Assuming what Eddie Howe is right and we dont get GM and cant afford a £6m signing who is there that we could and perhaps should be chasing to loan to bring in as a striker. Lets have some serious suggestions for discussion as to possible availability, price, suitability etc.


My starter Peter Crouch or Steven Fletcher

Why is that? If we had to pay all of their £40k wages per week that is only about £500k for the rest of the season which must be an investment if they can score the goals that get us promoted. A decision for TB yes but an interesting point for us to discuss.

Crouch didn't look match fit the other night for Stoke and Fletcher doesn't score enough goals- Good player though.

I am still hanging my hat on Aroune Kone or Jordan Rhodes as permanent signings but if there is to be a signing, they are giving absolutely nothing away because I asked the question and there was no answer forthcoming

Would it be worth sounding Middlesbro out over Kike now they have got Rhodes, it would probably have to be a purchase.

So have we really given up on signing a quality striker on a permanent? Really disappointing given all the hype about spending millions that we are now scratching around for a loan signing when we should have sorted this striker problem years ago.

The club have kept quiet throughout but have not once tried to stifle the expectation that built of spending 7 to 10 million on South Americans that so many on here blindly believed. Was this a little deceitful or good business sense by the club given the 1901 renewals being due? We were never going to spend that sort of money were we?

Nobody has said that it is just a matter of who is or may be available either to buy or even loan, the market is very bare at the moment.at a realistic price. When Afobe went for £10m that set the mark.

I don't think Middlsbough have got Rhodes yet, have they? I thought a fee had been accepted but that's as far as it is. If that's the case then we know how much he would cost and would b up to us to counter it and convince the lad himself if he was a target

Sorry I thought that it was signed and sealed as reported he was at their training ground earlier to day. Would we counter the bid, do you think, I know it is your opinion not CH or anybody elses?

it seems out limit is around the £2m mark so I think Rhodes is out of the question tbh. Although I don't think he will score many goals for Boro unless they start playing 442.

It always is if you wait until the 11th hour. We should just be grateful that we got someone of the quality of Knockaert in, at least he can cross the ball to our misfiring strikers and take a free kick.

We can't afford to pay someone £40k a week !! If we did I'd want better than those two
