The more I think about it, the more I think Junho new contract will be announced after the window as a good news story instead of signing the striker we actually need.

We've known we've needed a striker for nearly 12 months (yes I know , I'm not counting seasons before last season). What the hell has our recruitment team been doing ? They got sacked ... in May/June. Another marvellous decision

Devil’s advocate here but do we actually need to spend millions on a new striker? Koumas up front and Bae and Million on the wings is a very decent front three.

Should go for Azaz/ Cundle if we can’t get Stansfield or Cannon in my opinion

I've got a funny feeling Bamford is going to end up here Please god no. Get what you’re saying, never been a fan but his goals record is impressive. Getting more injury prone so would fit our model of recruitment. If he’s available I’d certainly chance it

One thing is for sure WE HAVE to sign someone because another injury to Gallagher leaves us with young Tezgel and we cannot go to January in that situation. I have a feeling it’ll be either Hardie,Osmajic(Preston),Rajovic(Watford) or Ward(Huddersfield) this type of forward🤔 Would take Hardie and Rajovic tbf, Osmajic at a push but apparently he’s a bad egg. Ward? No thanks!! OMG what is Osmajic some sort of child rapist or serial killer. Why do managers in the real world have to manage all manner of different personalities but football managers can only seem to cope with people who fit into a neatly arranged drawer of personalities of their choosing? Some people are more difficult to manage than others, some people won’t fit neatly into a team but can perform a function in it.

If he’s available I’d certainly chance it not in recent seasons it isn’t 8 in his last championship season and not a regular starter . Some wanted to keep Campbell and his 3 goals

As i posted last week I really don’t know at this stage which striker we can sign🤷♂️ Just know it's going to be a Ross Stewart type figure. Once had potential, blighted by injuries & massively fallen down the pecking order at their current club & in need of a dust off and hope for the best at a new club type of signing

Mate I’d take him in a heartbeat if he’s proved his fitness but I reckon Martin may keep him there

Although I read the other day Sunderland were monitoring him and ready to make a swoop if becomes available. That Josh Maja seems to be doing ok these days 😉🤣

I think I'd honestly say that I'd prefer Koumas up front this season that Delap. Unless Delap has improved significantly from when he played for us, which I didn't see much evidence of from his time with Hull last season. Koumas is what I hoped Delap would be when we signed him. Obviously good touch and quality on the ball, natural good movement and instinct etc. The kinds of things you expect from a well regarded player from the academy of a top Premier League team. For me, I didn't see those raw materials in Delap. It looked to me to be a case of a player who had developed early physically and had been able to use his height and strength to bully the other kids in junior football which had inflated his goalscoring record to a level beyond his actual real natural ability. And when exposed to senior football where his physical advantages could be countered by fully grown adult defenders it exposed his lack of technique a bit. I hope I'm wrong because he's Rory's son and a Stoke fan and I want him to have a great career. It's just my opinion based on what I've seen. I think you’re right that he was a physical forward who found the step up into the men’s game a wake up call. I’m not sure how he’ll develop he could just as easily turn into a beast of a forward in the men’s game. I’ll have to disagree on Koumas I think he looks a talent but I don’t see him playing many games as a CF. I know many disagree but I don’t think he has the physical presence for a CF in this league at his early stage of development. His movement was what impressed me. Constantly making the right runs, finding space and getting away from the defenders. When you have that kind of intelligence you don't need to be a physical unit to score goals. It's only one game, it could be a one off. And I suspect things will get harder for him if he starts being identified as a threat and gets targeted. But I saw enough intelligence and technical quality from him to think that he could be a very dangerous player for us this season.
