

Provided a suitable replacement is purchased I have no problem with Josh leaving, I would be abit more concerned if josh and Lewis both leave! I really think Lewis is in for a good season with us this year and he's been featured quite alot along with junho and million on the training videos the club have posted so would be surprised if the club wanted rid. It looks like we need a minimum of 4 further players currently to be competitive this season and that number rises the more people leave

To be fair Conway looks like one of the better strikers available at a reasonable price. For the money and potential you would have to be happy.
But if Rangers are in for him I don’t think we could compete. Not judging by Dijon Sterling choosing them over us anyway.
But if we are going to get a decent striker we are going to have to spend some proper money, that’s for sure. With Wesley, Gayle and Campbell all gone we should have plenty potentially available for wages though for the right player.
