Akpom ill tonight so not on bench.
We are desperate for another body - especially with the games coming thick and fast.
We know previous Managers have let you down but this one looks the real deal.

Would cost minimum of £10k a week - £300,000 in wages that Gibson clearly given what he is already bankrolling can’t afford. Might seem shortsighted to some but they aren’t the ones putting their hand in their pocket.
 
I‘d rather we carried on as we are till the transfer window and give the youngsters a chance than grab someone out of desperation who would in all likelihood do very little in a couple of months.
 
Monk spent (sp*nked) 9mil on Braithwaite / 7 Mil on Fletcher and 15 Mil on Briit. We already had 6 Mil Rudy and 6 Mil Bamford. So we had 5 forwards on massive wages to the tune of 43 fecking Million😒

If Britt and Fletcher leave for nothing in the summer it's pretty much money burned on all of them bar Bamford.

Throw in Pulis paying 2mil to loan Hugill and a fair chunck of his 50k wages (the loan fee alone just about pays for Akpom).

He's our Neil struggling to get one in on a free. He must look at past managers and think 'what did they buy' 😒
 
I'd be more concerned if our strikers were missing chances. The difficult part it appears is providing goal scoring opportunities for the front man/men.
 
Give the strikers a chance.its a long time since Assombalonga played in a decent team, Akpom has just come in. We have Fletcher as back up once fit.

Couldn't give a toss how much any of them cost, that's history. If our side continues to improve they'll then get their chance to show if they're up to it or not.
 
Looking at the fixtures we are pretty much playing solid Saturdays and Tuesdays until the new year. Its not just strikers either, the likes of Mcnair, Fry, Dijksteel, Howson will need rotating over these next few weeks and we dont seem to have the players who can come in and replace them. 13 games to play before Jan plus internations for Mcnair, Saville is going to be very tough

Back to the original post - who does the poster suggest we sign?

This is true👍

Let's be honest if a forward is still without a club in October you have to question why. Also many of the ones available are perma crocks wrong side of 30. That or they have scored 7 goals in 2 years.

Even Warnock himself said a month ago that if a player doesn't have a contact by now then you have to ask some questions. Just look at Sonogo.... Apparently simply not fit or anywhere near.

Some of these players got released in March when clubs locked down. The others ain't played since June. They could take 4 weeks or more to get up to speed then the Jan window is approaching.

Even bringing in a 30 year old free journeyman could cost 20k a week for the rest of the season. It plugs a gap but you'd be better buying one you want in Jan.

If he doesn't think we need one or Gibson can't afford one then I trust the pair of them to come to the correct decision 👍
