Maybe already mentioned, but Josh Parker would be nice to have in our team. Who's he? I remember years ago we had a Josh Parker who's now down in non-league.

I meant the wide man who played for Cardiff last year. He started his career at QPR though...Fwiw; He has played for Blackpool also, but never made it at Nottingham Forest.

You must mean Josh Bowler, Shania?

The midfielder Danilo Al-Saed from Sandefjord Fotball is a player we should take a look at.He is a player with sublime technique and scores some wonderful goals. 1,5 m and I think we will get him.

I can not believe that we're going to start yet another term with no strikers who can perform at this level. What are we supposed to do, suck it into the net?

Another one I'd take a punt on due to our financial constraints is Macauley Langstaff at Notts County - 36 goals in 38 matches and only 26. Millwall signing him for £700k He'll be very good for them I'm sure. How are we not competing with Millwall at that price.

I cannot believe the price and if that is the price I also cannot believe we aren’t in for it. He will score bundles

mental not to go in for him if that's the price. surely even we can scramble 700k together.
he's an out and out goalscorer which is something we're absolutely in dire need of. put him in the prem and he'd score goals imo, he's just that kind of player.

Completely agree. In the vardy and Austin mould when it comes to a goal scorer. Only concern would be why no one’s taken a punt on him he’s been decent for years. Maybe he wouldn’t suit our game but I’d like to think if he did, especially with finances not being as restricted this year, we’d be in for him. The one reassuring thing is I do genuinely think the club are now run well and will have targets who suit us. I’m sure they are more aware than most of the necessaty for a goal scorer

I'm actually gutted seeing him go to them.
Proper signing that.
They're also signing Tanganga from Spurs.
I see us and Millwall as v similar size clubs / gates etc yet we see still seem to be way behind in terms of progression.
We have a much better manager though I will say x

Christ.
It's all very well going after development players but there's a void up top which is seemingly set to last forever.

It also puts paid to this myth that you have to pay a premium for decent strikers! Not really - yes a handful of players get picked up cheap and turn out to be good but all unknown gambles at the start. Eze ?. Proven strikers cost money. If Langstaff is that good why would Notts County let him go for that sort of money with 2 or 3 years left on his contract - should be asking a couple of million at least. Let's see how he does in the Championship before saying he is a decent striker. 2 good seasons at County, one in the National League and one in Division 2 with no prior form. Plus why has no other club gone for him. Big step up from where he has been scoring goals to performing in the Championship. This would be a desperation signing imo - "just sign anyone who has scored goals" is not the solution. Shades of Kelman to me. Yes we need a striker but one with some proven quality at a higher level than national league who will fit Marti's style of play. We do not have the cash to pin our hopes on unlimited gambles. Re McBurnie - Track record around one goal every 3 games at Championship level. Utd paid over 19 million for him , now valued at 4 million by some and let go to cut the wage bill so probably out of our reach on wages and signing on fee. Plus a bit of a replica of what we have but with better stats. No panic yet and Dykes has not even started full training yet so doubt he will be starting our first games. Strange he is still injured after weeks ago announcing he was so close to being fit for Scotland for the Euro's. At least the club stopped him going this time instead of letting Clarke run him into the ground and send him back totally broken.

Agree with Dubois something don’t add up about langstaff. Seems to have great stats, is going cheap in todays market but not many showing an interest. I hope he does well as it’s good see those from bottom of pyramid make it to the top but I’m currently, having never watched him, not convinced he’s going be the week in week out goal scorer in the championship some assume. 27 so not super young but played whole career in basement.
Could just as easily be the next Conor Washington.

Take a look at the extensive list of strikers our competitors picked up for less than we paid for Dykes. It's somewhere on this board, I'm sure Stan can provide a link. As for Eze plenty of us knew he was a player when he was deemed surplus here and sent to cool his arse down the docks.

This thread probably a bit redundant.
Anyone we do sign will most likely be someone we have never heard of.
Am confident we will get a striker but will probably be at the back end of the window.

Could just as easily be the next Conor Washington. Don't think anyone mentioned him being a week in week out scorer did they? What I will say is, I will have £1000 right now with anyone that Langstaff will score more next season than 3 of our strikers scored combined in the league last season which was 10 goals. That in itself will be worth the money. How do we know who's been in for him by the way? 😂 fella has scored bundles for ages. Let me know who fancies the bet.

He could score more than our three strikers combined and still be in single figures, so on that basis I'm certainly not going to bet against you! That said, every window there are scores of players where fans say "I wish we got him". Lets reserve judgement until the close of the window. Am not defending the club's record on strikers - which has been abysmal - but we don't know yet what budgets and other targets we have. Think the new regime has earned the right to be judged at the end of the process, not near its beginning.

I'd also imagine we'd be looking more in the continental market than the domestic one, given Marti and Nourry's connections. With that being said I do think we have missed a trick with Langstaff, if we were not even in for him.
