Slightly different player but one I really highly rate from watching number of times for Gillingham is Bradley Dack. Wouldn't be cheap but he'd add something different and quality to our squad still think we couple get him for a couple million.

I do worry that with Blackman leaving, we have Sa, Vydra and not a lot else up front, so a decent option off the bench is needed so someone like Dack or Bradshaw could be a worth a punt. More importantly though, we need to find a formation and starting line up that works, fitting round pegs in round holes. Blackman leaving could be a blessing in disguise in that respect.

We have Cox, Samuel, HRK and Piazon as well as Sa and Vydra so we are covered for the rest of this season.

No need to sign any strikers. We've got Vydra, Sa, Cox, Liburd, and Samuel, and we should probably only be using one.

Wingers? Again, think we're fine. McCleary, HRK, Hurtado, John, Stacey, Fosu.

agree, we need a back up for Tshibola and to play a 5 man midfield or 3 man depending how attacking you want your wide players to I suppose...

Why not, Lasse Vibe went to brentford and came from the best club in Sweden.

Danish and Swedish leagues are of a similar level.

Disagree on the striker front. I'm sure McDermott will continue to play 4-4-2 (Sa & Vydra) and that only leaves Cox & Liburd until Samuel is back. Cox isn't good enough and Liburd is young and unproven.

I don't think we need a new first team striker but some backup would be helpful.

Playing with 2 up top you'll always need at least 4 strikers over a season.

05/06 - Doyle, Kitson, Lita & Long.
11/12 - Roberts, Hunt, ALF & Church (:shock:)

Dack is an attacking midfielder - he wouldn't play in a front 2 or 3.

Exactly - said as much after the last match. Only time Blackman looked good was as a wide forward under Clarke's early season 4-3-3 line-up. In any other formation, there was nowhere to play him.

£3m is not going to get a lot, perhaps they will abroad again ?

SC did wonders with him, and prob credited with the inflated price we got, plus it goes some way to repay his £1.25m compensation !

We need to start by replacing those out of contract in the summer.
