Worth a punt ? 20 goals in 49 appearances last season. Just turned 24 so right age group, big lad 6ft 3 - on a relatively modest salary at Preston apparently. A cheaper option than Gyokeres who is a very similar player

 

[newyddion]

Don’t fancy him me like

 

[Middlesbrough123]

What are we saying the average price for a 15-20 goal a season striker is now ?

 

[Joy_Division_Oven_Gloves]

Ran us ragged home and away - it’s a tea from me

I don’t know but i’d say £6-7m for this lad

 

[indeedido]

Both of them would be top work.
Said so ages back.
Then a PL loan too. Muniz or Armstrong.

 

[Middlesbrough123]

The media should make a few stories up over the weekend and next week now wel appear to have some money to spend on strikers etc

 

[Juninho twinkle toes.]

I’d have him. Looks a good player.

 

[Juninho twinkle toes.]

3 goals against us, home & away.

I noticed when he was subbed at Preston, Wilder turned to Knill & said something. Probably that he liked the look of him maybe.

Or alternatively thank f uk they are taking him off!

 

[Morton94]

Would take him 100% I'd be surprised if Wilder hadn't looked at him, he ran us ragged in both games last season!

 

[Frozen Horse]

£ 8-10 million is not a punt is it?

 

[festa5]

Don't know much about him other than his stats. But assume the consideration for Wilder is does he fit the style of play?

Is he a mobile 6 foot 3, or is he more of a target man? Because Wilder wants forwards who can press effectively and sustain it for at least 70 mins (hence Uche being written off immediately).

Obviously the same goes for any potential striker signing.

What do people think?

 

[Colin Warnek]

Yes please. Quality player.

 

[h_m_boro]

Definitely. Preston have no money so for a reasonable fee can't see them refusing. Chuck Uche in as a sweetener

 

[Ian Bairds Ears]

Is this speculation based on rumours or just fanciful imagination.?

Fanciful imagination I think. Would be a good signing though

 

[MickaelDebevePhenomenal]

Big, strong, but athletic enough to press from the front. Certainly an upgrade on any of last seasons strikers.

That's all we have to do, upgrade last seasons' striker options. Since we didn't have one 70-80 minute player, it should be straightforward.
