It seems fair enough. That does not mean I agree. It really depends how fit our players will be for the final run in and play-offs. I think our rivals are being extravagent with their signings.

Wishful thinking. I think we are stuck with Baldock.

I thought he was more of a winger. Not a target man striker. And I did not include Baldock in our list of strikers, but he doesn't do striking all that much, not even for a midfielder. And Bladock is menat to be a striker. And Derby play 4-3-3 which only means one specialist striker. And a...

Forgot him as well. The point is that our rivals are stronger in the striker department in terms of numbers and especially in term of being available for next season, the larger sized players more suited for a lone furrow upfront. Not sure they are any better in quality this season. Not in...

Forgot about Blackman (gamble). Camara is meant to be their missing winger. Not like for like with Martin and Bent though. Does show our rivals see the need for an extra striker. And this may be important in the play-offs? Still along way to go before the play-offs. One injury upfront and...

Boro have already got four strikers of a similiar ilk: Stuani, Kike, Nugent, Adomah. Derby haven't though. Just got Martin and Bent. Hull have Hernandez only? Diomandé and Akpom might not be quite so good? We have Wilson (not ours), Zamora (ageing) and Hemed (not as quick?). Two are set...

Not saying that. I said I agree with Bozza that the striker needs to be something different from what we have already got. We have got the small forwards with the low centre of gravity. So for something different we could need/want 1) a lump of a target striker (as a focus point, but more than...

A good call. Tall enough, young enough, quicker than most of the contendors. It would not be my essential choice though. I've only seen him a few times and he did not look especially sharp and mobile as he ought to be. We have to do as well if not better than our rivals and I'm sure if he is...

So think of a 6ft striker that is mobile rather than a target man? Someone quick, youngish and can shoot with both feet. That rules out Murray who is old, not quick enough and can only shoot with his right foot. (James Wilson nearly fits the bill, just needs a bit more strength, but he is not...

Last seven home games: Leeds, Wednesday, Reading, Burnley, Fulham, QPR, Derby. Then Boro away. We are going to need a bit of quality to get the wins and be in with a chance in these games. I hope we can compete as then it will be exciting. Season tickets for these games? If you are a...

Agree i) this means a taller striker instead of the midgets ii) this means ??? in the age group 22 to 25 perhaps 26 with a possible resale value, or an older player (31) on a shorter contract. I do not know of many examples where the older striker has performed in similar cirumstances and we...
