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 Yes I know that but transfer targets must have been discussed with people still at the club or did all the recruitment team get the bullet.

Almost ever present for Portsmouth last season as an attacking midfielder, apparently, although he also seems to have appeared as a forward, winger and defensive midfielder. Eight goals and ten assists, albeit in the Third Division. He's managed 17 minutes for Norwich this season.

We were linked with him in Jan weren't we? Yeah, although it was under the old regime (and interesting that Jared is supposedly in for him now too)

We seemingly changed transfer strategy as well. Presumably you don't sack the head of recruitment because you like the way he works and as such I'd guess we'd have began our planning quite a bit behind other clubs.

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. It’s an incredibly lightweight front 3 lacking in physicality. Not saying it won’t work in some games but I’d want some meatier options. Guess Gallagher might tick that box (if he’s ever fit enough to place).

They must have still been planning and having meetings of the technical board with JD making presentations and recommendations to them. So they’ve got the input of both old and new but strangely enough most of the signings seem Walters led and there hasn’t been a great deal of reaction to them from the HC.

www.transfermarkt.co.uk/abu-kamara/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/696764Kamara has got a good goal record playing down the middle at PL2 level - and interesting he was described as a striker when Homzy linked us to him in January. He certainly fits the bill as potentially the "fast striker" the Sentinel have said we wanted - and is in-budget, you'd think...

Guess Gallagher might tick that box (if he’s ever fit enough to place). Yeah no doubt he would give us another option/dimension shame he doesn’t come with a better strike rate. I’d have much preferred BTA personally. I think he’s got the drop on Gallagher in every attribute bar height.

Interesting that Jebbison hasn’t signed for Watford yet. That was planned by the looks of it... www.nytimes.com/athletic/live-blogs/transfer-news-latest-live-updates/aVykqJplm4AQ/The 21-year-old is likely to remain with Bournemouth until next week before joining up with the Championship club. Bournemouth play Newcastle United in the Premier League on Sunday before a Carabao Cup fixture against West Ham United next Wednesday.

[br Some signing that is for them. It's already heating up the transfer window for the last week for it all to be done last minute as normal.

www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/hull-city-lodge-transfer-bid-9510888Hull City have made a big move in the final days of the transfer window after lodging a bid for Norwich City's England Under-20 winger Abu Kamara. Hull Live understands City have made a firm bid with the Canaries, who value London-born Kamara in the region of £2m and are begrudgingly prepared to sanction the sale of the 21-year-old. Sources have indicated that Kamara would be keen on the move to the MKM Stadium

... And probably injured for half the season, off and on!!! It's ridiculous. I mean, can we not just go and get a player who is 22-26, approaching his prime that can come in and do a decent job? If I went down to the canal tonight and dipped the old todger into the water I reckon I'd have a better chance of getting it bit by a shark than us signing a goalscorer... 🤣 Brilliant.... 😁 Surely there's got to be at least a half decent goalscorer in league one ready to make the step up??? Even if we DID manage to get Cannon, who's to say he won't turn out another Delap???

Both bags of potentional but young
