Stam said in his press conference today that there's money available, but not £5-6 million. Which presumably puts pretty much all proven champ strikers out of our reach unless we wangle a loan deal.

Assuming the £2-3 million mark for a striker, who is there out there? Presumably a punt on someone from the lower leagues or abroad.

Do wonder whether those players from the lower leagues would actually be any better than Samuel or Rakels (is he still alive?) though

you'd have to think either of those two would probably score a fair few in Div2

I'm not sure if there is anyone like Sam Winnall knocking about coming to the end of their contract. Think Sheff Wed got a steal there.

We don't necessarily need better, but if Stam is going to persisst with one up, we do need different. Neither of them are really line leaders imo.

So we have Kermogant who is a line leader, we have Samuels, Rakells who are different, and we have Meite who looks different again.
What are we looking for ?

If you could pry him away from Scunthorpe, I reckon Paddy Madden could be the best for that money he has consistently scored goals in league 1 for a few years and is a more complete player than others mentioned. scunny would probably accept 2 million for him.

Yeah his 0 goals when Yeovil were in the championship were really impressive.

Kermie doesn't score enough and is old. So back up / replacement for him.

But it really depends how we shape up for what we need.

That was 4 years ago before he had developed and also he was playing with players round him of Yeovils standard (no offence Yeovil) He is quick pacey and has an eye for goal he pretty much ticks all the boxes.

If you look at Kermorgant's record since last January, he's played 38 games with 10 goals. For Bournemouth he got 38 (15).

Double figures in the Championship over less than a full season isn't bad for a 35 year old.

Interesting stat as I didn't feel Kermorgant scored enough!

I think unless an unbelievable option becomes available to us, there is very little reason to replace anyone. I think Rakels still has something to offer us off the bench providing he can get himself fit.

So no real need to panic in this window.
Replacing Kermogant in the summer is a priority, buying the wrong player at a daft price is not necessary now.

Were now linked with Darnell Furlong who I believe is a RB. Contract is up in the summer. This is interesting if true considering the emergence of Watson.
