............and Gus will be desperate to have him in place in the next few days if he can. We missed out on Ribas so are we now looking at home or is our new target still overseas
Well someone had to start the thread
Favourites at the moment are:
Ross McCormack - looks like he will stay at Leeds
Jordan Rhodes - Fulham in for him and his price has escalated way beyond our means
Christian Stuani - in dispute over his contract with Reggina having been loaned out to Spanish League 2 clubs for the last three seasons. Scores goals and fits the profile but seems to be a complicated set-up to unwrangle. Main promoter of this is Misterspatch - sadly not the most reliable among our rumour mongers
Aaron McLean - probably not an initial target but as the options close could he be worth a punt?
Paul Taylor - very raw Posh striker off the back of one good season. Potentially exciting or potential flash in the pan?
Billy Paynter - not as silly as it sounds maybe. There is still a good striker in there waiting to get out and Gus has found it before. Given his predeliction for ex-players might he try again?
oh and Bobby Zamora - reportedly on £80K a week or thereabouts. We can't afford him or Santa Cruz or any of the other fantasy names. Bridge was a stunning deal with Man City paying his wages but no-one has any need to do a deal like that for a striker to come to the Championship - they are just in way too much demand in the EPL so even if their home club don't want them they are not coming down to us surely.................?
Way too many possibilities for a poll but who would we like to see wearing the stripes for the first game of the season?
